  5. We Need to Talk About the National Park Service

    We need to talk about the National Park Service. What it does. What it costs. And what gets lost when an administration decides public goods are soft targets.

  10. Common Practice: Borrowed Tools Are the Point

    Some of the best things in a garage don't belong there for very long. This is about borrowed tools and how sharing builds a safer community. #WeKeepUsSafe

  11. Quick follow-up for anyone doing a power steering fluid flush: don’t run the reservoir low. The pump gulps air fast, then you get foam and whining (cavitation). If it happens, stop and bleed it properly.

  13. I knocked out a power steering fluid flush on the FJ and it was almost peaceful, right up until I realized I had nothing to cap the return port. Improvised. Spilled some. Learned a lot.

    Two quarts later, the pump is quiet and the old fluid is out. Full how-to here: adventureadjacent.com/2026/01/

  18. Fog + light rain, headlights carving a tunnel through the mist.

    Ten-second stinger of the Cruiser with a Resolve keyframe slow pan across the front end.

    If you’re driving in this: lights on, space out, take your time.

  19. Back on track update: I’ve been heads down rebuilding the pipeline. Then Saturday night I got pulled over for an expired registration, which is a very efficient reminder that paperwork is part of maintenance.

    Weekly blog posts are back. Streams return Jan 26. Next up: Fishing Creek (with a real title), alternator swap, and a power steering fluid flush write-up.

  37. If your weekend plans include tinkering, learning, or finally finishing that project you’ve been circling for weeks: this Field Note is my write-up on ditching Clipchamp (constant relinking + “Ready in a moment” purgatory) and moving to DaVinci Resolve (nodes, Groups, Fairlight, multi-cam, and the slow shift from confusion to competence).

  40. Happy Holidays, folks.
    Tomorrow (Fri) at 8:30 AM ET, I’m going live with American Truck Simulator and the classic 351 Peterbilt 389 dressed up in the Coca-Cola Santa livery, like a faded postcard from a cozier timeline.

  46. Clipchamp had me re-linking the same media so often it felt like I was paying a toll to work on my own project. Same folders. Same computer. Same footage. New round of “prove it” every time.

    So I switched to DaVinci Resolve which is less “drag and drop” and more “welcome to the cockpit.” I wrote up what tripped me up (nodes, Groups, Fairlight, multi-cam syncing) and the small moments where it finally started to make sense.

    Also: I’m cutting my first multi-angle / multi-camera trail video right now! Fishing Creek Revisited (working title), from an early August run at Fishing Creek Nature Preserve. It’s the first time the edit feels like what my brain wanted to make, not just footage stitched together.

  47. Cruising Louisiana has begun in American Truck Simulator. 🌙🚚🌴

    This morning’s stream knocked out the first three cities for the #CruisingLouisiana World of Trucks event:

    -Monroe
    -Baton Rouge
    -Alexandria

    We crossed raised highways over the water, wrestled with a tiny gas station that absolutely wasn’t built for a long-nose truck and 53 foot trailer, and hauled 21 tons of nitrocellulose from Baton Rouge back up to Alexandria. In between, we talked Louisiana history, books and movies set in the South, and how games like ATS make you notice geography you’d otherwise just fly over.

    If you like cozy trucking, light chaos, and nerdy side tangents, the VOD is up now:
