I’m getting even more excited about our upcoming RV road trip to Yellowstone National Park! It is going to be a great adventure! We are making stops at:
I’m not very handy, so I get disproportionately excited when I do complete little home projects. New drier vent with guard installed! Last winter the squirrels put over 20 pine cones in the vent!
The southwest dogleg of Cannon Lake is already extremely weedy with a lot of floating algae. The boat lanes look like roads. With July and August still ahead of us, this could be a pretty bad year for algae.
Email from our daughters high school:
“Due to budget cuts, the number of counselors serving Washburn students has shrunk from 5 to 3. Though our enrollment will once again be approximately 1650 students…”
We are in an incredibly anxious time. Many families are destabilized due to the pandemic and record unemployment. Add to that the tough work that we need to do on racism. Reducing counselors by 40% in the midst of that feels short-sighted.
Budgets are what they are, but hopefully these kids are going to find some support in their communities and families too, as many will need it.
We had a great backyard guitar performance tonight. 🎸
New 30-minute PR this morning! 378 kJ (+2 from previous). 39% of the time anaerobic! 🚴🏼♂️ #FitByFifty
This is bad. There are states safely reopening. Others should be following their lead. 😷
Tammy and I had dinner on the patio at Italian Eatery tonight. It was the first time we ate at a restaurant since March 15th! I surprised myself by how excited I was to be out somewhere! Super Tuscan red wine, Shaved Root Salad, and Baked Garganelli with Meatballs. 🤤
Mazie is growing some peppers, Brussels, herbs, and other food in a raised garden bed this summer. She loves to tend to the plants and even likes weeding. She’s trying this out with an eye towards a full garden in the future.
Galaga was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day. I got this awesome Quarter Arcade Galaga Cabinet for Father’s Day this year. The game play is a perfect replica! 🕹
