Good morning everybody!

Thank you for the well wishes yesterday.

I think that today is going to be a pretty easy day. I am going to take advantage of the down time to run out and get my haircut. Probably run out to Crossfit after that. 10:00 to 12:15 is open gym and I usually go to that on Tuesday's. I have a call at 3:30, but not much else on the schedule at this point.

Marilyn was able to get all of the screws out of the boards from my lifting platform, so we are in good shape to load up the truck on Sunday morning.

The tulips from the mall came up yellow and pink, so far. There are some that have not bloomed yet, so we don't know whether they will be the same colors or something different. Anyways' they are pretty and we will definitely do the food donation again this year if we are around.

QOTD: Sometimes I do, but I don't know if it actually correlates to being lucky, or whether it is just a felling.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Fajitas

Dinner: Sausage

have a great day, all!

Morning gang. Woke up to a little rain, but it is supposed to get sunny and into the 70's today. Irvin put a 2001 F-350 frame on-line this past weekend to see if he could sell it instead of junking it as it's in very good condition and sure enough someone contacted him and came out last night to look at it. The guy was impressed at how straight it was plus there was zero rot on it. He was asking $1500 and the guy offered $1200 so he took it. He also junked some dirty aluminum he had and made another $280.

Then I had gone to the farm stand to get some milk and the owner Megan was there. She gave me a free 1/2 gallon on the house because she didn't have room in the refrigerator plus I also bought one.

And to top off the day I got a 3.5% raise. Yea Monday was a win all the way around. Wish everyday was like yesterday.

QOTD: Do you ever feel lucky? There have been times in the past that yes, I have felt that the stars or whatever have aligned in my favor. A few times it has been on lottery scratch tickets where I had won $250 and then $500. Other times it has been things like that happened yesterday. Would love to be lucky all the time every day, but I'm happy when even little things go right.

B: coffee and a slice of quiche

L: lamb and ham pieces

D: turkey and gravy

30 minutes on the treadmill 10 minutes on the vibration platform

Have a great day everyone!!!

I lived on protein powders the first few years. I wore out three Magic Bullets which was the popular personal blender back then. I also had an ice cream maker and made tons of protein ice creams. And made high protein muffins and cookies out of flaxseed. I have some protein powder in the house but rarely use it now. Some of the premixed shakes are really good and I keep some in the refrigerator in case I want something quick and easy.

Happy Birthday, Jim!!!

Good morning, everyone!

I haven't updated my ticker yet, but I'm a year older today. Next year is a big one.

We had a great weekend - birthday celebration on Saturday night, got my lifting platform disassembled, and lamb lollipops for dinner last night. Also a good workout on Saturday morning, with the warm weather we can run outside again.

This should be an easy week. Next week (4/28) should be very busy though. We have multiple levels of firm leadership coming into town for various reasons and between meetings, etc. I have to be in the office 4 straight days and go to a dinner on Monday night. I actually reserved a hotel room one night because its just too much back and forth.

QOTD: I didn't try the powders. Every now and then I think about having a Premier Protein just for old times sake. I'm pretty well nourished though.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: catered

Dinner: steak and salad

Have a great day everyone!
