Check out my new TESTING page where I hope to continue testing new features. Also, be sure to have a look at my new HIKES site and especially some of the “highlighted” hikes that are listed in bold there.
Note that HIKES used to be a “section” here, but there are a lot of them so I made a site just for them.
Camping and riding my new e-scooter at Caching and Camping event(s) around Lake Wapello State Park this weekend. Hit my 10,000th cache found on Friday in Ottumwa. Starting a new GLP-1 regimen with 2.5 mg of Mounjaro (at a reasonable price) injected Sunday in the right side of my stomach.
Using guidance found in Custom content types in Hugo to advance my micropost collection. Might need to re-visit https://workingcopyapp.com/ and check it out again. Better yet, check this out: https://cothinkers.substack.com/p/guide-publishing-to-hugo-jekyll-remotely-via-ios !
Just registered (twice) for GeoWoodstock. SummittDweller bought the Brook Trout package ($50). Landmark is too cheap and went for the free registration.
Where has the last year gone? While life (metaphorically the stream in the hero image) rolls on, this blog (any of the moss covered rocks in the image) has not.
This blog was born of good intentions, but frankly it’s too hard for an old fart like me to remember how to maintain it and make contributions. Having not posted here in many months, I had to consult my “documentation”, and ultimately my retired password manager, to get back in and post this. That’s unacceptable, and it won’t happen again.

Today is Saturday, January 13, 2024, and I won’t be able to watch the KC Chief’s wildcard playoff game vs. the Miami Dolphins tonight because it is streaming ONLY on Peacock, and I refuse to pay them for the “privilege” to watch it live. So, I’m going to do something productive instead. Let’s see if I can spin up an instance of StaticCMS to provide an OPEN CMS for the content editor(s) behind the Wieting Theatre website.

Just thought I would post a couple more photos, with a probable update later today. Took these photos yesterday (Friday, January 12) at about noon when I ventured outside to clear the driveway. Didn’t quite get it all done because it was just too cold and windy, and the snow was still falling. I didn’t even attempt to clear the front porch… ain’t nobody coming to visit today anyway. 8^)

Maybe not as bad as predicted (at least per some predictions) but it was enough wet snow for me. Took almost an hour to clear using my EGO cordless snow-thrower (love it) and there’s more to be done before Mackenzie and I can leave for work in the morning.
Fortunately both Grinnell College and South Tama County schools were closed today. GC re-opens at noon tomorrow and STC just announced that they will be closed on Wednesday too.

It’s no secret that I love building ridiculously inexpensive but secure and reliable static web sites. Unfortunately, adding and maintaining content can be a pain. I’d rather write code than content! So, I also want to pawn that content responsibility off on others, but that means teaching them to use VSCode – my means of editing static content – or providing a CMS (content management system) they can work with. There’s no such thing as a static CMS so now I need some “dynamic” components. Unfortunately my “dynamic” CMS requires user authentication because *we want SOMEONE editing our content, not EVERYONE! *That always seems to be pricey, at least by comparison to our $5/month static website.

Wow, it’s been way too long since I posted here. So much has happened, and been missed along the way. Time to fix that and I’m going to start with a re-write of the Wieting Theatre website using staticcms/core. Watch for a full blog post coming soon!
