The last several days on Wild Horse Island featured two large herds of bucks roaming around our cabin. Magnificent to behold. (at Wildhorse Island-Flathead Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD28zmrHgmU/?igshid=czahjo1c5ni4

Replaced the throttle body on my F-150 today after it was repeatedly going into “limp mode” while driving down the highway. This swap seems to have resolved the issue. I understand the general function of the part, but what causes such a gunky carbon build-up? And is there anything I could be doing to prevent this from happening again?

Yes, my friends, Big Daddy G is no longer swinging an axe or a maul. This 55-pound flywheel makes for killer quick cycle times. No hydraulics. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuI6UnH5fe/?igshid=q6s44vg8jzxa

Standing in line at the Wayzata DMV is a visual pleasure. Hats off to the gardener in charge for such a delightful experience. I need to transfer titles more often. (at City of Wayzata (Local Government)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2xs_tlwtU/?igshid=ruhem42qivno

It need not be a mythical phoenix that arises from the ashes. Nature provides its own models of possibility. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-iW0AHgTW/?igshid=1mcicec91875j

Remembering the majesty of this world during a time of human suffering, accompanied by a poem by Lucille Clifton: “the garden of delight” for some it is stone bare smooth as a buttock rounding into the crevasse of the world for some it is extravagant water mouths wide washing together forever for some it is fire for some air and for some certain only of the syllables it is the element they search their lives for eden for them it is a test (at Washburn Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4eLpFljPw/?igshid=pogjevlouz5d

Fun on the Cuyuna trails with these two studs. Each day it gets a little bit more challenging to keep up with those stallions, but I’m not ready for pasture yet. (at Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdTH8xnR20/?igshid=1440mzvr6edr6
