Welcome To JB’s FunStuff Site

Hi All!

Looks like it’s Nopevember… The Dark Ages are once again upon us!!

Not only is the time change starting along with the the days getting shorter than the nights, but there is also (still) ongoing blatant disrespect from family (the drama continues – details on that BS).  An incredible amount of activities that I was able to do are now on the nope list. One major side affect of this is, that I have not been out on a hike since my Yosemite Trip. My last hike was 9/18. 🙁 Good News is that Mt Diablo is coming up. Kinda concerned about my hiatus impacting my hiking abilities though. Looks like the weekly daily routine will be 5k – 10k walks/runs. Not sure how I’ll be able to train effectively for the 100 miler coming up on New Years.  *🔥Sigh 🔥*

Keep checking the Crazy Hike List to see what’s been added and scheduled (hopefully I’ll get a change to get back to this). You can also use the link in the Upcoming Stuff section below.
