TIME FOR A CHANGE

I know it’s been a bit quiet here at Imaginegnat blog. I’ve had a lot going on. Family. Fun. Travel. Riding. Writing. New job. It’s also a time for a change. But before I get to that, let me share a little story. I once had a manager that told me that he had never […]

FLEX YOUR HUSTLE

I’ve had a lot of incredible stuff going on in my life. I feel lucky. The past few years have been an incredible journey. In July it will be 3 years since I left my lifelong career to redefine my future. Those 3 years have been truly incredible but I have yet to define the […]

THE PATH IS A BIT HAZY

It seems that my writing and posting has been not as frequent of late. I’d say that is true and likely a reflection of the internal battle I have having with myself. I need to write this stuff down to get it out and move forward.

GOAL ACHIEVED!

After years away from the multi day bike packing tour, I’m happy to say I checked that one off recently with a ride through the Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota. I guess it’s time to set a new goal!

GRATITUDE

I just got home from a multi day, bike packing trip through the Black Hills. It was an incredible journey that started in Wyoming and ended in Edgemont, SD. The story of that journey will come soon. Today, I simply want to talk about gratitude and re filling your proverbial cup.

COME RIDE THE HEYWOOD

PUSHING FORWARD

Wow, what a month it has been. It’s been filled with many miles, both in the saddle and behind the wheel. All this time has been fruitful in strengthening my mindset. Today, I’d like to dig into a few of those ideas and thoughts as well as share a few pictures.

NYC PHOTOGRAPHY & FUJIFILM X10 REVIEW

Just before leaving for New York City on a get away with my wife, my 10+ year old Fujifilm X Pro 1 finally kicked the bucket. So…I pulled another digital relic from the shelf, my Fujifilm X10. I wanted something light, un assuming, and fun. How’d this old, compact camera perform? Read on to find out!

NEW YORK – US – PART 1

As Jen and I near our 25 year anniversary (July 2024), we decided that we’d take every opportunity we could to celebrate. Consider this quick trip to New York anniversary celebration number 1! I don’t know exactly when we started talking about planning experiences and then planning trips around them, but as Christmas approached we […]

MID SOUTH 2024 – SEEING PROGRESS

I am back from Mid South 2024. Had a blast. Saw some great people. Listened to some good music. Ate some great food. Rode my bike a ways. I am thankful I accomplished what I set out to do.

WEIRD WINTER. BIG CHANGES.

I’ve been a bit quiet both here on my Imaginegnat Journal as well as over on social media. It has not been intentional. Yet, as I look back I can’t help but look back and feel like it’s all playing out as it should and showing me a way forward regarding how and why I use various digital outlets and channels.

IS THIS WINTER?

Long bike rides in MN in February. You betcha! Also tried out a new to me, used camera set up and a $59 fixed lens that I am completely smitten with. Check it out here!
