About

I've been climbing turbines for about seven years now, on-the-road most weeks servicing sites across the Panhandle. It's a job built on trusting a fault code over a guess, and I bring that same instinct to a rulebook or a review: if something doesn't hold up under a second look, I say so. A crew tech named Ray got me into games during a rain delay years back, a beat-up copy of Dominion in the site trailer, and it stuck.

I service wind turbines out of Amarillo, which means most weeks I'm on the road across the Texas Panhandle, climbing towers and reading fault codes off a gearbox, home for a couple days and then back out. I don't take review copies, I don't run ads, and I don't write anything up until I've actually finished it. If it's on this site, I paid for it and sat with it long enough to have something real to say.

Where I am: Amarillo, Texas

Started logging books and games in the same notebook I use for service calls, and at some point the log turned into this site.

What's here

Book reviews, board game reviews, and personal essays. No schedule, no affiliate links, nothing sponsored. I write about a book or a game after I've actually finished it and have something to say, which is why the dates on here are irregular.
