This journal is less about having everything figured out and more about keeping the work—and the good parts—visible.
Been there, done that
Every highlighted state holds a completed adventure, a memory, or a story worth keeping.

Venom crouching statue
That giant red tongue and the white spider emblem make this Venom statue look completely feral. I may have a slight obsession with Venom, but honestly, this creepy crouching bastard fits right in.
A new adventure is on the calendar. I’ll share the details after it happens.
Path to Glory Knight Statue
Created in 1985, this detailed pewter sculpture shows a medieval knight charging into a joust on horseback, complete with lance, shield, armor, and a dramatic sculpted base. Its bold movement and intricate medieval details make it a standout piece to keep in the Cool Stuff Collection.
1983 Masters of the Universe puzzle
Somebody went back and time and completed their childhood puzzle tonight.. oh nostalgia
I learned today that Garden Salsa SunChips taste like tomato and jalapeño... who would have guessed? It’s a small, oddly satisfying discovery that made me smile.
1983 Masters of the Universe puzzle
I found a vintage 1983 Masters of the Universe puzzle and couldn't resist sharing it. The artwork is too cool not to share, so I'm adding it to my Cool Stuff Collection.
I started by measuring the poster and the available wall space so I could pick an appropriately sized frame. Once I had the dimensions, I chose a frame and window material and bought a cheap frame from Walmart that still looks pretty good. Measuring first made the rest of the process straightforward and kept the frame choice from feeling like a guess.
Putting the poster into the frame was easy enough; it slid in and sat flat once I had the backing secured. For the hanging hardware I located studs with a stud finder, marked the spot, and installed a screw to carry the frame. With the screw in place the frame hung securely, and I completed a final security and maintenance check to make sure everything was steady on the wall.
Rabbids Alive and Kicking (Xbox 360)
I've added Rabbids Alive and Kicking for Xbox 360 to my collection.
I've been running on very little sleep this past week. It's been a lot of fun, but I'm oh so tired 😩. I'm glad for the good times, though I hope I can catch up on sleep soon.
Spiderman puzzle
I bought a Spiderman puzzle from Walmart and plan to complete and frame it.
I'm thinking about how real smiles are awesome.
I checked off Gondola ride to see Mount Rainier in Crystal Mountain Resort, Enumclaw / Mount Rainier area, Washington on July 10, 2026. Took a ride on the gondola at Crystal mountain and ate at the summit restaurant it was ok but the power went out while we were there stranding us for a bit but was restored pretty quickly. The views were awesome but mount Rainier was obscured by cloud cover. You could still see the snow on the top I can't imagine how beautiful it is in the winter. I say a squirrel that I thought was a chipmunk fat thing was obviously used to people. Me and ana had a good time. I wanna go snow skiing up there one day. Not that I can snow ski lol.
Several pictures from the gondola ride :) it was pretty cold up there. Very pretty though and Ride gondola at Crystal mountain to see Mount Rainier and ear at the restaurant on top.

Always Forward is a public journal of doing the things worth remembering: taking the trip, building the habit, trying the drink, learning the lesson, and saving enough of the story to find it again.
