Its Really Cold

I think today will be the coldest day in the next stretch of a few days.

Cold Stretch

At least it was dry on the streets and sidewalks.

Still ice and hail left from a few days, but it is still a good grip.

Got my steps done early but there were literally signs showing it has freezing.

Was able to get my steps done early, it is 5:24PM and I am done with my steps and floors.

Going to take a nap and defrost for a bit before continuing my work.

I did go to bed late last night, not intentionally. I accidentally disconnected some hard drives from a VM that had them in MDM raid. Forced reassembly and immediately did a back up.

Test of Commitment

Today there was some horrible weather. I heard hail but it went away, it did not seem so bad.

Seemed Clear

Had to work a bit more but then started my walk, and about 3/4 in it started to hail hard

Heavy Hail

I don’t have more pictures but I was determined to get more steps., I think after this I was at 6 or 7k

I walked on the Lindbergh High School between my son’s swimming events. It was slippery.

After my son was done while they were cleaning up I walked around the parking lot, got to 9500 steps. It was dark.

So in the dark, cold slippery, not stopping me.

But today definitely was a “test your commitment” day.

Snow Coming… Maybe

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.

Brr Cold

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.

Getting Back To 3D Printing

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

Rough Sunday

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.

Tough Reaching Goals Today

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.
