Monday the sixth of February

 A walk through some trees 🌲 


Walking we stop for 2 cups of coffee.  Bryan and I start talking about buying Kim steak πŸ₯© and lobster 🦞 for Valentine’s Day.

She’s having a hard time.

And Bryan and I thought πŸ’­ it be saving money than going to the restaurant.

I think I might go pick up propane today and get ready for it. When ever there is a nice weather cooperating.


Dixie jumps on the bench.

We walk a 3.6 km walking around and stopped at Kim and I favourite coffee house.

Five dollars for two cups of coffee. I got the second cups and Bryan got the first couple.


We’re tired but thinking of making a frozen meal and doing it again.  Walking another six K steps.


Dixie is supper happy.



I wish Kim and I could do these walks

Although Dixie needs two to three walks a day. So if when could share the walking she would be one happy πŸ• 



By the fire πŸ”₯ hall.

Dixie got to go off leash, she enjoyed a bit of freedom.

Not to muddy and a bit of a wind πŸ’¨.

Dixie had had a fun time running far but looking back to run back to the pack.



People dumped there tree limbs in the back lane.  

Which was infuriating with how the city does such a good job cleaning tree branches and making it into mulch for the city.


Dixie running around

Enjoying her runaround


I made sure our ☕️ coffee cups made it to the proper spots after. Bit like the empty cannabis or vaping devices left on the ground abandoned for the city to pick up.

Makes me disappointed in my use of nicotine.  I’d never touch cannabis with my health. It make me sick 🀒.


I get home with a nice steak’s πŸ₯© for Valentine’s Day.




Kim asked for steak on Facebook so it sort of came into planning stages to get ready for it. Did I get rib eye steak πŸ₯©. Why yeah. I did.

So yeah it’s steak that does not get BBQ sauce on it, just salt and pepper and some tenderizing vinger.


Heck if it was for kids I’d say yeah get round steak and make it with BBQ sauce.

They wouldn’t know the difference from rib eye to round any way.

But if it is rib eye, then that’s got to be with salt and pepper. And bbq sauce would be great with it.

I went and picked up a bottle of propane and got that ready

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...
