1100 to the animals, rabbit food, doing a dance, breaking the chains

The past few days I have noticed that right around dusk a small rabbit has been hanging out right around the large shed.  I am pretty sure there is a rabbit hole under there.  Well last night the chickens were still walking around as the sun was setting.  We had their coop open.  The rabbit saw that as an opportunity to go into the coop and start chowing down on pellet food we give the chicks.  Two of the chickens saw this and came running up to the coop, watching the rabbit eat their food with what I assume is a chicken “WTF” expression on their face.

I got an email from the company that processed the party van donation on behalf of the Humane Society stating that it was sold for $1100, meaning the HS will get a nice little chunk of dough.  I am sure it was wholesaled.  I am curious if it will be back on Florida roads soon.  If so I hope the new owner wears their seat belt.

This weekend is one of the club’s bigger races, a 10K that is held at Artis-Naples.  I am having to get creative with the disposable timing bibs we use to time races.  I only have around 540 of our normal timing bibs left and we currently have a little over 500 10K runners registered, meaning I will run out of bibs by race day.  To get by I am going to have to redeploy timing bibs that were left over from last year’s Thanksgiving race.  It’s not an ideal scenario but one that came about because a new race was added to the club schedule after we made the last bib order, throwing our usage number estimates out of whack.  Using the leftover bibs turns into a lot of extra work for me since they are not sequential.  I need to do a lot of manual tracking and assigning of bibs to make sure all the numbers jive at the end.

In a couple weeks Cindy will be breaking away from the chains of a normal 9-5 job.  The big goal is for her to get her trainer certification complete which she has been working on for a month or so.  The timing of the change will actually work out well for the house flooring project. She will be able to be home while the installers are there, meaning I won’t have to burn tons of PTO to get the project done.  Cindy also has a list of home improvement/chores that she wants to work on while she has the time.

She will of course be working at least part time down the road but hopefully it will be something that offers flexibility and is more in line with Cindy’s strengths and abilities.  Personally I would be ok with her being my full time house slave.

I forgot to mention that we watched Dumb and Dumber To over the weekend.  Of course it could not live up to the original which was one of the funnier movies I have ever seen.  Still I thought they did a decent job although Cindy would probably not agree with the overall B rating I am giving it.
