Flagstaff Dec 30 – Jan 3


Short week at work, but they’ve allowed me to continue working extra hours  to make up for the unpaid Holiday.  I really hate unpaid holidays.  I wasn’t as diligent about working 10 hour days this time around.  Got a couple of paper cuts that were deep and in bad places so I kept re-opening the cuts.  But I worked some on a new project and had a couple of long days due to actual work.  There really isn’t enough work here for two people.  I would like the work if there was more of it, but spending all day waiting for work is old.  I’ve started working on photo projects in between cases and I managed to complete two books before the security setting were updated and I couldn’t access the website I needed.  It’s a shame though, the larger screens at work make it easier and therefore faster to do the photo work.  I get it, its not what I’m being paid to do…but sitting her doing nothing and waiting for more work super sucks.

  1-10-2021 Corona Cases       21,217,244 Corona Deaths    354,491        1-16-2021 Corona Cases       22,445,517 Corona Deaths    374,825   Interesting things we did this week Sunday I did the Disney Marathon Weekend 10k, and I admit, I kind like doing the Half first and the 10K second.  I averaged at 21:14 minute mile, which wasn’t as good as yesterday, but I was still a little tired and the difference was minimal. Sunday afternoon, Bree and I went to a park in Lakeland.  I haven’t been on a hiking walk for a while, I’ve been very focused on getting in miles and making good times.  We went to the Circle B Bar Reserve.  This is a fantastic park.  People were out in droves.  Walkers, bikers and photographers.  There were some pretty impressive camera set ups there.  I got a bunch of shots: bald eagles, osprey, red sho...

July 2021

July started off with a bang – Hurricane Elsa came up the coast and after much tracking and work warnings, it did virtually no damage.  We barely even got any rain.  Based on the radar, someone was getting it, but it pretty much skipped over us. The weekend before the hurricane we were still getting a bunch of rain.  It limited what we could do and I know Gil likes to go out and do things on the weekend as he spends way too much time in front of the tv during the week.  So we went to a flea market in Lakeland that offered a free circus show and alligator farm on the premises.  The circus performed on two different stages at different times of the day and were basically just local performers with some skill.  There was a girl who had trained cats, a magician, a mime…they were all talented individuals but it was about what you would expect from a free circus.  Gil and I both took our turns to be photographed with a live alligator....

Nov 8, 2020 Coronavirus US Cases    9,731,932 Coronavirus US Deaths  224,752   Nov 14, 2020 Coronavirus US Cases.  10,593,946 Coronavirus US Deaths.  231,803   Interesting things that happened this week Sunday Gil finally did his 5k and earned his Wizard medal and wand.  I was just happy to get it over with.  When I first ordered those I was still just barely completing the 5k distance and was working towards a 10k distance.  Now, I’m doing a 5k (or close to it) every morning before work and doing half marathon distances on the weekend.  It annoyed me to have the package sitting there with our shirts, wands and medals in it.  Now its opened and distributed and I don’t have to worry about it anymore.  After Gils 5k, we went for a beer tasting at a local brewery called 81 Bay Brewing Co.  We got a sample of 4 beers so we each choose 2.  They had no low carb beers so I ended up getting 2 f...
