Welcome To JB’s FunStuff Site

Hi All!

Mid Summer and we’re cookin’ now!!!

Days are getting shorter but still plenty of time in the day to go the distance! The trick is how to juggle the big stuff in life with the big fun. Life can create challenges in both 🧐. My current challenge is finding out if the things that are in place will have to be put on pause due to an uncertain family situation. However, I do plan to maximize any opportunity that allows for what’s in place to happen. Things are on a week to week basis and hoping for the best! Unfortunately developments are that since there has been a disconnect in general consideration for my personal commitments from some family individuals, I to miss run-de-vus 100k and x-cat 50 mile events. It’s extremely unfortunate that I missed  run-de-vus since it may not happen again. x-cat will also have to be done in 2026. <flame on> The missed events are noted as 😠.  That emoticon designates an extreme amount of disappointment and has left me educated on how I was de-prioritized  and to expect undependable behavior at the very least. </flame>
