No Pool Today Either

Posted on September 26, 2024 by larry

After a long day at work, I thought I would have a chance to hit the pool, went there and half the pool was closed, not sure why, but was too crowded for me.

I was tired, I left and got 3000+ steps at Lowes.

As I post, my watch says 9999 steps.

Another Power Outage

Posted on September 25, 2024 by larry

Not even a week and there was another power outage. My main file server is showing problems. Hoping it is just a race condition where it booted up before other services were available.

One thing is clear, I need to set up a simple network where family can press a few buttons and insure things are up.

Work is getting better though, but busy, so I need to the home network to just stabilize.

Not much going on this weekend, wish I had time to order things to help with the network

End of Farmers Market 2024

Posted on September 24, 2024 by larry

Left work a little early to have a last run at Renton Farmers Market.

Kind of sad, but end of summer it is. With that said, I told my daughter when Farmer’s Market opens next summer I want to be 270lbs.

I should have had dinner with wife and kids instead of holding out for a weigh in at home.

For now….

Weight: 331.0

Power Outage Recap

Posted on September 23, 2024 by larry

A lot of stuff around the house is still down. This weekend I think I got some time back and will go back to the pool.

I may need smart switch here and there, maybe a wifi bridge. A lot of the problem is they are stuck behind things.

Weight is up there again. Getting steps in but not in a place to eat healthy. But a lot of this was self inflicted over the past few days especially the fair.

Still, I am not officially back over 330

Weight: 332.8

End of Summer 2024

Posted on September 21, 2024 by larry

This was on of those busy, accomplished days

  • Woke up at 8:00 AM and continued rebuilding things like one of the 2023 Domain Controllers
  • At 8:40 left the house and made it to parkrun at 9 which is amazing because a lot of people told me there was heavy traffic.
  • At 9:00 ran the park run and got it at 58:41 which I was happy to come under an hour but more importantly accomplished a goal I set for this year to do a park run before end of summer.
  • At 10:30 I arrived at home and got ready for the rest of the day
  • At 11:20 left house and experienced this traffic everyone was talking about, apparently 405 by Renton was shutdown and was being bypassed through down.
  • At 12:25 we arrived at PLU
  • About 1PM we had a luncheon with the PLU XC team, this was goal #2 of the day.
  • At 2:50 we arrived at the state fair, we were stuck in traffic for about 30 minute, so future self budget for that.
  • We finished off our State fair run and left the area at 5:50PM and battled traffic out of Puyallup and I was super tired by then but got us home.
  • At 6:50PM we arrived home and I took a nap
  • Got up at 9:25 to do some networking stuff, needed to finish off my stairs. It is done at 10 floors and my 10k steps was done much earlier in the day. But I am clocking 14796 as I post, gonna do 204 steps in the house to clear 15k by end of night. Will post if I did not make it.

It was a milestone day due to making my goal. So I am rewarded

State Fair 2024 Reward

I need to watch it though

Another Problem – Power Outage

Posted on September 20, 2024 by larry

What a stressful day at about 3AM the power flickered in my home and a bunch of circuits popped causing my servers to go down.

At about 4AM everything went down. This caused me lost hours of sleep and no CPAP.

Luckily my wife had a morning appointment so I had a bit of rest but I was exhausted.

At about 2PM I checked out the area and saw this

It was not till 8PM when power was restored. This really hurt my schedule. Didn’t get to do a proper reconcile of my finances, and my steps finished late.

This will hurt my run tomorrow.

Success at work, not some much on weight

Posted on September 19, 2024 by larry

I was supposed to trend down, but with now swimming, eating bad, and weird sleep, it all adds up to weight gain.

I am keeping up with the 10k steps. Almost there today, I can easily finish it at home. If I can keep it a little down, I can bounce back Sat after parkrun.
