📸 Photoblogging: Day 2 - Finally some sun after the interesting weather we have been getting of rain / sleet / snow. Now if more of the ice on sidewalks on these sunny days could melt that would be great.

Wasn’t many tracks out there today after the snowfall this morning. I did try to find my way paths that were more plowed at one point to avoid ice chunks under the snow. I crossed a path looking out to the conservation area and can’t wait to get back in there.

📸 Photoblogging - Day 1 - These have been essential this season in keeping me feel secure on some very icy runs.

Realized I had some posts sitting in Ulysses that I crafted while on vacation with limited internet. Once we got reception I forgot to post them so I am going to be doing some cleanup. Hopefully nothing gets disrupted as I backdate a couple posts like this -> First time running along a beach.

Exploring a new area tonight and was unfortunately surprised with a lot of hills. I was not really ready for all that up hill climbing. I almost debated making my own shortcut up this wall..

Kid had late basketball practice tonight and I realized right before I left I didn’t have any coffee for tomorrow. Nothing a quick run couldn’t solve through the ice, slush and snow. Coffee problem solved!

Another beautiful morning run along the river in Rochester before back to back basketball games. The weather said it was 23°F but felt much warmer in the sun.

Hope no one has an emergency…

Long break in between basketball games today and the sun was out so I took advantage of the nice paths by the river in Rochester. Wish I wouldn’t have eaten so much for lunch but oh well.

This was an overly filing lunch of Sweet Asian Zing Chicken and Waffles from Birdies at the Workshop Food Hall.. However so good 😋

Found some plowed sidewalks and some not so plowed like this one today on my run. Since I was pressed for time today it just added to the work out trudging through this deep snow. 🏃‍♂️

Still tinkering with Obsidian and I got to thinking of searching for a plugin that can post to Micro.blog directy and well… Here is a plugin that does that. Even though this is my first post from it lets see how it handles a picture link as well.

Do I hike to the shed or not? 🤷‍♂️

The snow might not be as bad as people thought but running through it was a fun little challenge tonight. Also, probably shouldn’t have done it 20 min after eating dinner 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🌨️

Well this is going to get interesting real quick… For context our surrounding schools have already moved to eLearning for the next two days 😳😱😑

Currently not snowing

Watching the kids bake cookies while one was blindfolded, one was deaf (noise canceling headphones in with music cranked) and one couldn’t talk was slightly entertaining. They completed the task but I think the team building skills need improved.

Hockey Weekend - Second Place Champs! 🏒

These girls work hard this weekend only allowing 1 goal in for 4 games and to get beat in the Championships to the number 1 team in the state in shootouts. Second place should not be lost on them and they should be proud! It was such a fun hockey weekend and I was glad my wife and I could snap a couple photos of the team as well as our daughter. My favorite is the picture of her smiling at me during that final game before a faceoff I will cherish.

I am always going to tell myself she is smiling at me

Seems like she is saying something here..

Great job!

2nd Place Champs

🎬Family Movie: Dog Gone - Really good family movie about well.. a dog!

So fun that a lot of extended family were in town this past weekend and we could meet up together. Not to mention watch our now kids play hockey a lot of hockey (25 games out of the family)! 🏒

Busy middle of the day today with hockey so I had to force myself to get up early today or this run would most likely have never happened. Weather was good and I was feeling good but still worried about icy patches out there.

Great day of hockey yesterday but the late game really threw a wrench into my evening’s with an unexpected expense before todays Championship Sunday. 💸🏒
