Started the week
Day 81

Day 80
I’m back from the weekend camping trip. It was a short stay. I got a little better at packing. The weather was warm, relatively speaking. It was a little bit above freezing through the trip and was quite comfortable. There were three of us. I had my fun. We arrived a little late, I think 8:30 or 9:00 pm. (more…)

We have been waiting since last weekend for snow when it was supposed to snow and it has been pushed back to today. (more…)

End of the week already
Day 75
I can’t remember much what happened the last few days. I did about four miles run over three days. It was not that much. Monday, did I run? If not I don’t remember why. Probably it was the weather and I stayed in to read/catch up on my manga. I am a recent convert to be a manga fan from anime. (more…)
