^^ You know you've been following Joe's humor for while if, like me, you literally pictured the slight movement of the duck while reading that.

Unrelated:

The ducks have taken on a life of their own. I stopped putting them on things about a year ago, mostly out of laziness. And yet they're still showing up in new places.

This one:



Literally, that one specific cable, right there. In that specific port. Just like it says in the instructions.

Sometimes, you just have to resort to that level of snarkiness in an email correspondence.



Anybody here know of any good vacation spots in North / South Dakota? Asking seriously. Places where you can drive to, park an RV, and just be totally disconnected for a week or two, with interesting stuff to see. I'm gonna need that before long.

I feel like a good vacay for you would be renting a truck and driving to Portland or Milwaukee.

Black Hills National Forest comes to mind immediately.

Workable.


Also, I finally got to hang this sign outside the main equipment room:



It's taken four years to finally get to this point.

ND and SD are a long drive and meh. They will be overrun by Minnesotans trying to get close to the wildlife. Look instead at the UP around Grand Marais and Munising, Washington Island, WI, or the north woods of WI. Cooler, greener, water.

Grew up in ND, about the only semi-interesting thing is Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but it's not worth the drive. Southwestern SD has many more interesting things. There are tons of places to park your RV, but in general I'd stay away from Mt. Rushmore if you can, as it will be busier in that area. The further north and west you go, the more desolate it will be, with the exception of Deadwood. I'd highly recommend bringing the Miata if you can, there's some terrific driving in that area, like Iron Mountain road.

Can confirm black hills national forest is a nice spot. ND and SD are pretty desolate otherwise. If you're heading all the way to SW SD you may as well keep going west as that's just where the cool stuff starts popping up. There are endless things to do and sights to see between black hills national forest up to glacier national park.

Last time i was out there, i was a little kid. I'd love to go back, i have very awesome memories of it.


This was year 2000. Believe it or not, people (us) were still shooting on film. I had to dig these out of the basement storage, scan them in, then upload them. Just for this post.
