GNP Day 2, HQ

First 2022 look at Wild Goose Island. It’s just above Sox’s head.
Mei Mei from 2022’s Turning Red.
‘Elvis’ Stitch. Wild Goose Island. Elvis (the movie) came out June 2022. So why not Elvis Stitch?

A 14-hour reconnaissance day yielded great intel for the next two weeks before family arrives.

AT&T is available for first time ever.

Rising Sun has a cool one-mile St Mary Lake trail from the marina to the picnic area.

The one-hour drive from Logan Pass to West Glacier was delightful. The driver behind me gave me roughly the same space as i gave the car in front of me.

Got out at a traffic light to thank him.

‘Twas the night before, at HQ

16-second video: Testing 1,2,3…
March 2020. Explaining some things, father to teenage son, and the notion of managing your life with a compass versus a clock. One is about purpose. One is about productivity.

‘Twas the night before, at HQ…GNP…

To me, Apple Watch isn’t wearing a watch.

Apple Watch is wearing a small computer/phone on your wrist.

There’s something about Glacier

Cool t-shirt.

Notes while Jody Maberry and i had lunch at Two Dog Flats restaurant at Rising Sun Motor Inn. Was explaining my disdain for pontificators. Used the war historian versus soldier analogy. A war historian has never fought in a war, yet positions themself as an expert. To which Jody added…

This pair is trimming all the tree limbs from electrical wires. There are no wires on our side. This is their lunch break.
