Run in the sun

I am getting ready to go for a run at Arbor Hills. It is 98 degrees so this will be quite miserable I'm sure. It's always a challenge when it gets this hot but it's a great feeling once I finish.

AC at the house actin' up.

My AC was making a weird noise, so I took a look at the filter. It was toast.

As a result of a clogged filter, I had a frozen system that needed to thaw.

After thawing the drain was filling with this gunk that I could not seem to get out of the drain pan.

To clean out the gunk I invented the Cajun Crud Catcher attachment. This attaches to any wet vac system, and replacement parts are available over the counter at any hardware store.

The rain, and all that implies

All the rain has brought these weird growths in the front yard. Apparently they are a type of mushroom called a stinkhorn.






There's also some more normal looking mushrooms too. I'm not sure what theses are called.


Also, we had a huge branch break off on our tree. That poor tree is dying slowly.

Low carb, bad knee, empty stomach, 82 and humid makes for a hard 3 miles

82 feels like 98 today. I have been eating very low carb and I have not eaten today so that made for a very hard for 3 miles. my knee wasn't feeling that great either. Now that the whining is out of the way, it did feel good. And when I say it felt good I mean it felt good to be finished with the run.

Running with Daisy on the greenbelt

Daisy is an older dog now but she doesn't seem to get tired. Now me on the other hand...

I am about to try and get a run in before it starts raining again

I am about to give it another go on my knee. The sprints and squats on Monday really had my knee hurting but it's a little better today.

It's crazy how many different pieces of software I use as part of a normal work week

I tried to make a list. This does not include email and non work-related apps and websites.

I'll say, if I use it every week, I'll list it.
