8r4d This morning’s #coffee house writing efforts brought to you by something other than Starbucks for a change. The extra fifty cents for my brew might be worth it for the upgrade in atmosphere.

8r4d An early morning #running sesh in 25C temps to beat the #heat for what is looking to be a 35C day and my planned route thru the shade was blocked off by a police zone in the woods and on a nearby path. Hmmm.

8r4d This gives new meaning to the term “field work” doesn’t it? #keyboard #writing #summer

8r4d While most of the #runcrew was off in the mountains sweeping up the last couple legs of Sinister 7, a few of us stayed behind for some Sunday #running in the #rain followed by the regular coffee meetup.

8r4d The girls set out on a solo #kayak adventure this morning, tho my adventure involved trying to wrangle the air pump to cooperate and inflate the darned thing. Hopefully they can read the map I drew so where they exit the #river and where we park the car later match up. #rivervalley

#flashback of our european vacay last year where one year ago today we were hanging out in the south of France and on the beaches of Nice.

8r4d #icecream and #bookstore on a #summer friday evening in the #whyteavenue

8r4d We’ve been living thru a week-long #heatwave and a brief reprieve came this evening in the form of a #thunderstorm that passed by. I ran around the house opening all the doors and windows hoping to get some air flow going on so that we could bring the temperature of the indoors down to something tolerable. The Kid slept in the basement last night because while we have a little portable air conditioner for our bedroom, she was sleeping in a sauna in her regular bed. I say this now, but I’ll take freezing cold over too hot any day of the week.

8r4d To beat the +30C #heat or morning #walk was earlier than usual today.

8r4d I have spent a good chunk of my day writing #code here. You may or may not realize this, but the code running this little website upon which you are reading these words (at least at the time of posting them) is a little applet I created from scratch to organize and share pictures, words and other media bits in a way that was intended to be similar to some other #socialmedia platforms you may be familiar with already.
