Posted on June 25, 2026 by larry

Today it was cool enough for my to function. Caught up on some server work.

Week Moving Fast

Posted on June 24, 2026 by larry

I felt like I would have more time, but time is burning fast.

Still need to clean the house, looking to do a fast job.

Ran for an hour on the treadmill today, another workout pushing myself.

Completed 12000+ steps today as well as a new PR for weight.

Welcome Back Summer

Posted on June 23, 2026 by larry

Oh boy was it hot today, been cooking all day. Needed to stay hydrated all day.

All my hard drives are overheated.

Been camping in my bedroom with AC.

Just got back from walking and it was cooler outside but it is 10PM at night.

Relief is on the way though.

End of Four Day Weekend

Posted on June 22, 2026 by larry

Today I once again got a lot done.

I cleaned my office by dumping things into the living room. I think whatever I bring back in must go in the closet.

I finally installed my new opnsense firewall and got an OS on it.

Another thing I installed was the Ikea Skagis board

I need to print some mounts for it.

Also this plant is blooming, rarely does

I couldn’t run today, felt so tired and slow.

But when I hit the weights, there was some strength coming back.

I think lunch and dinner slowed me down.

First Day Of Summer 2026

Posted on June 21, 2026 by larry

Summer is officially here, it is kind of hot here.

Also it is Father’s Day.

I celebrated by sleeping in, probably tomorrow too.

Last night I was up late reorg some cables. When I went to bed morning seemed to be peaking.

Going to have a bunch of things tomorrow. Probably will sleep early too.

Also tried to get a workout database going. If got time will take another shot tomorrow.

Bedroom Desk Refit

Posted on June 20, 2026 by larry

Been organizing the bedroom desk that I have been on. Still got a significant work. Overall there is a lot of work around the house. Food needs to be cooked, clothes washed, stuff put away. Going to hit that the next two days.

I told kids about a place called Sanoya Restaurant, looks like they closed May 1 of this year.

Udon Set At Home

Earned it today, ran in my new shoes, I think it was holding me back. I did not PR but I think I can train in them better and get faster.

Is It The Shoes

Posted on June 19, 2026 by larry

Didn’t realize I been rocking the Saucony shoes for over year

Remember this https://www.apolonio.com/blog/?p=14381

Finally retiring the Hurricanes and trying the Beast, the beast will be my summer and fall running shoes.

Going to find out if this will solve my feet hurting issues. After I work out today I will come and repost.

Verdict: Just got done, my feet feel significantly better.

Also on my walk today just happen to hit Mr. Blue Sky By the Electric Light Orchestra and seemed really appropriate

Nice day, not terribly hot outside, but weirdly hot indoors.

Got a lot done today, Finance Friday, patched my systems, also started playing with bottles. Need to learn more, I need a physical box though.

Start of the Weekend

Posted on June 18, 2026 by larry

Tomorrow is Juneteenth and we have the day off, additionally I have Monday off and today I had a conference on Cloudflare in Bellevue.

I thought it would be a chill day, but I was wrong, I still have documentation to turn in and had patching at night.

So no, my weekend didn’t start today, after I turn in my documentation tomorrow it starts.

Why Not Losing Weight

Posted on June 17, 2026 by larry

I am not sure why I am not losing weight, I am stuck between 310lbs and 320lbs and not dropping. I thought 180minutes of working out a week is enough, it is not.

I increased my dosage this week, I hope it improves.

Different Walk Route

Posted on June 16, 2026 by larry

My nephew graduated today and he had a small get together at a park called Log Bloom Park.

As things were wrapping up, I decided to give it a walk.

Pretty area, got a little chilly. Technically it is still Spring.

Technically my walk was in the Burke Gilman Trail.
