Work was busy in the morning. We were grinding away until lunch. My coworker has a sick child at home running a high fever for the 3rd day. He began showing signs of getting sick so I am sure I will be doomed as well. Fortunately he already planned not to come in tomorrow. I hope my day is a peaceful one.

Work gave me a 3% raise, woohoo! Every little bit helps. We have been a little bit busy and that is good. Hopefully this weekend will be filled with good weather and more gopro action! We are going to make more hiking videos that you can imagine.

Work was busy and I was spending some time on the ladder today. It was OK except we had to re-do some things that should have been laid out better. Tomorrow we should finish and all will be right. I am getting excited thinking about the weekend already. More go pro for sure, lol.

AM:
45 min elliptical machine

Work today was not too crazy, though we did get a trouble call for on a cutover weekend for a request we completed on May 22! How did you just now notice is twas not working? Really?

So I never posted my wife’s bounty from the garden yesterday. She harvested sweet potatoes!

and ofcourse we made videos too

and to really get crazy, here is our video from hiking at Lubber Run park.

AM:
Short hike at Lubber run park.

I was tired, a bit hung over and I did not get a great night of sleep so we did not journey far. We still had fun though. Working the videos on the computer is very taxing on the system running the Processor at 85 to 99% capacity so it takes time to get through the video editing and uploading process. I have had the computer running for hours today to get the 2 block party videos online and now I have the hike and Miriam’s gardening videos to get through as well. I will look into a faster processor ( the computer is a few years old) and some additional ram but that will only help so much, but any improvement will be a help, this computer is still running great and does everything else that it needs to do. I do not think I could afford a proper video editing computer that would be fast, I think that would be over 1,000 dollars for sure, and maybe over 2,000 for a decent one. A couple 100 on a new processor and ram will fit the budget much better, and besides, this computer can process the videos, just not quickly.

AM:
45 min elliptical machine

Today was the block party. It was great! I may have had a few too many adult beverages throughout the day, so I expect I will not be feeling the best tomorrow, but today was fun! My chicken bites were a hit again. honey mustard, hot, and extremely hot ones ones. They were a all gone! We had a feast later in the day after the minigolf tournament, and during the Cornhole tournament. I did really good this timeout. My team won our 2 matches but everyone else quit playing so we did not face a 3rd or 4th team. I was in the zone, I was putting the beanbags through the hole a few times. What a great day.
