Dairy farm kid turned geek, regretting getting into tech despite how well it pays the bills. Spend all day explaining how computers work to people that get paid to know it, but don't.

At pretty much any moment of the day, I would rather be outside.

Push-mowed the yard last night and if my math is right; that avoided burning about $3 in gas. Guess I'll be doing that more.

Had to make a reservation at a North Dakota state park for a bit of our journey back from Glacier. Spending a few days at Teddy Roosevelt National Park. The reservation website was failing to let me add a vehicle and length, so then I couldn't reserve a site. Guessing everyone was running into it since their phone line was constantly busy.

Hit F12 for dev tools, looked at the script. Simply deleted the element of the web page for the vehicle addition and made my reservation :)

We'll have a new camper soon, and we need an outdoor cooktop for it. It has the bracket already on the camper. So, I scrounged up some leftover hickory flooring for it. First step is to make the top. Got the sides cut as well. Once this is dry I'll router out the outside edge for edging to attach below.

I'm hoping to rip the cooktop out of the inside and replace that with an oven and cooktop. Then the cooktop will drop into this. #camping #aliner
