Had to go pickup the van from an oil change today so the only logical way was to run there. I should probably avoid this tunnel but I didn’t want to cross the major road so just ran fast.
Making fresh tracks while the snow was falling today on my run. Don’t get me wrong when I was on the sidewalks I was a little nervous about slipping but I didn’t slip or fall only scare was a dog that lunged at me on his leash and snagged my running pants. 🙄
I need to sync up some passwords on all of my devices again as I am currently unsure what my password is on an older Macbook Air as I have had to change all my other ones 🤦♂️
Rounding off the weekend activities with the oldest playing some Swag Ball 🏀
Saturday night means Swim meet for the youngest.. Let’s go! 🏊♀️
I don’t know if I trust that ice on the lake yet… That is ok I will continue my run around it. Not to bad out, still feeling good but it is just January and not overly cold today.
Friday night… Hockey night of course. Let’s go Eagles 🦅 🏒
Seems to be some issues with my cable modem and I need to go reboot it. However, that is all the way back in the house so for now I am just going to use my T-mobile backup that we decided to bring home from the camper for the winter… Problem solved 😆
Starting off 2024… Such a great comic from KevinComics.com
Enjoyed a cup of coffee in this new mug this morning while I caught up on things avoiding work 🫣…. ☕️
Avoided this icy tunnel I ran by today. I was glad to get the millage I was shooting for with my limited time and felt good out there even at the speed I was going. Still early in the year but maybe a good sign.
Time to start off 2024, no plans yet but need to get my running fitness back up after my time off and feeling under the weather. This run felt good till after as I need this cough to go away. Slow and steady…
Over a year ago I got the brainy idea to host my image uploads on another site I have and just link them in M.b. Decided to fix that and put them all in M.b. I think longer term it just makes sense to have it in one spot. Not sure if anyone else does something different but would be curious.
It seems especially dark in the “office” today even with all the windows open and my normal small light on. I might have to turn the top lights on before this next meeting as I fear people might think I am sitting in the dark. Maybe it is just extra dark due to working a full day today 😆.
It felt good to get out there yesterday but I could tell about mid way through the end of this run I am still not 100% from whatever I picked up. Maybe I will have to continue to ease out of 2023 and into 2024.
I decided to jump on the bandwagon and create some of my own figurine 😏 🏃♂️
With being sick before Christmas (not still at 100% but getting there), Christmas Day, limited kid activities (only hockey), and me having work off till January 2nd, I really have no idea what day it is unless I look at my watch.
🎬 Family Movie Night: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - Enjoyed the movie took me a while to tie this movie into the others. My youngest that hadn’t seen the others was fine and then the others I think were struggling as well to figure out the connection as it has been a while.
Backyard Rink Update: December 27
Such a strange winter this has been… I should step back to say that originally I was kind of on the fence if I didn’t want to do a hockey rink this year just because I felt it was not used as much as I would have liked to have seen it last year. However, on a whim and looking at weather forecasts in November I quickly decided to put the boards up and then order a tarp from a new company. Then the weather started to get warm and I waited…. and waited… Like I have done since learning that valuable lesson in my earlier years. However, fast forward to today and it is December 27th and the weather may maybe getting close to the right conditions as you can see from my chart below but I am asking myself a very important question. Am I going to finish building the rink for the 2023-2024 Season?
Such a hard questions as I have a streak going of 9 years and not to mention a good handful of the work is already done with the boards up.
I guess I always do say never say never so who knows maybe in the last moment I will change my mind but I don’t think so as of right now. I don’t take it lightly though breaking a good streak right before a round number but this winter is not what I would have expected and once January 2nd hits everyone will be busy again as normally between Christmas and New Year is when we use the rink the most. Hopefully, looking forward to the 2024-2025 season as I will still have the tarp now and should be ready to go. Guess I will have to (unless I change my mind) since everything is purchased and only labor is needed.
I have now twice in the last almost month been down for the count for over 24hrs. I am hoping to not make this a tradition in 2024 🤦♂️. Sad I missed out on all the Christmas Eve activities with my family but glad to be better somewhat today to enjoy. Thanks to my wife as always to make sure the magic continued as I was down for the count. 🎄🎅
