Getting things done, Getting things ridden
My Valentine’s Day was filled with exertion and effort. At lunch I did my 400 rep calisthenics workout followed up with a uncomfortable 12 laps around the track after work in high humidity conditions. Later in the evening I went back to the office to get some after hours work done which included swapping out three network switches and relocating seven rack servers. I crashed into bed exhausted to a high degree.
Saturday had a number of smaller chores/tasks that I attended to in the morning followed by a long range testing ride on my new Gotway MSX wheel in the afternoon. I logged around 36 miles on the ride and reached speeds in excess of 33 MPH during the trip. The EUC has the title as the fastest in the world, I could definitely confirm that.
Saturday night we did our belated Valentine’s dinner. We headed to Carrabbas as I had a gift card my sister sent for Christmas. We had not been there in awhile. Wow have times changed. We arrived about 6:30 which is prime time. In years past, going to Carrabas at this time on a Saturday night during season would easily result in huge crowds with 90 minute or more wait times. Because of the huge influx of dining options in our area over the years and the sterilization of this location where they removed all of it’s uniqueness from other locations, Carrabas isn’t that big of a deal anymore. We got seated in 5-10 minutes and there were plenty of spots in the parking lot, wow.
Our server appeared to be somewhat new and she sort of was klutzy with her delivery of service during the meal. The food itself was tasty but I couldn’t help missing the days of the old Carrabas which were filled with many lasting memories as I dined there with family and friends.
Sunday was a nice day as well that was not overloaded with work. During the afternoon Deb came over for a visit. We headed over to the school for a bit where she tried her hand at riding the One Wheel. She had one fall but overall did very well, rolling along pretty steadily after maybe 45 minutes of practice.
I was hoping to have the fill/sod work done in the chicken area by now. The guy that went to school with Daniel has not been very responsive to my requests to get the work scheduled. He ignored a number of texts and didn’t return a call I made on Friday so i think I am done with him. I’m not going to beg someone to take my money. I will either find someone else to do the work or I will rent a Bobcat and do the work myself at this point.
My Monday looks to be following a similar timeline as yesterday. After tending to a number of things this morning I plan to get back out on my MSX this afternoon. If you are wondering what the inside of an EUC looks like, wonder no longer.
