The Band is Back Together!

Big day, huge, but not as huge as last night’s breaking news, that and the weather a little later.
I have successfully organized a bedroom for Charlotte upstairs, less a mattress that amazon dropped the ball on.
I managed to get my other weight machine, great for pulling exercises, upstairs…a little later than I wanted, so I pull tomorrow.

I struggled with an Amazon blink video doorbell…for days. I ordered one of these very affordable doorbells and tried to get it to connect. Negative…running a 2.4 ghz wifi network…negative. Get a blink sync block…negative…try another sync block….negative…order a dedicated 2.4ghz extender…nada… fiddle, mess with, read forums, contact tech support, read articles, try this, attempt that…

…negative….

So I figure I’ll try an Arlo camera…I currently have a pile of blink related boxes awaiting an intelcom pickup for return and while I fumble around my desk for a tool to open the arlo box I consider the time I’ve wasted on this frigin doorbell…I haven’t even had a doorbell for the last 15 years.

I ease the arlo out of the box, download the arlo app…take a deep breath… and the arlo is working.

Do not buy an Amazon Blink home security product unless you are looking to catch up to me on grey hair!

What else….I dropped Charlotte and Rhi to meet Syd in Brockville. I will catch up with them on Christmas. A few quiet days to continue getting this house how I want it.
Syd asked me if I wanted some treats…. I told her I was on a diet…diet be damned, she thinks as she hands me this….not a single bit of this has entered the old yap yet.

I’m a sucker for a good butter tart!

While dropping off the kids I stopped at an old friend of mine from BVegas. She said the way I was talking she expected me to be 400 pounds!
I guess I wear mid 230s ok.
It was great to catch up.

And now……the weather.

The band is back together! Krista is ready to throw down and join the 2026 battle of the Bulge. Krista has started a new job, and it seems every single person reporting to her, and her boss is an ultramarathoner. She has to meet them in person in a month and wants to tighten up a few spots. Krista believes she weighs around 165…she currently does not own a scale.

Isn’t that convenient

Choices…..The ice cream is on sale….although still more than that gorgeous pink scale.

ultramarathoner….hell…russett once went non-stop Seinfeld beginning to end. One case of Doritos and 3 24s of Pepsi….and ready to do it again anyday!

Seamus is laying super low….it took years for any search of his name not to present a man blog photo. Time to make him famous!

Deonn, sorry for dragging you into this. I realize now that the post photo is too damn Zexy for you to look away. Back to the meat locker, bud.

Russett starts on January second? Can I see the 220’s by then? I’m up right now….creatine…makes me gain 5 pounds…oh well.

Until next time…say hello to a stranger tomorrow, share that smile.
