17 th mai ( Leacock alum s )

 the 'outlook ' here and not at home. Foggy and still 

6:40 AM and awake. Thus. put coffee on.

Using an automatic machine, I boiled water and drip fed the coffee basket. Near the end, I added a cup of bottled water to the reservoir and hit ' on '

Coffee. Strong. way strong. But drinkable and got better as I sipped away.

Visibility. is 40 m. I guess b / c I'm not sure how you do the test 

But slept sound and comfy. I prepped a comforter and second blanket BUT slept wrapped in the comforter b / c we were in the basement next to the gas fireplace 

I'm upstairs now and it's a good temperature here as well 

OK what s w / the boiling water using a drip machine. Well, the first water that the machine produces is getting warm. Then its hot after that 
thus. the really hot water ' blooms ' the coffee grounds, and then the following water is hot too.
I did add some bottled water at the end to get the hotplate warming.

Fog gone and a warmish day.

🍭 ... the ' boro om mai 13

 đŸ­ ... when it rains it pours .... as last night. rain was ricocheting off the roof.

dmpish out there w / little wind evidence

errata : yes, even I make mistakes. The story of JHU at Cornell and the hotel situation.
The hotel that was booked originally, couldn't seat the team and support staff for meals.
THEN Milliman moved the 2 bus loads of JHU to the Statler, biggest and classiest hotel in Ithaca and yes, the team changed in the hotel and walked out to the field.
Still a really sharp move.
Plus instead of hustling to the field, the players trailed along after an injured defender as he used his crutches.
Class that

WHEN YOU DAY DOES NOT INCLUDE SPLITTING the ATOM
at the store you buy shoe polish and find 1 / 8 oz painted jig heads for $ 2.43 red tag and the other packages say $ 6.
come home throw together bean vermicelli and left overs for Wednesday chow mein

🧙 hi, World ....

 đŸ§™ .....  glad that you could make it ....
                   hello Leacock peeps !

' boro gets sun. air mostly still. Alrighty .... so coffee and typing
let the day unfold

Previously, I mentioned Johns Hopkins travelling to Peter Milliman s former coaching post at Cornell. I found a podcast re: lacrosse and specifically addressing the weekend games which were the round of 16. The storyline is that Cornell [ Ithaca, NY ] is way the hell and gone. Isolated and a nightmare for visiting teams.
E.g. the rumour is the visiting team s dressing rooms are distant from the field. It appears that Milliman pre - thought this difficulty AND chose the hotel across the street from the field. The Bluejays dressed for the game in the hotel and walked over to the field.

follow up : exercise. the every second day routine. Thus approx 3 times per week. Goal, get a good sweat in.
Cardio and strength but a smidgen of flexibility, basically,variety.
Originally, I would have mentioned discipline, vigour and improvement.
In reality. For about three years, the ' workout ' has shortened in length coming down from 45 min to 35 min.
BPM avg is now 111 to 116, c.f. 118 - 121. Bear in mind the target zones do fall in number w / age.
What s left is discipline and a continuation of effort for satisfaction. 
In comparison, some folks think of walking as ' exercise ' not a workout which I like to claim
