Year on Zepbound

Going to post updated numbers over the next weekend but wanted to post something today.

Note it has trended down. I think I need to up my dose. Summer is in a bit a more than a month, can I crack 305 by then?

Weekend Almost Here

Been doing a lot of work, been far behind still. Feel like I am trying to make it to the shore but the swells and waves keep pulling me back out.

I been working extra but feel like I am not getting ahead.

Currently trying to build a Linux iso for work. Making a bunch of weird mistakes, need to fix them.

Spring Wind Storm Outage

Power actually didn’t go out but it did flicker. It killed one of my switches, as I post I am printing a mount for a new switch that came in today.

The reason for the power outage was due to some pretty weird win gusts, threw a lot of leaves on my walk.

Wind Storm Debris

I did run a 5k on the treadmill and another mile walking outside. I did hit 10k steps.

Problems with 2 1/2″ Drives

Another 2.5″ drive giving me problems.

I pulled it out of my mini server frigate box and hoping a USB Seagate will do the trick.

A place that has been giving me fits is my nearstore server. I actually rebuilt it from scratch.

Hit the gym today, felt really good. My may toggle on gym rat mode.

I may push hard in the next two or three weeks.

Mother’s Day 2026

Midway through spring and we got our first bar b que of the season.

I don’t think it will be the only one this month, but it was fun. Everyone was here for Mother’s day.

Also called my mom, wished her Happy Mother’s day too.

Weight is up there, but I did hydrate much more than normal.

Pretty Awesome Run

OK, I was slow, and I didn’t PR, but I didn’t quit either. But I did run a parkrun 5k

What was amazing was afterwards I weighed in. See below.

I do want to touch on some things

My nearstore server has been having problems with its disk.

It is on a 2.5″ disk and I have come to a conclusion they do not do support zfs well.

Shrimp Trip 2026

Did our annual pilgrimage to Mount Vernon and got our shrimp.

Although we did get shrimp, I also got an awesome crab sandwich.

Yummy Crab Sandwich

We left a little later, about 9:30AM but still got there with ample time. Today was a Friday so not that many people.

We got home around 4:30PM and after resting a bit son and I hit the gym. I felt amazing. Really surprised myself.

Weight is lowest since putting into regular database April 2023.

All City Track Meet 2026

Went to memorial stadium and saw a bunch of former runners and cheered on current runners.

Weather was great, took time to walk Cedar River.

Work was busy though, I think I have a 3 day weekend, but that is not true, going to have to work and catch up on things.
