(written on October 7th from notes taken previously) I was up relatively early, but I mostly just wasted my early-morning hours. Saw the news that President Nelson had passed away.

I don't remember. I think maybe it was dropping something off down there, but as I was … Continue reading 2025-09-23 (Tuesday) — Massive Muddy Mayhem
