Nice quiet weekend of getting outside: running and kayaking on Saturday; riding bikes and watching soccer on Sunday. Sun and exercise tired me out in a nice way. Got to bed really early on Saturday and even a little early on Sunday. Feeling pretty good…
This morning I woke up to a 56 degree house. Put on a few layers and trudged out in the snow to check the oil tank. Empty. I guess the oil lasted just long enough to get us through the super-cold snap we had last…
New year etc. Still recovering from this cold/gunk/crud. But I thought I should get a post in. Looking back on 2023 I think I did ok on my goals. We ended up having a blast in the UK and I did end up getting to…
