all right fun so we’ve got about two and a half of maybe three inches of slurry kind of snow I mean it’s kind of decent but kind of not at the same time
and it is Monday December 13th I just dropped off my 17 year old at school and it is time to start making my way back to the homestead I believe my seven-year-old and five-year-old will both be staying home from school as they are fighting the flu we are giving them medicine Etc to work with that we’ve got them on Tamiflu yay finally got that for them a man uh we’re a little seven-year-old has an eye surgery coming up
and we need to make sure that she is healthy so it can happen in this year for medical and not carry on to next year and yeah anyways so
well Triathlon is kind of in the dumper right now but it is going into Christmas time kind of normal so family stuff comes first but uh we started a new project and that started on Friday and we have everything all torn out now everything’s ready to go I’m halfway ready just just to the wall um but last night I finished most of it I got a reroute a little bit of electrical there’s a support beam that I’ve got to work around so
it’s a question of do we make it work since we know that long term we’d like to do slightly other things with it or do we do it right and if the what we’d like to do in the long term doesn’t happen anytime soon then it puts us in a position to be able to sell or whatever if it goes there which who knows that being said
another project that’s why I gotta finish up though um I don’t know that I’ll have the space or the runway to get it done today or tomorrow um but uh good thing is outside of not having uh the double oven we were able to get rid of our double oven we got rid of one of our extra king size mattresses last night the gentlemen that came and grabbed the double stoves was kind of an interesting nice fellow because he’s like hey I’ll come grab that I’ll I’ll even pay you something before we’re like we just bought it out of here um I’m sure we could have probably gotten a little bit more but uh where it’s actively throwing a couple error codes Etc you know if somebody wants to take it on figure why charge them well the guy wouldn’t leave without uh paying something so I took a 20 from him but uh you gotta you know five six seven hundred dollar stove give or take Maybe more I don’t know what it costs but I think this one went in in 2016-ish is kind of where I’m seeing the parts and manuals for so maybe 2017 might have been done right before we moved in um because we bought in 2018 and it’s not that it’s not a good double stove it’s just it’s not the kind of stuff my wife wants she doesn’t like the cooktop to stove kind of mixed it’s not even just that it’s just the way that our kitchen is set up from the 1960s it is just not well planned so anyways we’re starting to make little steps towards that Liz my wife is uh in her the way that she kind of gets this going and this is where we’re going so it is full holiday season we got Hanukkah in a week and then Christmas right after that we did a little bit of Saint Nicholas with the kids they liked that the other night was last week so that was in the fifth into the sixth one week ago and uh yeah so we’re just into the swing of doing things like that um
um as I’ve mentioned a little bit uh kind of dialed back on the importance of Triathlon stuff my wife kind of looked at me yesterday and told me that we need to get back on track which we do um but same thing I’ve been pretty on track so uh we’ll try to get even better and more disciplined so um my wife has been doing a cleaning of sorts on a property so I think she’s gonna jump back into that tonight
and we’ll see where she goes with that I’ve got to get current with some work stuff because next week I am out and I think really I’m kind of out for the rest of the year but I need to look at my vacation numbers and stuff because it’s kind of nice with currently with where I’m at with work because I get 25 days I think it is I have to look at it around 240 hours maybe a vacation so that’s 40 hours per five days um
and so I believe 20 because that would be four
yeah I gotta look at that calculation because that might be I thought it was only at 25 days
that’s why we come to a hard stop person
the fun part about snow driving out here in Northern Utah and Cache Valley is the blend of all the different people from the different places in the world and most of them from right here that struggle with driving in the snow and apartment complexes and students trying to get to school and parents trying to get their kids to school parents running late parents trying to get to their places of work etc I’m just grateful that I have what I have hopefully it doesn’t go anywhere soon there’s a lot of
potentials for changes our organizations are blending and so it’s interesting to kind of kind of or to take the hot takes of everybody I’m still kind of in the I just don’t know I don’t have enough information yet I’m waiting and seeing the things that I do see that’s the first time in a long time that I felt that I am nervous um from the work angle uh so just being mindful paying attention I don’t want to be the person that just keeps coming up with problems because that’s not what I want to do I’d like to at the end of the day I like to what happened on the studs thing is like you know he was in his uh psychology practice young and wanted to give somebody something that they could just walk away you know from a meeting with a therapist and have uh an action item that they can start moving towards something that might start the healing or uh process of helping them you know the reason they’re in therapy and start them moving in the direction of potentially healing if that was is an option or um you know getting them down the road so they’re just not spiraling the other way or um having to have more reasons to come and talk to a therapist um and that’s what we do in my business and my practice at work is at the end of the day we’re just trying to help identify Pathways for the institutions we interact with to be able to see that one here are their opportunities for improvement whatever those may be and then two provide them help or a path or an opportunity on how to move forward like in the now so um I’m not a big person on low hanging fruits I don’t like that phrase most of the time that just means that it’s gonna be something that’s more problematic down the road because they’re not systemically looking at the foundation um but of course if we can find things that you can kind of take a initial hey this and it’s helpful and for the long term of whatever they’re trying to to improve Etc it doesn’t cause any other Downstream problems why not well yeah it’s fun to watch all these different people um trying to circumnavigate through uh with snow because some of them they drive the same and many of them Drive worse and uh at least we got the gravel and sand trucks out and then some scraping happening and hopefully you know accidents as I just see these people slide and
have problems so all right let’s do this need to get some stuff from here at the market and then get on my way
