I build technology products, volunteer as a National Forest ranger, and am a typical Bend, Oregon resident: an outdoor sports generalist who has two dogs.

@uuilly @lindaholmes He’s 9 years old now and it’s still my favorite picture of him. Same smile.

Yep leaning into the one dog photo a day. I call this sleeping position Barley Bagel even though the wrinkles lean more towards croissant.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

Oh hey Twitter is still here. Maybe I’ll post one dog photo a day until we fade into oblivion. If this account’s only legacy after 20k+ tweets from the early days is just dog photos I won’t even be mad.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@rscottjones Wow! I so rarely tweet these days but still scroll through my feed regularly. Lots of good folks and communities discovered here.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

Like the musicians on the titanic, if twitter is going down tonight I will serenade you with photos of my dogs.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

Also my birthday. I'm going to celebrate with pie.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@MikeOffTheMap @AlaskaJill Same. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted and have never (knowingly) had COVID. But I did have a 2-3 day nasty flu-like thing the first week of March 2020.

@publiclandlvr @VisitBendOR @10BarrelBrewing @DeschutesBeer But finally, there is the Aina food truck at @bevelbeer that together make up probably my favorite food/beer combo in Bend: a good ipa and a crunchy poke bowl.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@publiclandlvr @VisitBendOR @10BarrelBrewing There is always the original @DeschutesBeer Bond street pub for a classic brewpub experience. Bonus that it is downtown and you can check out other places too. 2/3

@100peaks @katieboue truth. My healthiest cilantro plant is currently growing from the middle of my greenhouse floor from a dropped seed. The plants that are in good soil and carefully watered on a drip line are meh.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@lwaldal Ooh yikes except I just saw the price. I think they were $9.99 before. Anyways, something like this worked really well when I was in a cast for way too long during the summer.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@lwaldal I ended up finding them at Amazon. I might buy more now that I looked up the link again. 😆 https://t.co/7iBgZHJkDm

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@lwaldal Also I *still* live in the wide legged capri length pants I got at Costco when I was in a cast. Perfect summer work from home cozies.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@lwaldal Sounds so similar to my experience when I dislocated my ankle a couple of years ago, except I was lucky (???) enough to do it pre-COVID. Especially the nerve block part and getting med equipment on Amazon (still loaning out my pink knee scooter). Take care of yourself & kill PT!

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@techlorax Tsa pre is so pointless at RDM but it sure helps everywhere else.

[R. Sowards-Emmerd @calipidder]

@vendorprisey @johncutlefish 🤯 yes! Love the disapprove concept. Working on enterprise approval stuff now. Customers: “we want our managers to be able to approve stuff really quick. But also not too easy because can’t rubber stamp that stuff so make it kind of hard too. But just for the 5% that matter.”
