Busy as usual. Friday I schmibbed home to join the fam celebrate Mom’s b-day. BBQ rib eyes, chocolate cake, and the normal shenanigans. The kids did another excellent job with the cake, they’re getting good at it! Good way to kick off the weekend.
Saturday I headed up to the B’ham. Hadn’t been up there since [...]

A new indoor session has begun. We got some of the gang to get back out and play, which is awesome. We kicked off the new session playing the team that beats everybody rather easily. Even though we lost 5-0, we played well all things considered. We had fun and got a good workout for [...]

It was the 4th year for team Blitz to enter the Ski to Sea up in the Bellingham area. I was in the canoe for the second time and second year in a row. The water level was lower than usual, especially when they predicted abnormally high waters. The snow just didn’t melt like they [...]

For reasons of both function and fashion - I am in the process of making a new fish tank stand. This will allow me to better organize my cable mess and prevent the power boards from hopefully ever getting wet again. I’m a slow learner, but after a handful of times of getting zapped, I [...]
