    Okay, we dropped our big camper off in storage for the Summer. It took all day to get it delivered there, but it’s in a sensible position where we can easily access it without going out of our way later this year. Today, we are finally taking the small one back to OBX. Can’t wait to be done driving.

    So yesterday, we went and purchased a new (MUCH smaller) 24′ camper that’s more similar to our OG rig. We intend to use this all summer for travel, and swap out for the big rig during winter when we’re less-active.

    This was a whole heckin’ process and I’ll get into it in a blog post when I come up for air. I’m super excited about it though!

    Exhausted. We left OBX this morning and are parked about 300 miles west in North Carolina for logistical reasons. Lots going on right now. Exciting, but tiring. I’ll share more when I have everything set.

    I think I’d really benefit from some kind of media service that handles the photos and videos on my WordPress site. I need a more-reliable way to upload videos that auto-converts the videos, optimizes them, serves them, organizes them, and all of that fancy stuff. WordPress works, but it’s never really been a great media tool. Hmm.

    I flew my stunt kite today! I bought it last week at a local kite shop in Kitty Hawk (unsurprisingly, wind-based flight is pretty big here). I’ve never flown a two string kite before, but I’m hooked. I only wrecked it three times ????.

    Man, the locals at OBX really love OBX. So many vanity plates and decals sporting the letters OBX.

    Looking at my personal “On this day” photos, and it became apparent that on this day 2 years ago I was in Coarsegold, California, where I had got myself in a hell of a pickle, and was helped by one of the most generous people I’ve ever met.

    Everyone’s talking about using ChatGPT to do things like write blog posts for them, or make pictures. Meanwhile, I’m over here using it to ask questions about video games I’m playing that is otherwise hard to search. I think this is particularly awesome.

    I haven’t actually used WP-env yet but it sounds promising. Anyone else using it for local WordPress development now?
