Got out of the Navy and had no idea what I wanted to do, and a VA rep gave me a flyer for a tech school for Wind Turbine Technician certifications that would be paid for by a government grant, and here I am busting my knuckles 365ft off the ground for 13+ years.

Checked in on the Long-eared Owl pair I found last weekend, one was in a completely impossible to photograph spot but the other was sitting on a stick at ground level. These owls are fairly tolerant so it allowed me to get close enough into a position for a semi-clear shot of it! #birds #raptors

Dissapointed that there wasn't much structure to the aurora display tonight while I was out, but the actual brightness was at a level I don't think I've seen before. Comically bright, really. Hoping when the biggest of the 3 CME's hits tomorrow we get an even better show.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.
One of my favorite Bad Religion albums and one of the best punk albums period.

The Red-breasted Nuthatches are out in full force, seems to be an irruption year for them. I've never seen so many of them here in Eastern South Dakota. #birds

My view of the McCook, NE tornado. One of my favorite individual intercepts, but I missed the tornadoes afterwards because I stopped at the farm house that it hit to help with search and rescue.

Got some shots of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) tonight. This is a fairly faint comet, so I made a stack of multiple shots to bring out more detail of the comet. I also used this opportunity to get a shot of the Andromeda Galaxy. Brave new world of photography for me lol. #astronomy

This Eastern Screech Owl down at the lake last week. This little guy has been a resident there for about a year now and is pretty reliable!

Wish I had better shots of it, but it looks like it wasn't a Bridge Creek look-a-like just for show after all.
