I’m running about 15 minutes late this morning. I guess it’s from the extra long dawg walk.
Above are pics from yesterday’s dawg walk, ’cause picture makes the post! These are Cuban Royal Palms, in Hawaii they’re called Hawaiian Royal Palms, I’m sure somewhere else, they’re called some other kind of Royal Palms.
Have a great day!
This morning Daisy destroyed her bed. It was a nice bed. I’m very disappointed in her. Again.
I cleaned up the fluff and threw the bed away. It was completely ripped open. I hope she’ll understand the remaining bed is Lenny’s and not hers.
Yesterday was the retirement lunch party for one of my favorite co-workers, Laurie. When I didn’t know something, and didn’t want anyone to know I didn’t know, I’d ask her. She always knew everything about airports,.
It’s a bittersweet Wednesday. Have a good day!
According to my Garmin Fitness Tracking, I’m “maintaining a high aerobic shortage”. I need to exercise more, apparently
For the past few weeks, I’ve been swimming at least a half mile almost every day (half the days). I guess I have to pick it up. I also have been exercising and diving and yoga. I’m pretty active each and every day.
Maybe I need to get up earlier and start running before I walk the dogs…
Just kidding. Garmin also says I’m physically fit like a 53 year old, and they know my birth date. .
Have a good day!
Happy Monday! This is my first working Monday in 3 weeks. Last two were holidays, Discovery Day and the Kings Coronation.
Above are your typical underwater pictures, pretty vase sponges, a couple of tiny underwater denizens and a squid, then a baby lionfish. Ending with your typical eyeball of conch.
After diving and lunch, i came home and napped and read and finished The Candy House, which i didn’t particularly enjoy. Maybe I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.
I didn’t do any of my home projects, again. I’m hot worried about.
And now it’s off to work. Hava great week!
I accidentally bought steel cut oats instead of rolled oats yesterday. My recipe specifies rolled oats. I looked it up and the differences were minor, so I just used the steel cut.
They were good! They are more like chunks than flakes. I noticed this morning that they had soaked up all the milk. But it was good, less mushy, more chewy and tasted differently good.
So, you have my blessing to use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats in my recipe.
Happy Friday! Have a good weekend!.
Day before yesterday, I left my coffee cup at work. Yesterday i took my spare. Then I left it at work too.
Dounle Disaster!
This morning I am doing the unthinkable, I’m not making coffee at home and waiting to get to work to have my first cup.
You’re probably thinking “He’ll never make it” and to be honest, I’m having my doubts too. 20 minute drive with no coffee? I doubt it’s ever been attempted before.
If this is my last post, good bye! I love you all! If I make it, then the next time we meet, I shall be a hero! But we’ll all still be equals in my eyes!
I bid you adieu!
There was a planet in front of the moon this morning, Jupiter, I think. My Google sky maps isn’t working properly. In the picture on the right is the tip of a palm frond, in case you waere wondering.
Then there was a nice sunrise. From my roof.
And now I’m off to work. Have a fabulous day!
I went diving yesterday pretty uneventful. But it was a nice dive Below are a few pics.
I oiled this old table with Teak Oil, also, it came out pretty good. And the wood really loves it. The stains are still visible through the oil. It was a lot of work, getting all the nooks and crannies. This table folds to half a table, a whole table or no table at all for storage! I also did some housecleaning.
It was a good, satisfying weekend. I don’t mind having to go back to work today.
i wish you a beautiful day!
I signed myself up for the 2023 Goodreads reading challenge. I am to read 15 books this year. I think I’m on 6, and I’m starting to have doubts about if I will make it. Master and Margarita was a very long book and took a long time to read, because of its complexity. Right now I am reading The Candy House and it seems like it is taking longer than it should.
I have to read faster, and shorter, easier books. Are you reading any books you think I’d like? Let me know!
Happy Friday!
i went to the doctor yesterday at the insistence of a co worker. I had a swollen ankle. Last week, during a dawg walk Daisy was attempting to attack her mortal enemy, the black dog across the street. I was holding her by her collar and she was lunging after him in front of me. I used my shin to push her out of the way and accidentally kicked her in the teeth.
Looks like a bite, but it’s not. Accidental if it is.
No big deal. Swollen ankle didn’t hurt and was fully flexible. i figured I dirt it without realizing it and it would get better by itself, but the dude at work put two and two together and insisted i check it out, so I did. I got an anti lockjaw (tetanus) shot and a weeks worth of antibiotics. It seems better this morning but probably would be getting better anyway.
Two years ago today the wife moved out. Two years ago last night was the last time I ever kissed my wife good night. I’ve come a long way since then.
Have a great, great day!
