May 20th, 2026 – Stone be Gone; Last of the Trailer Prep for Camping; Garmin Fenix 8 – I Like


I went in for my procedure yesterday, and before the “laser” even got involved the stone came out on its own when they got in there to take care of it.

Yesterday’s drive was more of a “positioning drive”, getting me farther along earlier in the trip so I can take advantage of some favorable weather heading west which did look good on the news this morning. It is looking like a nice morning outside after the sun came up and I have taken my time … Continue reading March 25th, 2026 – Mitchell, South Dakota to…; Time to Breathe
