Sometimes you can have the best luck with the worst luck. No amount of vagabond gear will outroll a dogpile. First time I've ever had four swords though. I didn't think that was really possible. #Root #Boardgames

Finally got the chance to try out my Brialetti. Unsurprisingly, it makes good coffee. It's not espresso quality but it is consistent and flavorful. 👍 ☕

Privacy.com saved me again. I created a Brilliant account to see what all the ad reads were about and used a Privacy virtual debit card to access the premium mode under a free trial. Eventually, I decided to close my account within the free trial window and disabled my Privacy card. Later, I found out they tried to charge me $129.50 anyway after I cancelled and closed my Brilliant account, but Privacy didn’t let the transaction go through.

GM. Crepes for breakfast!

FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 5: Misc photography

FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 4: Big Brutus The largest electric shovel still in existence. A magnificent fossil of American industry. 160 feet tall and weighing 5500 tons when it was operational. This thing is huge. It's a shame the boom was closed due to insurance reasons because I was getting dizzy just standing on the catwalk on the main body.

FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 3: Cars on the Route It was fun hearing a bit about the history of Route 66 and the Pixar animators who drove it and made a movie. idk why the last two selfies are mirrored even after I flipped them in the photo editor.

FRIDAY DAY TRIP PART 2: Grand Falls Probably the most fun I've had all month.

Had quite the day trip in Missouri and Kansas last Friday. Got to see the Carver National Monument, Grand Falls, Cars on the Route, the Galena museum (briefly. I'll have to return), and Big Brutus. If you're in the Joplin, Missouri area, it makes for a great day trip. You can easily hit four or five places in a single day, easy.

The flight out of Fresno into Denver is by far the most scenic flight I've ever had a window seat for. I didn't even get pictures except for the beginning, but let's just say you fly over a vast amount of natural beauty. Highly recommend it.
