This kid had a great time hanging out with his team out of town at the hotel for a basketball tournament. The second day of games were not pretty but they were able to pull off 3rd place and I think they were pretty excited! πŸ₯‰β›ΉοΈ

Another photo from my wife over the weekend as she was on dance duty. She was sharing backstage moments with our youngest. πŸ’ƒ

My wife captured a great photo of our oldest this weekend at dance πŸ’ƒπŸ”₯

I am looking forward to watching her perform as the season is really just getting started!

Such a beautiful day to get outside… Once you have your gear πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Running when traveling or visiting places is always fun and you can typically find an interesting trail (along the river here) and/or fun signs 😁

Day one of Basketball tournament is done for our team with 2 very close wins. So how am I spending the afternoon you ask πŸ˜†β€¦. I mean I am going to have to enter the stats at some point.

Glad the sun was out today but still a good amount of snow (with hidden ice) to trudge through. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

There is a trail right through that mound of snow. πŸ™„

At this point I wasn’t going to turn around so I had to go over it. Also, more ice out there than I anticipated as well so it was long slow miles today. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Had the sidewalks to myself today. Next time I run in a snow storm like this I am going to wear my ski goggles. Also, thankful for Yaktrax today for that hidden ice under the snow πŸŒ¨πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Good use of time?

I spent more time that I like to admit thinking about using a Read it Later service I ran across called Wallabag only to on a wim sign up for a trial subscription. However, I never got an email to log into it which was super frustrating and then I was about ready to just setup the service on my own server as that is an option. However, I wanted to trial their service and who know maybe I would have just paid for it as it wasn’t that expensive. Long story short, I realized not recieving the email was 100z5 my fault because when I moved a domain over to Porkbun I didn’t setup the email forwarding right πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. After getting that fixed, I decided to try to login to Wallabag again and see what this Read it Later service was all about.

Honestly, in the 2 min I used it and set up the Chrome Extension I had this feeling that I didn’t want it and probably would not use it anyways 😁. I think I realized again that anything I would stick in the Read it Later tool I would NEVER read later. It would just be a place of notes and I already have enough apps and tools that do that.

The closest I have come to using a Read It Later service on a more frequent basis was when I piped in RSS feeds directly to them and that was where I would just go read everything. My only issue with that was it wasn’t easy to just clear it out and declare RSS bankruptcy (which I do from time to time). Also, it came back to what would I do after I read an article do I archive it or delete it? I never went back and looked at prior saved articles and part of that is if I really wanted to remember something or retain something from what I read I would probably put it in a notes app.

So, after checking out another Read it Later service I am still back to not using a Read it Later service and I am ok with that. I did really like the name of the service though, in fact it could have been catchy… Wallabag.it

Well this is disappointing how different the Apple Watch tracked my run against my Garmin πŸ€”. I know the Garmin number is right too as I run this route pretty regularly. Even looking at the details of each I can’t tell where the Apple Watch might have gotten off.

Lots of ice today after yesterday’s 43Β°F weather. Had to watch my step out there running on the sidewalks specially.

Finished reading: Mercy (Atlee Pine Book 4) by David Baldacci πŸ“š - Lot’s of twists and turns in what I can only manage is the last of the series. However, it did do a good job of wrapping up the series and not leaving things open.

Couldn’t pass up this amazing weather today and had to get outside for a long run with my running partner. It was a short weather day at 43Β°F πŸ˜„πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Tough break for this girl and her team today. She got home and wanted to start practicing right away so fired some pucks at the tarp for a while πŸ’

Spent a lot of time at the ice rink today behind the camera taking pictures of this girl (#11) and her team. My wife found a great spot for me to stand and got the setting right so all I had to do was capture the shots πŸ˜„πŸ’πŸ“Έ

Watched King Richard tonight and I thought it was a very interesting movie. I didn’t know much about the background of Venus and Serena Williams but remembered watching them play. Would definitely recommend the movie as we watched with our 10 yo hockey player who also enjoyed it.

Poor choice of routes today had me running into the wind for most of it (28mph from WNW) πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ


Not quite sure why they cut out so many trees here. Maybe they were dead and thinning it out πŸ€”

Had to escape the house for a while today and decided to run a different route on this cold day today (-1Β°F πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ) πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Well I have never seen this before… Tank Zamboni

Why is this emoji not on my iPad but on my iPhone? Guessing it won’t show up right here either “🫣”.
