This past Sunday, I ran my second 5K (hitting a personal best, no less). Logging well over 100 miles run this year and effectively going well past a mile for every $1,000 raised all time without really intending to. The time has come to give my legs a rest
It took two years to finally get down to the running business, but the 10K went down via a quarter marathon because I didn’t realize the two were different. Oh well, bonus three-tenths of a mile or so. To “celebrate” this milestone, and for this week only, I’m

Y'all exceeded my expectations on my birthday stream, obliterating the initial $410 goal, the $500 stretch goal, and raised $767 during my birthday weekend. That resulted in six (!!!) shots of Malort on stream, bumping enemy HP in Expedition 33 to 100x for the entire year (holy crap, every
Hello Heroes! Today, I got the baseball practice schedule for my boys and it includes times that will make things rough for a 9 PM CST start. The safest move is to bump it back by 30 minutes, so I'll start at 9:30 PM CST on Tuesdays
Hey, heroes! Lots of news to cover this week on the heels of a winter storm that still has my kids out of school this morning. Please pray for Mrs. Tex as I’m writing this on a Wednesday night waiting to board a plane for work and will be
On Saturday, I fired up a stream to see if my GPU troubles were behind me. Thankfully, my new GPU, plus a couple tweaks got everything back to not crashing/lagging/blowing things up. With that major piece in place, I still have more on my list to take care
