Early

I was to bed early last night because I was taking Christine to the airport early this morning. Although I have no real need to get up very early anymore I still function just fine getting up way before the sun rises. On the drive to the airport I thought about how I was getting up at 5:30 every morning to take care of the chickens. I then thought back to my days as a race timer when I would be getting up even earlier to drive my loaded truck to the race site. That conditioned my brain to be up and firing first thing as pre-race prep had a lot of moving parts. In a weird way it felt good to be out and about in the world while many are still in bed.

This weekend I have a few things I want to do. One of them is to do some swapping around of fans/lights on the lanai. My new outdoor sofa is positioned at the south end of the space. The ceiling fan is in the middle so when it’s running you can’t feel it if you are relaxing on the couch. A zero dollar fix for this issue is to move the fan where the light currently is above the couch and put the light where the fan was. I eventually would like to get different lights out there but for now this will address the issue.

I also would like to take my newly repaired Kingsong S22 out to the swamp for a ride. It will give me a chance to revisit my old stomping grounds. I realized recently that I never rode the S22 in the swamp so this will give me an opportunity to correct that oversight. Other than a few small tasks I would like to just enjoy the time in whatever way I please.

Yesterday I got on a kick where I pulled clips out of some of my old YouTube videos and made Shorts out of them. The all involved me falling/failing in some way, a very popular genre.
