I took the day mostly off in prep for my birthday tomorrow… It was great. Dean and I got out for a short ski along the river sure it was beautifully sunny even though it was about 14° the whole neighborhood seem to be outside. It was nice to see folks from a distance.
Of the day working on several TechTogether projects around the house…. Trying to knock down my backlog of fun projects before they become in fun.
After dinner we cut into the wonderful birthday cheesecake that wonderful Lauren and wonderful John gave me yesterday… Just the first of a couple of cakes….
Nice day… Woke up grumpy though. Not sure it’s work or my birthday or some thing. But I manage to work my way through it. We got out for a short ski with John, Lorin , belle and ‘Kyle on a golf course.… It was nice and flat so I liked it. I’ve decided I don’t like going up or down on cross country skis… But this was really pretty
Later on today we decided we would try to watch the Super Bowl. We made some pretty spectacular vegetarian junk food… Diane made buffalo style cauliflower with blue cheese and I made nachos… They were delicious
I tried to make myself watch the game but I really couldn’t get into it… So I spent the time trying to work on the wireless in the house.… I dropped in every once in a while when they were commercials on which is the part I like
One other surprise for the weekend is that Diane noticed this morning that a Small tree had fallen on our house. Nothing was broken but the tree and actually split so we’re gonna have to get somebody to come out and pull it off so it doesn’t hit a power line, the fiber optic to the house or the heat pump.
A few minutes ago I had the thought of checking the time lapse from the camera outside and sure enough I was able to find the moment the tree hit the roof. Here it is
OK… Tomorrow’s my birthday eve. Talk to you then
Beautiful day.. tons of snow and blue skies . Kyle dropped us off on notch road and we snowshoed back 5,6 miles on duck brook trail. We were the first ones through in knee deep and deeper snow .. sometimes waists deep. It took us 4.5 hours for what normally takes us 3 hours .. it was an Incredible workout ..
Bittersweet moment today .. I got a new phone … an iPhone 12 Pro. That’s a sweet thing .. the ‘bitter ‘ is that I’m walking away from
My trusty iPhone 8’s .. it wasn’t so much that phone but the case max made for me back when I carried an iPhone 6s .. must be 5 years (ah it was http://johncohn.org/base/2015/12/25/friday-night-laser-cut-day/). I had to machine it out to fit the different phones . That case has been with me in over 30 countries and about a million miles .. it’s taken more than 100,000 pictures .. that’s an old friend. I’m keeping it but just won’t carry it every day
Max Machine did have a solid block of Stainless steel… It has a genius set of latches that hold it in without screws. It’s been dropped and thrown and left in hotels and airplanes and survived all of that. It has a great laser cut image Image of my
Totem animal the squid on it. It’s probably pretty good luck.
