The next step was to (finally) put in the sliding glass door. This was facilitated by the section of deck put up right next to the house so it could be carried up to the hole, instead of being hoisted up six feet from the ground level.

Art Work from Chuck E Cheese
In moving through the various items laying around the house, I uncovered some family artwork from a niece's birthday visit to Chuck E Cheese. It is a neat pencil-drawing capture of the family, showing how much has changed in the past 12 years.
Fitness Update: Chill Rate
Saturday was the Personal Record Mile run in Parkville. I didn't set a personal record. That was set last year at 6:51.

Our living spaces are being rearranged, reassigned, as we make the same building an entirely new residence. The house addition, once a playroom, then the dog's den, is now becoming "The Suite", as in the … Continue reading House Redesign: Room Dividers
Fitness update: relaxed
I mentioned on January 1, New Year's Day, that I would give a more fitness updates and goals for 2018. Yet now that I am here, I think I am actually more devoid of goals than I was last year. As I look back on 2017, I had three primary fitness metrics: cycling, running, swimming. … Continue reading Fitness update: relaxed
