• See You at WordCamp US!

    I’m going to be at WordCamp US this year. This conference is well-timed because I’m starting to think about finding freelance work for the upcoming Winter season. I haven’t seen anyone in-person in WordPress since 2019! I can’t wait to see y’all!

    We finally put the truck rack on the truck today. And hours later, we already made use of it, to haul some lumber for a small platform we need to build for our shed. We got this so we can take kayaks and things with us when we travel ????

    Well that was the longest 650 miles ever. 15 hours. In city or town traffic for the majority of the drive. Camper in tow. Tired. Sleeping now ????.

    On a fun note, I got to see parts of New York City. Kinda neat I guess.

    Woke up this morning preparing to drive to Vermont, and remembered that we did not make this drive in one go before. It’s 720 miles (!). Our highest mileage is 620. Guess we’re stopping in Poughkeepsie. It only cost 27 bucks though, thanks to the crazy amount of KOA rewards we’ve accumulated this year ????.

    9 days in the OBX was just the thing. Nothing but kiting, and chilling at the beach, and I loved it. Back to Vermont tomorrow though! Lots more to do before we go to WordCamp US this month!

    I love this little camper so much. It’s not the most comfortable setup long term, but it’s small, easy to haul, and ready for adventure. a real “camper’s camper”, if you will.

    Seems silly to have a camper that’s basically dedicated to camping when you literally live in campers full time, but it’s an optimization which I do not regret.

    I just noticed every year since we’ve started traveling, one place has stuck out and felt like “home” each year. Ohio (2020) Taos (2021) Vermont (2022) Rodanthe (2023).

    I wonder if we’ll eventually get repeat locations that earn such a title?

    We’ve cleared most of our belongings leftover in our storage shed in Dover. I have 4 solar panels that I need to either sell, store, or use. I have our travel rig with me right now, so I’m thinking it’s time to mount them to the roof. I think I can get all 4 mounted, but it’s going to be reeeeeeeeally tight. Hoping I can because 1200w on this rig would be amazing.

    We decided to take the travel rig, and spend a few weeks in my hometown in Ohio. It was time to mix things up a bit, and we have some a storage shed full of our house stuff that we don’t really want anymore. It’s time to get rid of it. Naturally, we’re going to visit with family and the like while we’re here, too.

    Parked for a single night harvest host stay en route to Vermont. The beers are fantastic.

    I think US beer is way, way better up north. There’s so many styles that people crave in cold months compared to hot months, and I’m convinced this makes the breweries produce more variety.
