Little one is strong and moves a lot! Can’t wait to get him in the mountains!

 

Happy Friday guys. Our power was restored last night about 9pm. A full day ahead of schedule. Of course, we'd already relo'd to Birch Bay so Murphy is working. Now the entire family is working/schooling in the same big room which is a switch for me...

 

500 miles in the truck since Wednesday. Not a fun drive either. I need a beer.

 

Oh, many tonight

 

lol...
I’m still at work


And I’m about due for a new bottle

 

Dang, getting right after it. Noice.

I just cracked #2...

 

LOL - well, around 12:30, our shop superintendent and I had to go double check that the new keg in the tap room was hooked up right. But then we had to go back to actually doing something until about 4:30.

Heading out the door in a few...was waiting for my 3D print to finish.

 

Funny, I thought you were working from home. Drive safe!

 

Back home, bout to throw some flat irons on the grill.
Gimme that DonJulio!

 

Yeah - a beer at lunch and a slow-sipped DJ just now. All good. Hitting the grocery store and the hardware store on my way home to get stuff for dinner and stuff for finishing up my kitchen shelves this weekend. The shop got the corner brackets welded up for me.

Catch you guys on the flip side!

 

We got a Flat Iron substituted for a flank steak a few weeks ago. That's a nice cut of meat...gotta experiment with it some more.

I've got to go low and slow with my drinking for another 3hrs....on a customer call....dang it

 

Salmon cakes for us tonight! Homemade from scratch.

 

Think the chef decided to pound out some chicken breast and roll up with an jalapeño-artichoke dip we got at the store....that's if I didn't eat too much of the dip an hour ago.

 

That's a nice substitute, great flavor and easy to cook.

3 hour work call!? Take me out like Old Yeller please.

 

Four hours total...going to 8pm tonight. If the customer works Saturday morning I can work Friday evenings....in theory

 

Yikes man, good luck.

 

Normally I'm "Eff-U at 2pm" on Fridays, but this is worth it. I'll bust all week, but the weekends are mine.

I can take it as comp time. I'll roll in a few more hours in next week and then take a mid-week day off. Already talking to a buddy about meeting in the hills for the day.

 

Worth it to hit the hills

 

And. Still. Going...

 

My wife is trying to do 52 hikes this year. So once a week it has changed our weekends. Seems to work mentality also. I work a physical and mentally strained job 6 days a week. On average i travel 6 miles a day at work per my smart watch and phone, I run a bunch of different crafts at work to meet schedules. With her goal at least i am not thinking about work all day like i was doing before this challenge. So we are going long beach tomorrow to drive around on the beach a hike and surf fish.
See you guys there.

We will see how long this lasts.

 

Dude, I love that goal. Thought I saw a challenge like "Spend a 1,000hrs outside in '21" online the other day and thought that looked cool...

We did a 3.5 mile walk this morning that was just over 10,000 steps on my phone. I need to do more of those...

 

That’s not really bad, only 2.75 hours a day.
I’m trying to walk 2 miles every day. Sometimes it’s only 1.5. Usually I miss 1 or 2 days a week. The clinic where I am getting physical therapy is 2 miles from home. I walk there and back on Thursday mornings. Absolutely love walking in the rain, fog, mist, drizzle! After working outdoors in the southwest for 40 years, I pretty much detest sunshine, lol

 

Working from home has been great, but many days I get almost no exercise. No bueno. Trying to improve on that, but this time of year it can be hard. But gotta do it, right!

 

Walked about 10,000 steps today just back and forth from my basement to my truck and all around my truck. But my bed lights are installed, my power tailgate lock is installed, and I'm working on my switch panel for the anytime camera mod.

 

You’re gonna love the tailgate lock!
I didn’t even add the mileage I put on working around the place and in my shop; fencing, cleaning up storm debris, pruning trees, preparing for the spring garden, etc.

Going steelhead fishing tomorrow on the Wilson, setting here sipping on some scotch while I tie up some egg loop leaders.

 

Progress...

 

I want to add bed lights underneath my tonneau cover. Keep forgetting about doing that until like today with early leaving and fishing.
