Happy 4th of July!!!
After last night I was a little sore, not sure why, probably from hauling the chairs. Grabbed a basic breakfast sandwich and an energy drink and headed north to David and Keli’s place. Got there around noonish and spent the the afternoon in the pool. David, Keli, Johnny, Katie, Jeff, and Richard were the adults…

Hurst Stars & Stripes
It’s the third of July but the town is celebrating it today so we actually took the eBikes to it this year. I strapped a cooler to my bike and we threw the chairs on our backs and headed out, got there about 6:30 and sat in the sun for about 2 hours before the…

Dinosaur Valley State Park
This is where my sister, mom, and I scattered my dad’s ashes on Father’s Day in 2014 (I think) so I’ve actually been here before. Prior to that, I had been to Glen Rose. It was a place where Dad took us and I believe a place he lived in his childhood. I remember swimming…

Record Breaking Bike Ride
19.55 miles is my new longest bike ride of the modern era. Sandy and I went biking on the Cotton Belt Trail mostly. We started in NRH and went 8.2 miles west into Colleyville. I was mostly manual on the way out and then e-biked it back. A good time was had by all.

Perot Museum Field Trip
The KC Chiefs are the Superbowl champs and it was a nail-biter of a game. I was happy about the outcome. While the 9ers were an amazing football team through the season, they just haven’t paid their dues. A big payment was made last night and they’ll be back. Sandy and I went to exercise…

Adrian’s Birthday
Although it was technically last Sunday, we all got together to celebrate Adrian’s birthday today. It also happens to be Hanna’s boyfriend’s (Mike) birthday. I didn’t realize that but it makes sense, I’ve already called it that Mike and Hanna are going to get married and his birthday falls on the same as her dad…

Job Searching & Biking
I finally think I have a system to start applying to jobs en masse. I created a share on the NAS and will have a main sheet to track applications and keep copies of the posting and what resume I sent. I really need to pay attention to what I’m sending out as I caught…

Lunch at Saltgrass
What a nice day, despite the fact that it didn’t get above 36 today, it was nice to go out with the family to celebrate mom’s and my birthday’s at Saltgrass Steakhouse in Bedford. We went at 2pm so it was nice and quite with barely anyone there. Sandy, mom, and I had the steak…
