Stormy day across South Iceland

The weather report was not good for today, but we had to get over to our next hotel, down the south coast, so headed off after another good breakfast spread. We stopped at Seljalandsfoss, where we walked behind the waterfall & saw several others further along the cliffs. It was raining & win…

Golden Circle and Snowmobiling!

After a delicious breakfast spread at the guesthouse, we headed off to finish the golden circle. Our first stop was Kerið Crater, a collapsed volcanic crater that now has a small lake in the center. We circled the top of the crater & drove north to Geysir, where there are a number of hot springs…

New wipers for the Duster

We started the day with coffee & pastries from a local bakery before trying to locate replacement windshield wipers for the car. The mechanic in Stykkishólmur advised that ours used a new style that would be unlikely to be found outside of the Dacia dealership, back in Reykjavik. 

We detoured back to Reykjavik, obtained new wipers, and then continued our trip to begin the Golden Circle with a visit to Þingvellir National Park. 

This is where the original parliament of Iceland formed back in 930. And also where the tectonic plates are pulling apart, separating the Eurasian plate from the North American.  We walked through the park, seeing early Icelandic cultural sites & enjoying the natural beauty.  We spent the next 2 nights at Lambastadir Guesthouse, on a small farm outside of Selfoss.  We had a wonderful dinner (seafood pizza for me, lamb for Donny) & relaxed in the hot tub before heading to bed. 

Snæfellsness Peninsula

We started the day with coffee & pastries from Reykjavik Roasters & pastries for the road from Brauð & Co., which were delicious, then headed north to the Snæfellsness Peninsula. Scenery was beautify as we drove – snow topped mountains to one side and water to the other, more moss covere…

Arrival in Iceland

We landed and cleared customs/immigration in time to see the sunrise as we took the shuttle to the car rental depot. We got a Dacia Duster rental from Lava, got all loaded in & headed over to the blue lagoon after a brief stop for coffee and pastries at a local bakery. Iceland scenery is so diff…

Hobbies Updated

I've started uploading some photos to the Hobbies section. So far just the Game of Throne set I shot from my drone in Belfast. Also changed to a more simple theme for the page, but not sure how I like it. The layout is fine, but I'm struggling to get the menus at the top to cooperate how I'd prefer. 

Screenshots Updated

Gaming - Added screenshots of my Mass Effect Legendary Edition playthrough. All 3 games are included, and the images are available for download in ultrawide resolution. 

Screenshots/Wallpapers didn't quite fit the menu, so I changed it to just say 'Wallpapers'.  I'm trying to figure out how to edit the code for the menu so it's static. Meaning you don't have to click on an section to expand it. 

Added Content!

Finally got some content added to the page. 

Automotive, I added a Track Days section. So far the only one I have added is the most recent, which was Barber on 8-1-2021.

Under Projects, I have added two of our big ones. The kitchen remodel, and the downstairs bathroom remodel. I'll continue updating as I have more time. 

Getting there

I'm working on getting content added. It's a slow going process as I've not been very good at keeping all my stuff organized over the years. Locating stuff that I want to get added to the site is a combination of digging through old phone photos, Facebook posts, and around my computer. It'll take some time, but I'll eventually get this page to where I want it. In the meantime, sit back and relax. 

This is yet another dang test

Continuing with the testing thing cause I just don't remember anything about Wordpress. It's supposed to be easier now, yet somehow it is complicated.
