Evie Day 452
Good morning, and a happy beginning of the work week for most of you (except for my friend Dan, who always works on the weekends and Wednesday is usually his Friday). Today is 10 June 2024.
I am bringing a little needed structure into my life this week. I’ve got another certification exam later this week, so I need to create study blocks that fit into my current meeting schedule and try to sneak in sessions with every lab in a course that I couldn’t get to a couple of weeks ago. I need to punch this one out on Thursday, it’s been a goal of mine for some time.
I also need to spend a little quality time in front of the microphone today to record a short bit for work.
We had a good weekend around here, with intermittent rain. Lisa and I both anticipated breaking out the new Father’s Day present she got for me, so the old Woodfire grill/smoker got a final run with a pork shoulder on Friday afternoon and on Saturday night, we broke out the new Woodfire Grill Pro Connect XL with WiFi and Bluetooth. I love looking down, opening up the app on my phone, and checking the internal temperature of whatever I have going on the grill. I received a little gift from work, the intent was “spend this money on a good time with the family”. I picked up some really nice steaks, plugged in the temperature sensors, and hit a perfect center of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Medium-rare would be 130-135, but 140 was on the low end of medium… and those steaks were beautiful… no leftovers.
I’m going to love this new grill.
Sunday I got together with the guys for a while, and we worked on some characters for a new campaign. The intent is that this will be a little more of a self-serving group rather than a group of good guys. It’s been a long time since I played a thug, but we’ll give it a shot. This new character is just hired muscle, and from his stats and skill blocks, he appears to be rather formidable. We’ll see how this goes.
Well, the studying for this upcoming exam is not going to take care of itself.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
