Just like that operation “shed” project is full steam ahead as the electricians are at work. Now that means I have work to do this weekend 😬.
WebEx calls using my phone this morning led me to this Windows app in order to assign a hotkey for muting -> MicSwitch. I probably need to revisit my headphone setup now too 🤦♂️
Health / Fitness Tracking
Back when I was a long time Fitbit user, I used to have a scale from them as well so all of my fitness information was in once place. In fact, from time to time I would keep track of foods I ate in the Fitbit app as well and it worked pretty well overall.
However, as time has passed I got frustrated with Fitbit and it’s lack of durability from my point of view and move to a Garmin. I still used my Fitbit scale until it broke not long after but also my wife had bought one of those Shapa scales that was about the worst type of scale out there. Sorry, I am sure it works for some people but for me I could care less what color I had I just wanted to know my actual weight in lbs 😆. I did figure out how I could get a number by having the information shared with Google Fit and then I could just manually put it into my Garmin Connect app. I hate to say I did that for longer than I would like to have admitted before I got tired of doing the manual part and just donated the scale as no one else was using the piece of garbage anyways.
That brings me to today as I would like to keep track of my weight again as well as try to track my calorie intake. I am trying to figure out the best route to take here and am open to suggestions. Ideally, I would like a single app that could pull all of this information together as a one stop shop. I know I could buy a normal scale and enter the information manually but for me I want to set a routine of standing on the scale and not make notes to myself to record it in a system. I just want it to be automatic! Kind of like the Fitbit did for me before but since I don’t have a Fitbit watch that seems kind of silly for that and I have found nothing plays super nice with Garmin Connect. Ideally, it would be something that can send data to or pull information from Garmin Connect or Apple Health.
Any suggestions send them my way please!
Decided to run while the dog was getting groomed. Found a new trail with an amazing view of Anderson Lake. It was a smaller than normal paved trail with no one on it around an office building. Probably shouldn’t have blown past those No Trespassing Private Property signs 😜
Early mornings (if not running or after a run) are just made for coffee… Today is one of those days as I am already working. More coffee please and keep it coming! ☕
Run, Vote, Run! Decided to make a quick stop halfway through my run today to vote 😄
Apple Pencil 2 is Found again
I really can’t believe that I found my Apple Pencil late yesterday. As I kept thinking about it I was trying to remember what was around me at the table where I was working the day before. The problem is everything had gotten moved around as well as the kids dumped all of their Halloween candy out to sort through so I had to think about what was there the day before. I looked all over the floor and around the area thinking maybe it rolled off or got attached to the metal under the table or on the chairs. Also, we have a new coffee bar that has metal doors on it so I thought maybe it attached itself to that. Finally, while looking at that I saw the new black metal baskets my wife bought for us and I remembered how my daughter got some white ones as well. So I walked back to her room and sure enough as you can see it attached itself to the metal white basket that she showed me before she moved it back to her room. I am still surprised that I found it.
The first of what I am assuming will not be the last but I have misplaced my apple pencil. I feel like they need to come out with a newer version of the Apple Pencil that has the tracking functionality as the AirTags do.

It’s exhausting work being a doodle during the day while everyone is working or at school. 🐶
Finally, I either figured out how to get the custom Cloud Icon bar (for quicker publishing) to show up in Drummer, or I missed it from the beginning because on my laptop it is almost hidden at the bottom of the screen 🤔🤦♂️.
