Budapest: Guarding the Entrance
None shall pass I’ve been home about a week from my last business trip, and I am still going through thousands of photos I took on my downtime in Barcelona and Budapest. This is one from Budapest, as you enter the courtyard to the Budapest History Museum. I visited the museum on my last trip, but […]
Trigger therapy
Heading to the range This morning I am heading out to the Pennsylvania Public Range at the State Game Lands 127 for a little bit of target practice. I’ve been traveling in Europe so much this summer that I haven’t been able to get any target shooting in. Today’s therapy has been prescribed and will […]
Saturday Morning Ride
The return of the Jack-O’-Liner This morning, Jen and I went out for breakfast at Cherry’s Sunset Diner in Kresgeville, then for a ride up and around the Poconos and Lehigh Valley… with all the travel I’ve been doing this summer, it was great to finally get out on my custom Stratoliner / Jack-O’-Liner and just ride with […]
OMG – Nice Weather – on a weekend?!?
Surely this is a sign the world shall end! I’ve been on the road nearly all summer, and whenever I have been home its been pissing rain out… not a pattern that conducive to my stress relieving motorcycle riding… but not this weekend! This weekend, other than some paperwork I need to catch up on, I […]
Droning on about Drones
To Drone or not to drone … Well, that question I’ve answered. I am looking at getting a drone to muck around with here in the backwoods I live in, as well as when I travel (where permitted). I’ve been digging around online and have narrowed it down to two options, the Phantom 3 Professional from […]
WordPress Upgrade to v4.3
The only thing we have to fear … … is not having a good, complete, usable backup! But luckily, so far, things appear to have gone fairly well. I am now upgraded to WordPress 4.3 and well… nothings gone sideways yet – but the night is young. If you happen to see any gremlins or […]
The True Grand Budapest Hotel
Grand Budapest Hotel So, I haven’t done this type of post yet, but there is a first time for everything. Last week I was in Budapest for business, and because of a music festival in town, my normal hotel was booked out, and I stayed at the Hilton Budapest Castle Hotel — and it truly was […]
Share a Coke with a Blogger?
I brought this bottle home from Budapest and I thought it was hilarious (and fitting) – Or it could just be that it’s 8pm and I’m hitting the jet lag wall trying to stay awake until 10 so I don’t wake up at 3am again tomorrow … Either way – share a Coke with me 🙂 […]
Jetlag 1 – Sleep Pattern 0
Jetlag : A.K.A. I need a vacation from my travels So, I got home late last night from my latest European Vacation business trip… while it wasn’t as bad as the Griswald’s coming home from CEST usually does bad things to my circadian rhythm and sleep patterns. Its currently about 8:15 PM here in US […]
26 hours to go …
Heading home … Its been a long 5 out of 6 weeks of business travel this summer – but it is coming to a close very shortly. In 26 hours I get on my British Airways flight from Budapest, Hungary to London, Heathrow … then Heathrow back to Philadelphia … then finally back into the Poconos […]
