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.

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
