Sitting here at the airport, waiting to get on a flight to San Francisco. I’m going for work, but I’m going early to see friends that I haven’t seen since early 2020. Tonight I will be at my friends Italian restaurant in North Beach.

Safe travels, and have fun! It was good to see you when you were here.

For me, work weekend, and I am excited and terrified because it is my last work weekend, for the foreseeable future. I am ending my job contract next week. Mostly happy about it, though I'm sure I'll miss the extra money. The plan is to truly be able to focus on family and healthy things.

I need to get the garden stuff sorted and some of it planted. It's a long weekend here so hopefully I can get motivated to get it done. First it needs to warm up and dry out a bit.

I'm planning on wearing many layers to watch ball tonight.

Yea! The start of a new phase of life!

Getting all the gear out and ready for a dive trip to the Caribbean in two weeks. Checking the Go-pro, the DSLR, the Ipad, the new fins and mask, and making sure it's all well in the pool tomorrow.

First time taking two of the boys diving so trying to get them sorted with gear as well.

May take the Ducati for a rip Saturday afternoon and hope to avoid the cops.

Sports for the little ones and pushing for a great attitude and joy in participation.

Potentially attend church Sunday if the little lady wants to but most likely just sleep late.

It’s the May Two-Four long weekend up here (also known as the Victoria Day long weekend) so I have three days to chill out.

I plan to ride, meet friends for dinner and lunch, maybe do another ride and hopefully check out the new community pool. And spend lots of quality time snuggling with my cats.

I will most certainly share the story of how the friends of my American former roommate convinced him it was a holiday in celebration of booze. (“Only in Canada would you have a holiday in honor of beer!”) I was torn between letting him continue to believe this forever or be the one to burst his bubble. “Two-four” is slang for a flat of 24 cans of beer, mostly used in Ontario. As the long weekend falls on or close to May 24th, and lots of beer is generally consumed over the weekend, it’s often called the May Two-Four.

Writing a novel? Or reading one? Either way - what’s the novel about?

Writing. Swimming is central to the plot and it’s based on a small Maine island. That’s all I am willing to share right now, actually a good question of “what would I put on the cover flaps” to describe it. I know what the plot is but don’t want to give it away! Thanks for your interest.

I am reading a couple of novels too, but I like the one I am writing !

That is super cool!

I have a weekend of a lot of work. At work now and will be here until tomorrow at 7 am.

My younger daughter has a horse show tomorrow, so when I get off work, I will be headed there to be "horse-show-dad".

Back to work at 5 pm on Sunday for another overnight shift....

I'm hoping to squeeze some running in somewhere.

None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.

See the heavyweight world title unification tonight / tomorrow morning

Just finished an open mat, had dinner out Thursday night after a 2 day trade mission event.

Go to work late tomorrow (if at all)

My horse just won The Preakness Stakes! He gunned it out of the gate and ran wire to wire and none of the so-called experts thought he could do it. He is one of the last sons of a very good stallion who died last year, so his stallion value likely just increased a lot. And my betting today went pretty well too.

That must feel wonderful! Yay! congratulations!

Oh, cool... I'd read it!

Planned a 6 mile SUP session this morning. So nice out I went 8.
Prepped the kitchen for granite cts Monday.
Smoked Salmon Alfredo for dinner. 2 fingers of Black Barrel on the dock currently.
OWS in the AM, rake the yard PM tomorrow.

Feeding my racing addiction with course marshaling another race.
This one is the Fanatec GT World Challenge, Pirelli GT4, and two ther series for a weekend full of racing.

Back at work this weekend.

Other than usual feeding out some rodents to snakes and monitor lizards, I just had the opportunity to pat and feed one of the elephants, a couple of white rhinos, and a Goodfellow's tree kangaroo and her joey.

In the three weeks I've been away, the joey seems to have grown noticeably, and is now spending more time outside of her mum's pouch. Goodfellow's are the most beautiful of the macropod species, so the fluffy joey is an overload of cuteness.

Not much. The missus and I both have bronchitis, thanks to the petri dish of an elementary school she work at. You'd think after COVID, parents would have remembered you don't send your sick kids to school because you don't want to fucking deal with them. I swear most parents think school is simply a babysitting service.


I did manage to get some yard work done and put together some new patio furniture before the fever spiked on me again, then spent the rest of the day half asleep on the couch. Shooting for a bit more yard work today, then round two of quality couch time again.

@ironclm, congrats on the big win!

I’ll take you up on that! Careful what you promise ;)

(Thanks. That is meaningful to me)
