  • Porclog day 6 (last day)

    Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. – Semisonic (Note: I am posting this on Monday at home since (a) the porcfest wifi completely crapped out for me on Saturday and I was driving for 16 hours yesterday to get home.  So all references to yesterday and today should be mentally adjusted to…

  • Porclog day 4 (and 5)

    Combined day post today. Things are starting to get busy and the wifi is starting to suck. Two highlights from yesterday. First, I got the change to shake hands and talk with Stephan Kinsella. I listened to Stephan’s podcast a lot when I was first discovering the liberty movement. He’s solid on the evils of…

  • Porclog day 3

    Porcfest is starting to pick up some steam.  The “population” seems to have doubled in the last 24 hours.  In addition to new campers (and hotelers I suppose) there are also a few new vendors.  I must admit that I am frequenting them a bit less than last year.  I think I might have this…

  • Porclog day 2

    Glad that’s over. The annual porcfest deluge that is. Rain was in the forecast, but the weather guessers missed big time on the frequency and duration. The few campsites that were swamps are now many. Fortunately we were left out of that group. Other than the weather, it was a great first full day at…

  • Porclog day 1

    Safely arrived at Porcfest yesterday around noon yesterday.  Setting the over night at Albany was a much better idea than Utica.  Having an actual reservation at an actual hotel was an even better idea. After a little later start that I planned (blocked in by a delivery truck at the hotel), the drive up to…

    The Indiegogo campaign for the local restaurant I have been working with launched today.  Its am ambitious goal, but achievable with your help.  If you believe in local business and/or want to support locally source food / farmers then take a look and buy in.  If you want to support us but are light on…

  • Could be the start of something cool

    I bought a domain name last night. The confluence of working to help get a local restaurant open, watching the movie Chef, and seeing all the food trucks at Bunbury has triggered my entrepreneurial bug. Hopefully more soon.

  • A father's day on the road

    Spent father’s day on the road, driving through Ohio, Pensylvania, and New York which was a massive amount of suck. The bright side is my two great kids came along with me so to make up for a suckish Father’s day, I get a whole week camping in New Hampshire with the closest thing I’ve…

  • Heading North

    Tomorrow is packing day.   Sunday is driving day.  And Monday – Saturday are all chill days.  I’m heading back for the second year to the Porcupine Freedom Festival in New Hampshire which has been put on the last decade+ the Free State Project.  I went last year on a lark and as one, rather famous…
