Getting to spend a few days climbing with these guys from Frost Valley YMCA was a joy. It was so cool to see their skills progress as climbers and their teamwork flourish as they learned to belay each other. All after getting off a week of backpacking! Rock on, dudes. 📷
Saturday found me guiding Jim and Matt up their first High Peak. Whiteface was a formidable choice for their first, especially as we opted for the more adventurous up-and-over route via Whiteface Landing. (What a great route!) Their preparation paid off and even ascending into rain clouds couldn’t dampen our spirits! Things cleared up for a gorgeous descent. Here’s to many more father/son hikes in the ADK. 🥾 📷
I’ve never seen this data detector before. On iOS 17 it recognized I was being asked for a photo, so clicking on “picture” opens the photo picker. Nice!
Oh boy, we’re hardly out of follow-up, and @connected@relayfm.social is already way off the rails. 😂 Gonna be a great one! 🎙️
I promise you’re not ready for the utter madness that is this very real training video from Waffle House where they show how they’ve made a new “written language” of sorts with food and condiment packets to represent every possible variation of their menu.
Took Phin for a walk today and surprised him with his first swim of the year! Water dog = happy dog. 😁 📷
Congrats to @robb@social.lol and @johnvoorhees@macstories.net on bringing Ruminate to MacStories. It’s a super fun show with the best artwork, and even better hosts. 😁

The joys of a decade+ friendship are quips like this on @atpfm@mastodon.social. 🤣 🎙️
Things were getting boring, so Phin found a new thing to be perturbed by: reflections on the ceiling that he cannot chase. 📷
Possibly my new favorite meme! 🤣 (I love that you can see Chris Pratt almost break into a smile.)
Deciding how to spend my money: 🥽
It’s not my primary method of reading my timeline, but going through it via RSS instead of the app has advantages beyond knowing that you’ve seen everything and it won’t lose your place, such as long-press for link previews!
Thanks @imyke@myke.social for giving me fresh perspective on Frozen 2, which I did not originally enjoy, but now have a new appreciation for.
