No Pool Today Either

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

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

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

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

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

I need to watch it though

Another Problem – Power Outage

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

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.

Weight: 330.0
