Yep! I have a bunch of them around my yard. My neighborhood backs up to the lake.

Good work on the bike rides, gazebo build and deload session. Sounds like a crazy week man. They must start school early down there. We have 3 more precious weeks. Hope your wife’s surgery goes well and that she has a speedy recovery.

Thank you Trent. Not sure why our schools start back so early. Our son does get a lot of breaks that my old school never got. Like he gets a fall break, and a winter break that I never got, both are a week off at a time and remind me a lot of our old spring breaks.
Thanks on the wife. Surgery is never fun.

Nice job on the bike ride and sauna. Nice weigh in too. Life Hack: Weigh in after you get done in the sauna. 
Our kids had almost zero breaks or teacher work days last year. They started in late August and got out before Memorial Day. I think this year they get out slightly later.

Thanks Trent. No joke on that life hack. 
I just looked at my son’s school calendar. He has 6 weeks off, not including national holidays.
Dude, that’s insane… Not trying to hate on teachers/faculty, but you already get all damn summer off. Now you want 6 weeks off during the school year? 
EDIT: Just looked at my daughter’s school calendar. I counted 10 teacher workdays all year. They have Spring Break (5 days) and Christmas Break (9 week days), but that’s it. First day is 8/29/22. Last day is 6/9/23. Maybe they built extra time in to last year’s calendar in case they had to take a covid break.

Yeah it is crazy. Luckily my wife is a stay at home mom with the exception of 2 nights a week. I don’t know how people stay off with their kids 6 weeks a year. That is more vacation than most companies top out at.

Nice job on the deload session. Still going pretty heavy on squats for a deload, at least for me. Good job on the bike and sauna too. I’m glad your wife’s surgery went well!
RE: School: Yeah, that is just flat out crazy. Way too much time off…

Good work on the deload session and Peloton ride. Really cool that you were able to hike with your son. Really looking forward to those days. Hope the birthday party was fun!

Thanks Trent. Birthday party was ok. It was at a community water park. Someone there puked in the pool though so were we only able to get in about an hour of slides, and swimming. Son had a blast while it lasted. Hiking is definitely one of my favorite things to do with him. He usually complains the whole way but then tells me later it was fun.

Missed my goal weigh in again. This shit is starting to trend. I will give myself a break though, I did skip pizza and birthday cake, and lots of candy around the house this weekend. I feel like I am on the verge of a woosh weight drop. Still shooting for 242.something next Monday.

Monster session today Shane. That was a ton of work. Going heavy on the deads too. Yeah, in one week I gained the few pounds back that I lost during Covid. Oh well…
