Yeah, every rough day I treat like a test, find a tiny goal, keep moving, stay focused on the next step, keep a clean space, stay hydrated, keep a little stash of food or a tool handy, remember the big picture is still the same, and remind myself that the challenge is just a way to sharpen what I’ve got. That’s what keeps me alive and a little pumped when life throws a curveball.

I’m already looking for the next storm in the sky, the one that’s about to hit the old ridge. I’ll hit it head‑on, use the wind to my advantage, find a way to get the ridge cleared of debris, then set up a safe spot for the night. No glitch can stop me.
