Dinner out to Smitty's

Kim is interested in photography πŸ˜€

I sit down after a day of a interview πŸ™‚.

More days of applying to jobs, and responding to emails. This morning I had an interview at 10 am.

Lately I've been having many people ask if I want a job.  Which is a nice feeling.

So originally when I am excited for things I have to wake up at 5 am.

Walked the dog, also did  πŸ’― push-ups before 8 am.



That made an the day much more enjoyable.  Coming home to a less anxious dog πŸΆπŸ•.

I dropped in a gathering and I heard about unsweetened  canned pumpkin that dogs love that treat.

Lately she's been having bites of my bagel and cream cheese when I get hungry before bed.

Any way, we get home after a delicious meal.

A $43 meal with out tip.

Kim tells the server how pretty her necklace is and says she needs one.

Breakfast for supper type of meal, ☺️ I find it hard to understand how Smitty's is usually empty when we go, which makes nice socializing if your usually anxious in large crowds.  But ones got to wonder πŸ€” how long that'll last.

Yet our meal was spectacular.  And the serve always had a smile when she came up.

I took Kim out for a change, since I'm applying for this position.  Looks as if all the afternoon with checks or application screening.  It looks hopeful, which is a nice feeling.


Afterward I have a filtered cigar, that most the time I don't inhale but retro inhale.  So my mouth absorbs the nicotine.

Yet one or two puffs I do.

The hose is laid out, as u watered well into the night last night, with how dry our grass gets.  I was up till 11 past night trying to get all the spots the sprinklers been missing.

And a climbing rope for a dog leash, πŸ™‚ it's sort of hidden by the chairs.

And the planter.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
