And now what did you do TODAY?

Kayaking the Loxahachee River:

Watch out for the gators, Mike.

We has a Gator in each boat and this one hanging around:

Besides work haven't made it out of the house a lot lately, but to celebrate Mother's Day took the family to Picchetti Winery in the Santa Cruz Foothills. Found a nice meadow in the neighboring open space reserve for a little picnic. Was great. No gators though.

Did the Mother's Day celebration with my in-laws who were up for my wife's Bat-Mitzvah, we all went (with my niece on my wife's side) to a very nice brunch in Cambridge, MA. Then dropped off the in-laws at the airport, and off a bit to the North End of BostonFinally, home and dinner (fresh homemade pasta for wife and son, sliced Hot Sopresatta and cheese for me....yummage).

It was a very nice day, except for one part where I slightly pissed off my wife. Almost 17 years of marriage, and I'm still not fully trained.....

Nice! picnic + winery > kayaking with gators.

I pulled about 40 wood ticks off the dogs last night. They died in the flames (one more advantage to having a wood stove in the house). This year's tick season is brutal.

I'm about to leave on the train for a few days in Edmonton. I've got to pull something out of my arse for a meeting with my graduate supervisor tomorrow morning, but after that I'm looking forward to re-visiting some of my old haunts in the university area. I might try to buy an old discman from a guy there as well, if I can get in touch with him - he was selling a D-777 last I checked.

Went to Canadian Tire today to pick up a cordless phone that doesn't suck. Saw a whole line of the same 1.9ghz suckery at the store. Left disappointed.

Scheduled an eye appointment for Thursday afternoon. Not related to the whole "bug-flew-in-eye-and-fucked-my-cornea's-shit-up" fiasco.

I'm going to switch back to glasses after going with contacts exclusively for the last 11-12 years. Might split time between the two, but I hope to really use the glasses more because I'm getting tired of contacts.

Cooking a pork shoulder on the grill (rottiserie) at my best friends house. Having a bottle share while we wait...so far we've had Heady Topper.

It's nice to relax like this after a long day at work.

[Dreadhead]

Got on the scale and saw a number below 240 lbs for the first time in 7 months or so. Progress.

[shellylh]

Sounds fun Raffy!

Congrat Chris! Losing weight is a real bitch if you don't like starving.

Saw this on the way home today. Trucks and trees don't mix.

^ He must have really been moving to cause that much damage. My guess is he's not an owner/operator!

I've found that I really have to be careful not to get too far off of the interstate system in my motorhome which is 13'2" high (built on a Volvo semi truck chassis). Plus, it's 84 feet long counting the trailer which is almost always attached. So I don't have nearly the tight turning radius that these guys do. That, and they couldn't give a shit if they scratch up anything but their cabs, and that goes even for the owner/operators.

There's a falling asleep at the wheel joke here somewhere.

Hey!!! That had nothing to do with tree branches!!!

I forget what some of you people know sometimes... too funny.

I was wearing my UE10s and listening to an unfamiliar Beatles song. The last thing I remember, prior to seeing the turn that I could not possibly make... was that I was wondering to myself, "Is that George singing the lead? What a shame... they really bullied him around a lot... he being the youngest... never got his fair share of the spotlight... it was always John and Paul..."

Good job! I was over 260 lbs in october and I'm below 215 now. My goal is 200, but it's going slower now. It's not easy if you have the wrong metabolism.

Lightweights!

[Dreadhead]

Good work Larry glad to see you're keeping it up. Yes my metabolism, appetite and height combination is a recipe for being a huge guy but I'm glad to be finally progressing back to where I want to be. The goal is 210 which isn't too bad at 6'5", I'd like lower but I'd be happy there.

Last night I found out that a woman I've known since second grade died of cancer earlier this year. She was scarcely a month older than myself. She left behind her husband and two young children. I hadn't seen her in years, but I'm pretty saddened by the news.

[grawk]

tested what will potentially be my new commute. It's a really nice drive. I could handle that every day, I think.

[Salt Peanuts]

Came home to find my daughter all scratched up on side of her head/face from a fall she had while running. I know it looks a lot worse than it actually is, but still breaks my heart to see her all scratched up.

Heal quickly little one.
