Doing:
Up early to get SWMBO and Little Mr to the Zoo Run this morning. SWMBO did the 4 miles, Little Mr did the 1 mile. Not a bad morning for it, and they enjoyed their runs. Twigged my left somethingsomething knee ligament, so hobbled for a bit, but seems like it's just a strain.

Working:
No work today, other than the continuous storm inside my head.

Reading:
Finished "All the President's Men" last night. Whoa.

Thinking:
There's a something brewing.

Working:
Much more sane without the 3 hours in traffic. Finally nailed down the Business Objects problem, but a fix, a fix is more complicated.

Home:
Moved a couch out of the living room last night, off to the donation sale @ the parents-in-law church. Much internal cursing. Dog got ball thrown a lot for him, so he's happy.

Doing:
W4D2 down.

Thinking:
Need to pick up "all the president's men" from the library.

9/18/2018

Working:
Wednesday was supposed to be a work day. Instead it was 3 hours in traffic and some work in between. Good discussions about some automation tasks, and lots of frustration around the Business Objects platform.

Home:
Helped little mr with math homework, then cattleprodded him to take care of some chores. Didn't do much else


Doing:
Off day on C25K


Thinking:
Finished "The Show That Never Ends", Dave Weigel's volume on progrock. Pretty interesting read.

9/15/2018

Working:
Saturday, so did some thinking about a great question an old friend asked about an article I wrote on metrics.

Home:
Need to see if there's still a water hammer, but I think I'll end up working on the yard today.

Worked on the yard. Too hot.

Doing:
W3D2 of C25K done.

Took a bit of a break from blogging, trying to get some normalcy back into my days, but also thinking through what I wanted to write about.  Going to move from a straight chronological retelling of my day to more of a narrative.

Working:
Sort of bitsy day. Patch imports, troubleshooting missing agents, taking a peek into the inner workings of the SA agent. Lockdowns are such silly things.

Home:
Seems that the water hammer I've been dealing with is all around the stupid builder grade shutoff valve on the upstairs toilet. Finally replaced that yesterday (ick - boy toilet!) and everything seems to have calmed down. No banging (knock on wood)

Need to tinker on a couple more projects: finish off the boy's room with the power strip - do I dare venture into the Little Man Cave?

Doing:
W3D1 of C25K done. Nothing hurts too bad: it was the 1.5/1.5/3/3/3/3 day, and everything seemed to go OK. off tomorrow, then on saturday repeat.
Diet has been OK. I do wonder if I'm not quite eating enough.

Labor Day (Labour).

Up ridiculously early. Watered flowers as the dog sniffed around out front.

Breakfast and coffee.

Threw balls for dog. Greeted boy as he arose after his sleepin. Got him fed, changed his sheets / lightly cleaned his room, then he was occupied with electronic distractions.

Changed our own sheets, and then pottered around in the garage. Light cleaning up, organizing, retrieving SWMBO's bicycle and the carrier for it ready for tuning up.  Wilted a bit, it was hot in the garage.

A bit of a lie down, then lunch, and then the boy had lunch.

RoR: CRUD / database operations are exactly what I want to tinker with, so I think I have a solid means to do what I want @ work.

Power went out for a solid minute or so, all recovered.

Set up database server for consolidated development work - Postgres.

Dinner
