Days off, in January

 


Joe and I get out in the blowing wind 🌬️ 

Walking the coulee, I pick up a fruit quencher from toms also a coffee ☕️ for later.

I find coffee ☕️ so hot πŸ₯΅ I buy it black cause my tongue πŸ‘… gets hairy when I drink it with cream.

And I can never drink it when I buy it.

So I got a second drink 🍹.


Getting out early hour we saw the sunrise just before our commute.  And the sky was a beautiful set of colours.


Later in the day I get a photo of both bridges πŸŒ‰ looking over the coulee.  Wind made my eyes tear up and nose run. Yet I had an incredible time same with the dog. πŸ• she loved πŸ₯° the walk.


The moon πŸŒ• disappeared from the sky around 10:09 this morning so we managed to see it before it went away.

You’ll see it in the photo above πŸ‘† between the two guys looking over the coulee since Rita in the west side of the sky this time of day.


So early that the buildings are still hovering the coulee  in a shadow.

Next month will be wondering if the ground hog will see its own shadow and how much winter ❄️ we have left.

That warm wind made all the snow disappear quickly.


A photo trying to get Dixie in the photo but she turned away to look at Joe.

I had a pleasure walking with him, and the dog was full of excitement. This is my kind of fun 🀩 walking the dog πŸ•.

She a good 😊 

Dog πŸ• every one says and it’s kind of a hit or miss for what you get.

Happy 😊 to shared this walk with her.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day out in the open! Taking a refreshing walk with your dog, enjoying the changing sky, and experiencing the small details in nature can be really rejuvenating. It's great that you got to take in the beauty of the sunrise and even catch the sight of the moon before it disappeared. And it's lovely to see that you appreciated the time spent with your furry friend. Keep on enjoying those moments and making the most of your time outdoors.

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...
