I started a podcast with my friends Dave Hicking and @zuzana_kunckova! My Midwestern modesty can't help but feel like it's vain to think people want to hear from me but it turns out it's tons of fun!

My coffee maker has a "Bold" button. Doesn't do anything except slow down the brew. The Boldness is if you're willing to be late for work or not.

Looking back behind me on my office bookshelf. One of the best gifts my parents ever gave me.

So I had several cameras taking timelapse movies during the #aurora of 28th February. Here's about 3 hours compressed into a couple of minutes. #auroraaustralis #astronomy #NewZealand #aotearoa #landscapes

Matched last year's sap collection...and it's only March 1st.

@jerzone I was woken from my sleep early this morning from very loud thunder. What a roller-coaster here this winter....

The Northern Lights just now from our window in Donegal, Ireland. Shot by my daughter.

Slow lately. Not horrible to get a break though. Bottled up what I boiled last week. Another 5.8 gallons. Just over 16 gallons bottled up this season. Still February. Looks like it's going to get nuts again.

Did some today with the club. Went 5 for 5 on flights. No long walks. No broken anything. Great day of flying.

Upscale Nike-X on an Aerotech G76 Mojave Green to ~1300'
Sorcerer's Apprentice on an Estes D12-5 to 750'
Der Big Red Max on an Aerotech F20-4 White Lightning to 750'
Skyracha - a 4" diameter upscale Big Daddy on an Aerotech H128 White Lightning to 1000'

Not pictured; Normal Big Daddy on an Aerotech F39 Blue Thunder to about 800'. Too quick off the rail to get a good shot.

Finished this little gut-punch of a book during lunch. The story hits home; having grown up on a farm where there were a lot of small farms (key word: were). sneezingcow.com/

Current state of our east-facing patio door/windows.

So far, the Sullivan NWS is nailing the forecast. Left is 4am, forecast (actually. looked very similar last night) Right is1pm driving conditions. Red = ice-covered.

Really enjoying having to turn my music up louder to drown out the sound of ice hitting my office window.

Back at it again. Crazy runs over the last few days. I'm at 830 gallons of sap off my 95 taps. 1100 last year for the whole season and we have 5-6 weeks left.... Nuts.
