Start with the basic building block of all narrative.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

Alex's new hobby… Thanks to <a href="https://www.kittyhawk.com">Kitty Hawk Kites</a> in the OBX.

I flew my stunt kite today! I bought it last week at a local kite shop in Kitty Hawk (unsurprisingly, wind-based flight is pretty big here). I've never flown a two string kite before, but I'm hooked. I only wrecked it three times 🤣.

Looking at my personal "On this day" photos, and it became apparent that on this day 2 years ago I was in Coarsegold, California, where I had got myself in a hell of a pickle, and was helped by one of the most generous people I've ever met.

Devin discovered "the mouse" today. Apparently Bennett has been showing him how to use it while playing his games on his laptop. Came out of the shower to find Devin clicking around my PC, so I redirected that curiosity into something that won't inadvertently wipe my hard drive 🙃 in the process.

OBX is a serious contender for my favorite place out east. There's a lot to love about North Carolina. Really feeling the vibe of this area.

Welp, our land offer was not good enough, apparently. we lost on terms (again). I hate this feeling so much, and it keeps happening. You spend so much time and energy just...choosing the place, only to have it ripped away by a cash buyer. I hate purchasing real-estate so, so much.

At least we're starting to see new options crop up. Maybe we'll have more luck in the future.

A look back on today in reverse ... It didn't go how we had planned. We got started late, ate late, shopped too long, and got out on the dunes as it started to rain. So we left and drove to get me a coffee and Alex a beer on a part of the island where it wasn't raining so the kids could run around a bit. When we got back to the campground we got the news that our offer for the land in Vermont was turned down in favor of another buyer... Story of our life... So we took a walk and enjoyed the ocean and the sunset. Another day goes by.

Lazy start to this Saturday. Kate and I are casually looking at some 24' (much smaller than what we are in now) rigs and thinking about what we're going to do should we be unable to buy land in Vermont. Perhaps a smaller rig and a couple years out west?

Even with how windy it is outside, the camper is not rocking at all. Slide supports and a tripod are seriously game changers.
