Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Video challenge: April 2026 (Outdoor adventure)

April 29, 2026

Cranking them out now!

So I stretched this month’s an extra day because, well, today is Harper’s fifth birthday. I had taken off from work and had plans to go on an adventure with Harper and a friend.

And a great day it was.

As I write this post, Harper is out cold on the floor and I’m guessing she will sleep well tonight.

Me, too, most likely!

One thing about this video. Though I don’t do a lot with AI – I do like the ability to create music. And this is one I did tonight. Though it could be better, I love the sound, beat, and lyrics. I’ll learn how to really craft these eventually. Hope you like it!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, link below! Hopefully as the challenge continues, some others will take part!

Anyway, here is my video submission. I will leave the linkup open for like a month.

Theme for May: A day in the life

For those who might be joining — the challenge is set up to have videos be 1-3 minutes long (ish), and follow the monthly announced theme. Do a blog post — or even a youtube post, and come back and link up here. I try and post the link up on the 28th of each month. Any other questions about the challenge, let me know!

If you took part, link up!

Video challenge: March 2026 (Your story)

April 27, 2026

Ooooof.

This is late. And it was late because of my voice and this crud going around.

Mind you, I still have some part of it.

Weeks later.

Ugh.

Anyway, here is my video submission. I will leave the linkup open for like a month. April’s post will be coming hopefully this week!

Theme for April: Outdoor Adventure

Any other questions about the challenge, let me know!

If you took part, I have a linkup below, too.

Photo Blogging Challenge (March 2026): Make your month full of fun

April 5, 2026

I’m glad I had fun at the beginning of the month as the end has not been pleasant.

Time flies when you are having fun, right?

So before I continue with this late post, a couple of updates. I put the themes a day or two ago for this one at the video one in the Facebook group. I have the video almost ready — but I need to do the voiceover. Today I finally feel like I could get through it without hacking, so I’m hoping in the next day or two to have it finished and the linkup posted. Then maybe for April, we’ll get on track.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is PBC2.jpg

I might have to make sure that April’s video challenge, for me, doesn’t need that voiceover!

OK, let’s get back to this month’s version of the PBC!

Did you have fun this month? I hope so!

Though I can’t say my month was totally full of fun, I did have some enjoyable times. One thing that happened was getting my 10,000th find with geocaching! That came on a trip where a couple of us polished off the Delaware DeLorme challenge, as well as the oldest cache in the state and the state’s county challenge.

That was a fun weekend away, that’s for sure.

So how about you? Was it a month of fun? Or at least some fun adventures!

If you participated this month, share your link down below. Here’s my five for the month!

1. Me and Harper

There will be a few selfies in this month’s post. And there will be Harper. Add it all together and it’s fun. This is me and Harper during a hikes on the Delaware trip.

2.Fun!

Think she was having fun?

3. 10,000!

My 10,000th geocacaching find was Delaware’s oldest. A cool way to celebrate this milestone. It was also a nice hike out and back for this one.

4. Sunrise

Seeing a wonderful sunrise over the ocean is always fun. But there’s a total enjoyment in watching Harper just sit and stare at the ocean and sunrise as well.

5. Doggie ice cream

Ice cream is always fun. Especially when it is at a dog ice cream place!

BONUS

I didn’t take this one, but here’s me and Harper at my 10,000th find!


There’s my five for the month! Let’s see what you came up with! If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.

And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).

Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too! NOTE: We have a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully ithere.

** CHALLENGE CHANGE **

From this point forward, I am going to do the next theme at the bottom of each linkup. Also, the posting date will now be the first of each month, thus giving you the entire month to take the photos etc.

That means it’s a one-stop shop! Hopefully this helps out with everybody.

So, below is the linkup for February. Make sure you drop your link there.

OK, so it’s time to keep on moving! And our theme for the month? Make your month yours. Have some fun! Remember to come back on (hopefully) May 1 to link up and check out the theme for that month! I’ve set a calendar reminder for me, so let’s see if that works!

Photo Blogging Challenge (February 2026): Make your month loving

March 2, 2026

Two months down.

Time flies when you are having fun, right?

This month was interesting. I’ve done a lot for my own self care and realized I didn’t take a ton of photos, but I did take ones that fit this theme. And yes, I am sure you know what several of these photos include.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is PBC2.jpg

The winter is still going, though. And it’s been tough. Warmer days seem to be coming. Work has also been a bit stressful. But we’re getting there. I can’t complain overall.

So, this was the month of love. February covers that, right?

Did you find something to make the month loving?

As a reminder, each of our monthly challenges for 2026 will have something to do with making your month something or other.

So how did you make your month loving?

If you participated this month, share your link down below. Here’s my five for the month!

1. Selfie

It’s crazy to think how much I used to be fully against selfies. I take a lot more with Harper. And well, this is a month of loving!

2. Boops for love?

Who wouldn’t boop this nose? Also, this was taken on Valentine’s Day.

3. Breakfast with mom

I took my mother to breakfast earlier in February. The one place we go has massive mugs for tea. I liked this photo in black and white.

4. Dog pals

So much love when the dog friends get together!

5. One more selfie

Harper and I, once again!

There’s my five for the month! Let’s see what you came up with! If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.

And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).

Video challenge: February (Potpourri)

March 1, 2026

OK, so this will be a shorter post because, well, it’s supposed to be a video.

We are trying a monthly video challenge. It doesn’t have to be crazy and I think for the first few months, we’ll have some simple themes and then see how it goes.

This month was potpourri, so basically whatever one wants. Mine was based on winter walking with Harper. I shot all via the phone, and did it in a vertical mode. I tend to like horizontal better, so we’ll see what we do from here.

I’ll try and do a logo for this challenge, but it’s really kind of just out there for now. I’m going to try and do more video and you can probably guess that Harper will be my main subject.

For the challenge, videos are to be between 1 and 3 minutes. You can talk, or use music, or let the normal sounds hold it. I am trying to get all of the themes announced for the rest of the year so people can work on them as they want. The post will (hopefully) be on the 28th of each month.

YouTube made this a short, and linking it here is kind of weird. You can click on it to view it on YouTube as well.

Theme for March: Your Story

Any other questions about the challenge, let me know!

If you took part, I have a linkup below, too.

Self care is important. With work as stressful as Self care is important. With work as stressful as it usually is during this month, the little things can help you relax. I went this morning for a beard trim. It’s only 30-40 minutes, but it’s nice to have it done. A nice shaping, thinning it out a bit, a hot towel and a straight razor. 

Nice. 

In the world in which we live, little things like this can really be good for you. Maybe it’s a massage. Maybe it’s a therapy session. Maybe it’s a trip to the barber shop. But take care of yourself. It’s important. 

And if you are in my area and need a trim or whatever — check out Chris (@studio11chris ) at @studio11barbersuite in Oneonta. Well worth it!

Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but a Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but also a nice walk on the Vestal Rail Trail. Harper loved it, of course, especially because she got to also walk with her "Gram!"
