Seems like a mixed message.
First time playing Trekking the World. Game setup took a bit to figure out but we got the hang of it fast enough. Was cool to learn about the world and enjoy a game at the same time.
Working on my bartender skills. Old Fashioneds and Lemondrop Martinis. 🍸
Happy Halloween! 🎃
Madison Lake, Minnesota.
These results are incredible, and seem almost unstoppable.
“America’s biggest tech firms reported dizzying figures, as each surfed on the pandemic’s waves. Amazon’s third-quarter sales grew 37% year-on-year, to more than $96bn; it hired 50% more staff to cope with the demands of locked-down households. Alphabet was the only giant whose share price strengthened, as Google’s ad sales recovered, especially on YouTube. Apple’s iPhone sales were even weaker than expected, while overall revenue and profit held steady. Facebook blew past glowering governments’ scrutiny to report quarterly revenue growth of 22%, with a prediction of better to come over the holidays.” — The Economist Espresso, October 30th, 2020
Lasagna assembly! 👨🍳🇮🇹
Got a new PR this morning in Kendall Toole’s 30-min Metal Ride. 🤘 405 kJ, +3 kJ over prior. Redlined the entire last half of the ride. #FitByFifty
Tyler and I are playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons together and we are using ACNH Exchange to get good prices for Turnips. I’m using it as an opportunity to introduce him to spreadsheets and basic financial concepts. 😊💰
I wonder how many Neural Engines the iPhone will need before it can properly adjust exposure for snow scenes. 😖
Won afternoon game of Trekking the National Parks. Me 47, Tyler 42, Mazie 36, and Tammy 33.
Fun #TeamSPS project for a Friday afternoon. Enlisting the kids to help with decorating. ☝️
Lucky went out during lunch and got herself into a good bunch of mud! 🤦♂️
I did a 10-min full body stretching program on Peloton tonight. My flexibility is very lacking. Ouch. #FitByFifty
With a team in Kyiv I’ve been keeping an eye on COVID-19 cases in Ukraine. Infection rates have been growing steadily since mid-summer.
Just updated my list of newsletters I subscribe to with some recent additions and changes. We need more ways to discover newsletters so this is my ”newsletter-roll”.
My boat motor won’t run and its been a saga. The shop is coming to fix it, or tow it, later this week. In the meantime, snowy boat. 🤦♂️❄️🚤
First significant snowfall for Twin Cities. This should all melt and let us get back to raking. 🍂❄️
