Yesterday was pretty fun. I started the day off a little tough, by running 1.5 miles, biking 5 miles, and then running another 1.5 miles. That was not fun.
But hopefully I'm improving to where I'll be able to do the race without much trouble.
Then we shot a few fireworks off at our house before heading off to Chad's for his annual 4th of July party, the last one ever at that house, since he just sold it.
He thinks he's going to build a new house, with him being the General Contractor, in less than 7 months. All of us think he's crazy.
Guess we'll see who's right in 7 months.
We had a good time at his party, as usual. Good food and drinks, and many friends.
Got to see the Shelton's who are having a tough time lately. They just had their second kid, a girl, who for completely unknown reasons completely stopped moving and nearly died in Marla's belly about 2 weeks before her due date. She had no heartbeat and no air for almost 15 minutes after they pulled her out. So it's a tough situation that I can relate to all too well.
The new girl, Addison, looks totally normal, but has had some seizures, doesn't eat on her own, and is generally not doing well.
I think the general expectation is some fairly serious physical and mental handicapping. It's a real bummer. But we haven't seen them since she was born, and they were there, so it was good to see them anyway.
My dad has at last started his chemo. He said that it went pretty well, a little nausea but it was controlled pretty well by some other drugs. He said that if it stays like that, the whole chemo regimine should be pretty tolerable.
So that was uplifting news.
Here I'm training as much as possible and still be able to walk, and doing some serious programming on the kegbot. It's coming along great, and I expect to start testing some pours here shortly, then I will be hooking it up to the real deal after that.

You do work, right? Day one - I rode my bike 17 hours. Day two - I ran for 20 miles. Day three - I drank at a friend's house. Day four - I did some repairs at home. Day five - I had a hard time at poker. Day six - I had friends come over and we drank. Day seven - I repaired my motorcycle/truck. Boy it was a hard week...
