Mr. Fixit
Woke up in the middle of the night. Hmm, furnace sounds a little weird. An intermittent motor sound that I don’t remember. Meh, rolled over and went back to sleep. Woke a few hours later, hmm, still sounds kinda weird. Getting the day started, hmm, furnace running but it’s blowing cold. Oh, no, that can’t…

More Administrivia
Moved some more random bits off my old Digital Ocean droplet and then powered it off. Gonna let that stew for a few days to make sure I didn’t forget anything or leaving anything pointed to that older droplet. Then, it’ll be time to destroy that trusty 8 year old droplet. Godspeed, my friend!

Facebook? Nevermind…
Did some more research on trying to syndicate this blog to Facebook. Doesn’t look anybody can post to your normal field, just to a Facebook page, at least for free. Even WordPress’ own Jetpack thing with the social plugin can only post to pages. By the way, at first it doesn’t look like the social…

The Runners Mind
Couldn’t sleep last night due to coughing, sneezing, and nose running non-stop. It’s 3am, should I just go and get my run over with? Thankfully, the call of my warm bed kept me in the house. I did manage to make it out at regular time though. Nothing to write home about, but another one…

Don’t see that everyday
Pulling off 202 onto Alma School Rd just now and there’s a chainsaw sitting in the middle of the exit lane. Uh, ok. Go another block and there’s another chainsaw sitting in the road between 2 lanes. Methinks some landscaper in the area is soon gonna find out that they’re having a bad day.

Streak Day 22
Felt pretty meh at normal running time this morning. Tired from the longer run yesterday and whatever cold I’ve got going on still isn’t done with me. It was also 41 degrees and raining off and on. So, I waited until after I got some chores done to give today’s effort a shot. Hmm, the…

Finally tried NITRO Pepsi
Heard about NITRO pepsi a while ago, but they never seem to get it at my default grocery store. Recently, they had one in the check out line at Target and I could no longer resist. Its very similar to Nitro Cold Brew at Starbucks, it’s super smooth. Trying to decide if it’s a welcome…

On Garmin Connect Embeds…
Embedding on Modern WordPress On modern WordPress (ie: circa 6.x), it wasn’t super obvious how to use an <IFRAME> style embed using the new blocks interface. Turns out the magic is just use a Custom HTML type block and paste in the embed from the Garmin Connect website. That gets you most of the way…

The Struggle Is Real
Keeping my streak alive. Yesterday’s challenge was 51 degrees and ripping winds. Today’s challenge was feeling the cold that’s working its way through the Crowthers finally get to me. Oh well, made it through regardless.

Ok, nevermind…
Hey! Why don’t I syndicate my posts to Facebook too? Let’s head over to IFTTT to set that up. Oh, right, IFTTT can only post to Facebook Pages and not to normal personal profiles. Hmm, I think I probably knew that and that’s why I didn’t already do something with Facebook. Grumble. On the bright…
