Enjoying a Kaywoodie pipe tonight some tobacco I have packed away but neglected to keep the name. Winter is a great time of year to make the switch.

The pipe tobacco has also aged an extra year allowing it to mellow out even more so I can’t wait to taste and enjoy

What I posted I could easy just text friends… So what was…

RSS – A truly hidden and forgotten gem. It stands for Real Simple Syndication and was created back in the infancy of the web. Back when trackers were not a thing and delivering 30 different advertisements on a page was not a thing. It harkens back to the days when you checked your email once a week and you wanted to keep up with 20 or so webpages, but quickly. RSS feeds will allow you to take back your life and stop wasting time on the internet. I hope we can revive this long forgotten technology. It would seem to me that the two biggest barriers is finding a reader…

So many posts I have started and failed to publish. Oh my…. Just looking at all my unpublished posts all the way back to 2018. Since it is the new year, I’m going to resolve myself to publishing a post a day! Been good at it so far, just would like to keep it up. Still going to revolve around my travels and adventures, fitness, money, and my photography passion that has grown immensely over the last year. Stick around!
