Had the family fill up vehicles with gas, and we stocked up on food supplies. Treating it like a minor snowmageddon.
But weather reports say otherwise, it does not look like it is going to snow at all.
Waiting for the late night news to see what is up.
Either way we are prepared.
In other news, head coach of the Seahawks Pete Caroll was demoted today. A changed was needed.
Got my steps done today in the cold and in the dark.
Weight: 349.6
Did my walk today in the cold. Big mistake, came home and got a nice chunk wearing something that the wind would not blow through.
Pine cones all over the road again.
Speaking of wind, it has been cutting power and turning off my secondary server. I had to restart my ESXi host and its associated VMs.
I have a UPS, but I think the batteries are dead. I ordered batters and am going to do a pull test.

After about a 1/2 year hiatus, I am getting back into 3D printing again.
I need some things printed for the upcoming meetup.
So in addition to getting printing again, I am going back into microcontrollers.
I got my steps done early, but there was a bit in the evening I had to do.
Kind of lazy, but got it done.
Side note I authored this on 1/8 but forgot to post
Weight: 349.6
Felt like a rougher Sunday than usual, although I got my steps and floors done early, still did not feel like I got enough done.
On a side note, I made it a full week with 10k steps and 10 floors per day.
Anyway, I thought I didn’t need to go to the bathroom, but it was a struggle getting home.
After my steps I rested a bit while the Seahawks played, if they won and Green Bay lost they were in the playoffs, altough they barely won, GB did so too, so no more Seahawks games. Just as well, because I think they were going to get crushed in the playoffs anyway.
Got gas and food, after each task I had to pee. What is it with having to pee a lot today.
Been tired all day, slept 8 hours so I shouldn’t be.
Anyway, I thought I was going to do more today, but didn’t even clean my office.
Weight: 351.6
End of the holidays, decorations were taken down today.
Kind of sad taking things down, but also represents a fresh starts.
Did a partial run, got all of my steps at the Y though.
Weight: 394.6
Worked from home and I was not in the office, so no long walks under cover. I walked in the mild rain to get my steps today.
I made 8500 steps in two rounds, kind of tired.
I think Fridays are gonna be hard.
Weight: 349.0
Day 4, kind of a rest day, all I did was get the 10k steps and 10 floors, closing in on 11k steps.
Although today was slow, helped buddy Rob setting up a linux box with podman on it.
Also got to run homeassistant and pihole images.
Anyway mixed bag day, gonna be busy tomorrow.
Can’t believe my evening weight was below 350
Weight: 348.6
Got my steps in for 3 days in a row. As I post at about 10:35 PM I am at 11760 steps.
Feel like walking around the house to get to 12k.
Went to doctor and asked to be administered the Moca test, I passed, so I think my short term memory issues are lack of sleep.
Been sleeping good now that I am tired a bit.
Weight: 352.6
Luckily I got a whole bunch of steps prior to the gym.
I had floors done and needed 1500 more steps. But when we get to Y, it was dark so there was a power issue of some sort.
I walked around a strip mall while my son waited for dinner.
Got it done.
Saw my mom off this morning back to Hawaii, I gonna miss her.
Then spent 2 and a half hours waiting to get blood drawn for some tests. That was incredibly long.
Weight: 349.6
OK 2022 was Meh, 2023 was Meh, but if today is going to be like the rest of the year it is going to be busy.
The fireworks on TV for Seattle wasn’t that great, looked like it was just fog and cloud.
But the next morning I got up at about 7:15 left the house at about 7:50 to make that, back to using a smart phone for the annual photo, just wasn’t prepared.
Still dark at 7:57 but I did wait till 8:18 and was treated with some sun.
But I had to hurry home, because I had to get ready for a New Year’s day parkrun.
Son did the full 5k I did just 2 miles.
So to complete the Morning trifecta I want to see my son do the Polar Plunge where you wade into freezing water. Last year it was at Gene Coulon park this year it was at Henry Moses Aquatic Center
Got home at about 10:30, but my day not done, I needed my 10k steps so I went out got the balance of my 10k steps + 10 floor before noon. In fact as I post I am less than 300 shy of 12k steps.
After that I was physically tired, being up late drinking and reveling then up early to see sunrise. I top it all off by completing one of my goals for 2024, upgrading my 2016 server, a physical one at that to 2022. So with my Windows AD and Linux servers upgraded, I am good for the rest of the decade.
I am in now planning mode for 2024, like I posted last year, nice to set goals but need to create a plan.
Anyway, today started with some patience and blasted the morning.
Oh one thing about my weight, I did weigh in before all the fun at 352.6, but after walking hit the weight below, it did fluctuate to 349.8 but I like to round number to officially post to start the year.
Weight: 350.0
