April Fool 2024

Sometimes I hate this day, some news is so close to real others are way out there and pollutes real news.

Anyway, start of month, start of week, just need to get past today.

Did get some AWS processes down, building a local box and importing into AWS.

Easter 2024

Interesting year, one of the unusual times (1 in 4 or 5) that Easter lands in March. It was also the end of the Month.

Had a pretty good day, was beautiful. Feels like a nice warm spring.

Ate breakfast out with family, beat the Easter crowd, and had a steak barbeque dinner.

More New Toys

With a new phone comes new accessories, so I got a wireless charger cradle and a new 20W Anker fast charger.

Also getting parts to build a new 1L server. Its a weird case of a solution trying to answer a problem.

I like today’s pace, filled with stuff but not rushed.

Woke up late (so well rested) and took my son to a track meet. He warmed up while I went home to relax for an hour. When my wife an I returned, a lot of parking spots were vacated.

Back home posting but still behind on my steps, got 6000 more to go, but I am going to meet up with some coworkers for a bit then head on to the Outlet Mall in Tulalip and some fun in the Casino.

Son did well, he cracked 11 minutes for the 2 mile. I was really happy and proud.

Good Friday 2024

Didn’t mention it but I have given up melatonin.

Anyway, this is the end of Lent 2024, fasting and I got a few more hours to go.

Took the day off.

Played around with AWS and VMs. Need to get my document going.

End Of Lent

Technically it is the end of Lent, but tomorrow and Sunday are big dates.

Tomorrow is Good Friday and I will fast the entire day. Also taking tomorrow off.

Saw my son run officially for a meet today. He did well but has to conserve for another meet Saturday, a 3600 meter run.

Check out this weight, and I had unhealthy Ultimate Cheeseburger and 3 Egg rolls the night prior.

Had Sam Choi garlic chicken though, but tomorrow gonna be fasting.

Late and Day not done

Been working late, got my old cube cleaned out and have been working late.

I am home now and am so tired.

Day not done though, still have a few things to deal with before I can go to bed.

Still have to eat dinner, so hungry.

Crash Case 2024 Progress

The new crash case is coming along nicely.

Crash Case 2024 Progress

One problem is that it is top heavy, need some ballast to hold it down.

Thinking of putting a board to make it heavy, maybe MDF or pine.

Went out to the gym today, forgot new phone, old habits die hard, I grabbed old phone.

Gym wasn’t a struggle today, guess rest helped.

Also got to continue setup of my crash case. Screws not working for me.

Check this weight out.

Organizing Myself

Been trying to add things to my life to make it secure and easier.

Like a new personal laptop and a yubikey for easy logins.

I also need to remove stuff, in fact removing stuff will simplify my life more than adding stuff.

Started deleting machines I manage from my list.

Still behind in my steps, headed out to get the 6000 more steps and 9 more floors.

Come to think of it, it is weight too, I need to lose fat but gain stamina and muscle.

Near Miss on Fitbit Goals

Nearly 10:50 PM and I was still short about couple hundred steps, worse yet I was halfway my floors goal.

Got it done as I post.

Woke up late (you can say I slept in) but we had plans.

Went to Marysville for shopping and gambling. While at the casino and mall I got 7000 steps, but I was at a party and barely got an additional 500 steps.

Just cleared 10k steps at 11PM and got my final 5 floors in.
