2025 Taxes Filed

Felt so good to get it done, took couple hours, son also got his done.

Bad news is my weight is over 320 again, need to get aggressive with the workout tomorrow.

But I did look at my financial goals, kind of there and doing well.

Tulip Festival 2026

This year we left home at 8AM and got there a hair earlier. It was a good move because we were in between rain squals

Nice day though.

I recall Toto started to go downhill after this trip. Not blaming the trip, but just noting it.

Got some nice photos, ice cream etc.

Did get my mile there, and like last year we were all exhausted when we got home.

I took a nap at about 3PM woke up at 6:30PM was tired.

Son Helping Me Workout

Had today off, but at about 3PM we went to the Y to beat the after work crowd.

He ran next to me in a treadmill explaining interval training.

Then spotted and provided guidance when doing some weight training.

We both took naps when we got home. Almost walked in the dark again.

But I did get a sunset view.

Big Weekend

Got another decent run today on the treadmill, not as great as I was hoping but not bad either. It is relatively easy for me to stay above 3MPH.

Two huge things, tulip festival and taxes.

Need to especially get the taxes done.

Maybe commit to cleaning early, like on Saturday after tulips.

Custom CP2102 Enclosures

Purchased a 4 pack of CP2102 enclosures

I printed some enclosures for them, didn’t quite fit, but with a bit of slicer magic I was able to get it to work.

2 have just RX TX and Ground, the other two I made into ones that have 3.3V and 5V

Protects them and harder to lose.

I was going to hit the gym today, but other half and I went to Federal Way to get some groceries from an Asian store.

We almost made it back in time for me to make it to the gym but I was too late.

Need to go tomorrow and Friday.

Getting Tired Again

Maybe it was the aggressive workout yesterday, or sleeping 7 hours instead of 8, but woke up kind of tired today.

Wasn’t sleepy, but body was sore.

Just got my mile walk and I was going pretty darn slow.

Mostly work today, didn’t do any personal tech worth writing about.

What A Day

Fast moving Monday, one of those days next thing you know it was done.

Also I did finally finish the NAS box, just some minor touches left.

I did have to raid the JBOD prototype for cables, ordered more but I want to call this project done. Note that cables are more expensive then the JBOD itself.

I did hit the gym and did a walk as well, weight shows it.

Well Hello There Sun, Long Time No See

Repost from Facebook

Sometimes you enter the weekend with plans to clean the garage, sort through boxes in the basement, do paperwork like taxes.

Then the sun does something nice and your plans get derailed.

Pretty much did nothing today but enjoyed life.

Finished with a beautiful evening walk.

Good Friday 2026

Posting at about 11:37PM, got 23 more minutes before I can eat.

Did another fasting for Good Friday.

Still worked today, was tired for most of the day. But got a bit done regardless. Going to have to catch up this weekend. Still busy.
