So, he doesn't actually send me the link, he sends me a route map. 👀 This is where things start escalating. I notice it starts on the divide. Lemhi pass. (Ok, great, love that area)31 miles.(Ok, so I guess he is planning one or two nights backpacking)The route is the Continental Divide. (Challenging route, but cool)Then I get the link to the event. It's a FUCKING ULTRA MARATHON!!! On the #CDTIn the beaverhead mountains. #W#T#F(3/?)

I show the event to my wife, hoping for her to back me up on this being too crazy. Her: "it's not like you're going to say no."(Pause) Her: "you really should start training" Then she said something along the lines of "at least you're really good at suffering..." idk what she said past that. I just started picturing the amount of suffering I'm in for doing an ultra marathon at 10,000' on top of the most remote mountains in the Rockies.#ugh (4/?)

#FlashFlooding near City of Rocks National Reserve. Roads impassable/missing. We crossed a few places with a bit of water over the road (off road equipped 4x4 F150 super crew) those were minor, won't dare cross this one, it's deep and swift.So.... Now we sit in the middle of the desert and wait. Tallest thing for a mile around... had a lightning strike within 200 feet. Yay. #Idaho #IDWx #Weather

@IdahoLark we're all good now. We were trying to skirt around the worst of the hail & lightning to get to our camp, but it didn't work. 🤷♂️

@mlanger @gwensnyder Iowa is a weird mix. I've lived there, my wife's fam is there. They are so evenly split that they alternate between building bike trails and banning books. it's weird.

Needed to test a new tent and fastpack before a long trip coming up. So I backpacked into Farley Lake late last night. Nice trail run / fastpack out this morning. #Idaho #Sawtooth #Fastpack #trailrunning #Mountains

Back home after being off grid for 4+ days walking in a giant circle in the wilderness. What'd I miss?

Been doing a social media engagement study over the last month or so. (On main & alts)Mastodon - most (and best) engagement.Bluesky -- has potential, growing rapidly. Threads -- a lot of people, very little substance or engagement.Twitter - I have no idea, I don't fund Nazis

@IdahoLark fwiw some the search upgrades aren't enabled yet as I've got to spin up a new database to handle them, just ran out of time last night debugging an issue. it's on my list for the next few days. But all the other security & feature improvements are good.

@netblocks it's just poor terminology, better stated as a global technology outage.

@aral @laura I mean, that headline is misleading. It's #CrowdStrike

@aral @laura sure. but saying Microsoft is suffering an outage is inaccurate and borderline unethical at this point. I hate MS and we don't have a single windows box in my org, but still... This is 100% confirmed by #Crowdstrike and every other news outlet to be #CrowdStrike not an MS issue.
