I know my part has been minimal in this puppy fostering adventure but she is really a good dog. I am enjoying the distractions during my busy days as it sometimes brings on walks with the family. πΆ

Enjoyed the view tonight as I ran across the small boardwalks. I probably shouldnβt have run through all the wooded areas as the last half of my run it dark out and I didnβt have lights. π€·ββοΈ Glad the legs werenβt too beat up from yesterday.

A tail of two bridges over the Minnesota River Valley and old brewery remains that ended in the dark. Glad to get this run done with out feeling too horrible as normally this one millage is bad luck.


Finally a really nice night to just sit outside. I just wish we would have gotten here earlier so I would have a fire too. Hopefully, tomorrow π€

While my son was at a basketball practice I took the down time to lace up the shoes and explore the area. Found this awesome boardwalk in Bloomington and then some other mulch trails as well.

Made another crack tonight exploring the trails around Braemar. Wonder how long this trail has been under construction. I will be sure to make it back this way to check π
Finished reading: Holy Chow by David Rosenfelt π - Was kind of predictable after a while but I still really enjoy the Andy Carpenter series.
I guess I will say the recovery run went well but the heat got to me. Interesting that since May this section of trail has still not been fixed…

Another task partially completed in the long Project Shed list. Finally connected the hard wire to the house. Currently using an old router for the shed till I test out if the new mesh satellite will work. Next I should do something with the wires acrosss the shed floor π

Micro Monday - 116 @micromonday
Thanks again Jean McDonald (@Jean) for letting me join Micro Monday and chat with you about running and backyard rinks. πββοΈπ
We are fostering this little puppy for a whileβ¦ I am taking the morning shift so my wife and oldest daughter can sleep as I think it was up all night. Seems like I have it easy so far ππΆ

Did some exploring in Edina again and found they opened a trail I had been hoping would be completed. Also, found some really cool bridges at another park.

π¬ Family Movie night (take two)β¦ Luck

I think it was from youngest to oldest child on how much they liked it. Another good movie which I will say had some good points to take away π
π¬ Family Movie nightβ¦ Minions: The Rise of Gru

The kids have been wanting to watch this for a while so since it was raining it seemed like a good time to rent it and stay home.
Hemispheric Views Podcast - It's a Bracket
This is long overdue but I really did enjoy my time on the Hemispheric Views podcast that was published last week titled It’s a Bracket!.
I actually found some time to listen to it and it is amazing the various topics we touched on even though I was there to talk about Arcadia π. I really had a great time chatting in person with Jason Burk (@burk), Martin Feld (@martinfeld), and Andrew Canion (@canion) and I want to thank each of them again for allowing me to participate. The rest of the episode after my brief appearance is great to as they continue to cover other interesting topics.
So for any of you looking for a great podcast to listen to you should go check it out on your podcast player of choice or just go to their website. Don’t base the whole show on but being biased I thought it was good!
When will the meetings end todayβ¦. Time try this drink out β οΈ π

Just rambling around this morning to clear the head. The breeze was nice but I knew better with such high humidity and due point. ππ»ββοΈ

Had limited time after dropping one girl off and waiting to bring the other one home from dance. Probably good as I really wasnβt feeling it today. ππ»ββοΈ

Thatβs a wrap on our 2022 Main vacation! Time to head homeβ¦ βοΈ
