Things need to slow down so we can enjoy the holidays, my body is running on fumes and candy at this point. Yesterday was below freezing and I was outside trying to pull up fence poles, then went inside to work on the house and it seemed like nothing I did worked. Often I talkContinue reading “20 Decemeber 2023”

It’s the first of December and Christmas decorations are up, there wasn’t as much as I thought, I was able to carry the box of decorations on my own. We’ve been getting real trees the last couple years since there’s a nice market down the street that sells trees, it’s nice that we don’t haveContinue reading “1 December 2023”

I’ve probably slept more in the last couple days than I have in months, it astonishes me that the body can work in such a way that there is some sort of reserve energy which isn’t calorie based that I can pull from. Hopefully things go well today with daycare and I can continue catchingContinue reading “28 November 2023”

That was an exhausting weekend, everything went well, I just need some rest. The baby starts daycare tomorrow, that will be my chance, so I only need to make it one day and a wake up. There’s so much to process it will take me at least a couple days, but my wife invited ourContinue reading “27 November 2023”

With having a Thanksgiving dinner last weekend and another one tomorrow it has felt like a week of Thanksgiving. There’s a common joke that the Christmas season begins the day after Halloween, the joke used to be that it started the day after Thanksgiving, but Black Friday sales have crept forward to the entire monthContinue reading “22 November 2023”

Someone said I was living the dream, while I understand the sentiment, anyone can choose my path. My strategy has been to find something no one wants and refine that waste into a valuable resource. People suffer from one of two pains, either the pain of work or the pain of regret. When I wasContinue reading “8 November 2023”

Last Friday I succeeded in my 200 lbs bench press and it felt like I still had fuel in the tank. I’m technically the strongest I’ve ever been and getting stronger. There are two big reasons for my weight lifting gains. Specifically effecting the bench press was that I improved my technique. In preparation forContinue reading “7 November 2023”

The cold is brutal, completely sucks the life out of you. What I like about living in a rural area is living with the season. I dread Winter every year because it’s historically the hardest time of the year. If we didn’t want to celebrate birth days, counting the number of Winters a person hasContinue reading “2 November 2023”

There was a freeze warning this morning, the temperature dropped around 40 degrees F in the last two days. My crops seem to be ok though I haven’t had time for a thorough investigation. We had some minimal halloween activities, only taking the baby to the cul de sac where my mother in law lives.Continue reading “1 November 2023”

My wife and I watched Interstellar recently, it’s certainly an epic, there’s one idea that the families are sending video recordings and it’s like the astronauts receive a life time of recordings at once. I mentioned that I write these to my daughter, and in that way they’re like the stockpile of recordings. I don’tContinue reading “27 October 2023”
