On a ruck this morning, realized this house I’ve walked past hundreds of times is likely a teardown for new development.

It’s an afternoon cup kind of day. It also covers “filter” for #mbaug.

Sound. For me and #mbaug to unpack the day.

For transport, today’s #mbaug word, I went with literal and wishful. From Las Vegas a few years back. We’d gotten in the habit of taking a day and walking from wherever we stayed to downtown. It gets you a much different perspective of the city.

I was a day early on windows for #mbaug, so here’s a second take. Shot this in early June here in downtown Raleigh—that feels like it was impossibly long ago considering it’s only August. Much has changed, more hasn’t since then.

Windows for #mbaug

Grayson Highlands. Thinking we’re going back this fall. #mbaug

Today’s word for #mbaug is Daytripping. 57 is overdue for an extended drive.

Lebanon has been on my mind of late. Took this in Beirut back in 2008. If you can, consider a donation to the Lebanese Red Cross. www.supportlrc.app/donate/

I had an issue with my well worn Kaweco Sport—I had swapped out the cartridge and the flow was terrible. Cleaned it and still no joy this morning. Replaced with a spare nib assembly, it was a bit too generous.

Anyone have recommendations for good tutorials on nib tuning? #mbaug

Need to get this framed soon.

Fetch. It’s serious business.

I seem to have BYOBug to the party. #mbaug

Hello watermelon mojito.

Floating. Made me think of last weekend, the weekend before… last month, let’s go with that… and the two hours we spent kayaking in middle sound. #mbaug

From today’s ride: A sculpture made from the trash found along the greenway creek.

That would be these @patrickrhone

One more for the road.

Middle Sound

Needed more Cupajoe. Took the Checkpoint.

Halfway.

Waiting on a kettle…

Really digging the content and presentation of this iconic Robert Frank image. www.nytimes.com/interacti…

Good bye.
