Wednesday July. 24

 River is lower this week than last


I get admiring the river and notice it’s a few more feet from shore.  The river is a great spot during the week, absurdly no one is down here at this time.  I’m surprised 😮.



Bryan gets down here near 1:30 I was here about five to one. We stayed til just after 2.

The dog is tuckered out.

Just enjoying this summer heat. I’m having a great day here. Drinking a black label Budweiser. Which is non alcoholic. Lately on hot 🥵 days  I’ve been enjoying a beer 🍺.

Colder days not so much.


There was a big bird flying over head looked very big. Could pick up a dog it looked like.

That big.


Bryan lies down in the river with the dog 🐕.

It got to be a nice day he said it was hot I felt it was a bit cooler with a shirt off.


Having a cigarette 🚬 in the river is a nice 😊 way to relax. 😌 


The dog and I are out side having a beer 🍺 with our selfs. Well the dog isn’t I am.

The dog got a milk bone 🦴.




Sleep 💤 quality for the dog is 80% and we’re way over the dogs active minutes with my walk this morning and visiting Rod in his back yard with the dogs 🐕 running around.

 Got he dog down to the river. I thought I’d go alone but Bryan called me as I was heading there so he came after I got there. A nice surprise to get someone to

Come when I was thinking I  was going alone.


By the sounds of the like you had a peaceful day by the river, enjoying the summer heat and the company of your dog and Bryan. It's nice to have those moments of relaxation and companionship, especially when unexpected. Taking time to unwind and enjoy a beer in such a serene setting can be rejuvenating. Wishing you more moments of tranquility and connection by the river.

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

  🎉 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 🏃‍♂️

  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 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ 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 😅 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. 🏃‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
