A couple of sun dogs on a Sunday
Over the last five and a half years of wearing an Apple Watch I have developed a bit of a watch strap “problem”. It appears that at some point I got a breeding pair.
Thankfully I have a friend with a 3D printer to help solve my storage problem.

Tonight is the first time since March that I get to play hockey.
My skates aren’t sharpened and this is the longest one been off the ice in 15 years.
At least I have freshly taped sticks. Looking good is 90% of being good… right?
Luna and Hugo hit peak “lazy Saturday vibes” this past weekend.
Luna is taking her Hurricane Teddy prep seriously.
I’m not even sure how she got under a blanket.
Luna and I left Hugo home this afternoon and went and explored a new trail around Long Lake
Step one in my 2020 home backup strategy is complete. Drives acquired, now I just have to wait for the RAID enclosure.
I have spilled coffee on two white shirts before 10am today. ☕️
For my birthday Raquel got me an ice cream maker attachment so tonight we are enjoying fresh peanut butter ice cream from scratch!
This afternoon Luna and Hugo both felt that one dog bed was in the ideal sun spot.
Today was bath day for the pups.
Hugo always has the best looks for us in his bathrobe.
I celebrated my birthday tonight as I always with some Derby Pie.
This however is the first time the Kentucky Derby itself has been on my birthday.
2020 is a weird year.
Luna built herself a nap fort this morning.

Now that the play in round is finished and the first round starts tonight I have filled out the annual NHL.com playoff bracket.
I have once again fallen for my personal biases and picked the Golden Knights as the champs.
It’s been two years since I had gotten out for a ride. Thankfully a former coworker asked me to go for a ride and coffee at The Bike & Bean Cafe.
Tommorow morning should be an interesting game of “what hurts and how”
These two know how to absolutely melt my heart.
Tonight Tak took a moment to enjoy the dog bed in the sun.
Hugo has taken it upon himself to supervise all meal prep
Hiked Up Middle Head today and got a good look at Cape Smokey and a rain shower in the distance.
Luna and I are kicking off our little Cape Breton vacation by laying in the sun
When I went to make lunch I discovered Luna had build herself a nest on the couch.
This screen is a sight for sports weary eyes.
