I wanted some Nescafé for nostalgia
This was the coffee they had in hotel rooms and break rooms around the UK and some of Europe during my travels over there. It wasn’t all that bad and is also super cheap so I decided to grab some. I didn’t realize that you could get a fancy version that is still only cents a cup or so. Pretty decent for the convenience and cost. I stole one of Julie’s measuring cups and started serving myself up a hot cup.
Julie was laughing at my silly games with the measuring cup (and trying to get the coffee in there) so she bought me my very own one and a half tablespoon measuring cup.
Catching my breath in John & Savannah’s yard
I was using their paths to ride my bike with Zoe and decided to enjoy the little spot Savannah cleared out for my heart rate recovery. So pretty and relaxing, especially with the colors this time of year.
John’s learning just like I did…
My dad always told me… “How do you know how much to tighten a bolt? You crank on it until it breaks, then go a little less on the next one.” Hahahaha. He taught me that while we were fastening the stairs onto the back of the appartments on the Hammel House years ago. John got to make the walk out to our barn to find a replacement bolt for his trailer hitch when he took the same approach. 🤪

John and I working on his boat a week or so ago
We attached some seats he found on Marketplace, and swapped out the hitch for one that would fit our vehicles. Of course, he had an interesting idea for a coat rack too… One of the bird feeder posts that Julie wasn’t currently using hahahaha. Oh yeah, and we mounted the oars in the locks too. It looks like they will work nicely! ❤️
Ian finished his first marathon!
8 minute miles means he finished under his goal time of 3:30 too. Crazy and cool!
Chloe and Zoe each got a ride last week.
Chloe takes up almost the whole back seat if she lays down. But she usually sits on the seat with her face right next to our shoulders just over the armrest between the front seats. Zoe is sitting there VERY hopeful that the people walking towards us on the sidewalk are going to stop and pet her, hahaha.
Still trying to get my childhood timex running right
It runs for a bit, but stalls. I noticed the hands were interfering with each other so I made some adjustment. I could get it to run for a day or so at a time, but it’s still slowly stalling more often… It’s fun figuring out what to try next.
Julie and I tried a new Indian place with Andy
It was Chipotle style and had a Mexican/Indian fusion vibe. We even got a try a Thumbs Up which was a version of Pepsi I had while I was in India.

Andy tipped me off…
…That they were tearing a house down in Waynesville last week. He sent me the upper left picture of them getting ready to do the work. He knew I would enjoy seeing some of it, so I ran down and enjoyed the carnage! It’s next to the Hammel House. The city is putting a parking lot in its place.
