June 90th birthday

 


Kim and I go for a boat ride

Go around a lake for a couple hours😊

My brother and his family waked boarded and the nieces and nephew seemed to have lots of fun 🀩 

We went on paddle boards, that’s more my speed with my weight. I do have a wake board but I haven’t used it since my kiteboarding days.


I get out and fell in the water πŸ’§ about three times.  Water is nice temperature and we went for a swim 🏊‍♂️ off the boat a bit later.


We get out and enjoy 😊 some summer fun out side on Sunday.

On Saturday we enjoyed my grandpa playing in a band for his birthday πŸ₯³ .


An enjoyable event,  nice to get a church location to let us use there building.  The church even put up a sign on there billboard wishing him a happy birthday πŸŽ‚.  I thought that was very fun.


The aunts and uncles put lots of work into the event, and it looked like everyone had a fun time.  It’s stellar that we could be there for it.

A fun event,

After Kim and I got to the hotel and fell asleep early.  With my meds I get tired in summer heat quickly.


 

Kim and I had fun, a nice get away, we saw her family for breakfast at smittys on Sunday also.


We stayed a extra night at the trailer by the cabin after and was very special that my uncle could set us up for the night.  Made going back on the QEII easier on a Monday morning than on a Sunday Night.


We staying in the trailer is a fun time, fresh air and birds πŸ¦… woke me up early at about 5:12.  We were on the road by 8.


Kim still has lots of photos on her camera.  I might be able to get them off her in a bit.

Kim took a photo of some big pelicans on the lake.


She tried to make lots of nature shots.


She did take a few photos of the family, with her photography camera.

Lots of the family was excited to get those photos.

And Kim showed them off on her labtop.


Hopefully will get to see family soon again, in travels there or here.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run πŸƒ‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

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...

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...
