Hyrulian Hero

I was heading out for a short hike in the woods close to home today when I heard the 1880's train (a stream engine that runs people from my town to a nearby town as kind of a tourist thing in the Black Hills). By the time I got to the crossing, the train was almost there so I waited for it to pass. All of the tourists on the train smiled and waved as the train passed and some even took pictures. Can't imagine why.

My workspace today.

Started a new endeavor called TEARS (Tactical Elusion And Reconnaissance Simulation) open to the lan party boys. Each round took around an hour and one of the dudes had a DJI Mini Pro drone. I spent three weeks building a ghillie suit and hid successfully. Our play area was around 4-5 acres and was composed of mostly ponderosa, aspen/birch forest, some high prairie, and some spruce groves. It was a great time and we're definitely doing it again before game night next time. Got a picture of this dude before he realized I found him.

Awesome time with the family today. First time harvesting birch sap.

I don't know why I do the things I do.

What the heck happened to Zelda special edition gold? Not even my BotW Master Edition cart is gold! It used to be something really special about Zelda and now Nintendo seems to have forgotten about it. The last one I can think of is probably the Skyward Sword 25th anniversary box which was...shiny I guess? There was a gold DS for Spirit tracks I think it was, I guess that kind of counts. Still, where is my gold Switch cart??

My wife made me some liquid-courage today.

In the hills this morning.

Weaving History: exactly the way I've seen the Legends of Zelda. "As the stories and storytellers of Hyrule change, so, too, does its history." I consider this the correct way to look at the "timeline".

An old gold mine in the hills is just the place to contemplate life.

Shout out to a very early 3D video game in which the development team took the time to make a hollow log an irregular trapezoid instead of a square or rectangle.

So I came across this on marketplace today and I'm all...

When you only have 45 minutes to hunt after work, you take the unicorn.

Came across this little gem this week. A little small for what you need?! Where you gonna find a bigger wench?! Spelling is fun.

We moved to the middle of the country almost two years ago and I'd never seen this type of grass. SD has a bunch of types of grass that exist nowhere else and now I'm seeing it go to seed in our yard. This is so cool looking! I thought for sure if I blew on it, I could call a hawk but it's not working as expected...
