Well, we are into June, which by my always-faulty math means another quarter of the year has come and gone.
Fun fact I learned this weekend. Australia’s seasons are determined by monthly quarters and not the solstices/equinoxes. So on June 1st they entered “Winter†while our “Summer†doesn’t begin until later this month.
After a fun, but not as fun prom as last year’s, I beat myself up yesterday doing five miles of suspect creek and poison-ivy filled trail for Hog Mountain. I suppose had I not fallen asleep so early last night, early enough to have me awake and in the office by 5:30am again today, I would really be suffering. My dream is that none of the ivy trough which I traipsed yesterday found its way to my sensitive skin.
May Summary
For a month during which I hoped to exercise daily, there was far too much lethargy; I’ll blame the rain, and then the heat.

Today is WWDC Keynote Monday, which as an software developer for Apple-related technology always makes me giddy.
I saw the DC was going on and wondered if that wouldn’t be worth your time at some point.
It was a long, hot weekend. 26 miles of road Friday, and I was welcomed home by the county road graders making a soft mess of our road. Friday evening spent listening to a friends band at Manchester Arms in CPk. They built an outdoor stage and pavilion which was a great spot to listen. The wait staff of 1 was overwhelmed, and without any sort of wireless communication to the kitchen/bar or registers, had to run back and forth to the building. He was young and fit, so that helped.
I think we vegged all day Saturday, except for a scooter ride. Sunday had me parked in the McDonalds parking lot for 3 hours on a New Orleans upgrade. I thought about sitting inside, but was more comfortable in the car. 23 miles on the CX bike- the county has been busy on more than just our road.

Since becoming an iOS developer this day has always been a big one for me. I’ve never been a worthy-enough developer for making the actual trip to San Jose (or San Francisco when it was held there).
“New Orleans upgrade� This is work-related or a euphemism?
No, it’s exactly as I said- an upgrade for the New Orleans switches. I was lending moral support mostly. Boots on the ground were required for testing.
RIP Apple iTunes (Legit overdue).
“Why, when I was your age, we listened to music ply playing these things we called “albums”…” (“Get off my lawn!”) 🙂
Two events are on my calendar, near term.
– 2019 “Blade Show” (Cobb Galleria, this Friday, Saturday, Sunday). World’s largest. All things “knives”, over 1,000 exhibitors, manufacturers, suppliers, custom knife makers and collectors.
– Atlanta “Streets Alive”, this Sunday June 9th, “Decatur to Atlanta” (Whoa!)
I plan to give it a shot.
Pro tip for the poison ivy:
1) Cover your skin (with clothing) prior to possible exposure.
2) Do not touch the clothing after exposure.
3) Avoid areas where open burning of poison ivy plant material is occurring.
Have a fun week eddybody.

I hash nearly entirely covered in clothes – tights and arm covers – but taking off said clothes at the end is sometimes problematic.
Paulie is the best at trying to cover his birthday noire body to avoid PI. Way better then me.
Wow… 2-8PM!! That’s going to be fun. I heard a rumor of Black Sheep in my neighborhood, so I may be preempted.
Relayed to me from the Book of Faces:
Black Sheep is A-to-A, 25 massengale farms ct senoia ga 30276
Oh hell yeah! I know right where that is.
Greetings from Superior. It’s 51 out there now. A little chilly.
Yesterday morning my brother Tom & I went & watched a loooongggg ship leave the harbor filled with coal, it was 1014 ft long.
Then to a high school graduation party with a ton of people we didn’t know, but it was nice.
Made dinner here at the rental house, my brother & wife & a couple of their friends came over after their many parties to socialize.
Tonight we will be eating all kinds of leftovers from yesterday’s party.
(It’s all here because we gave an empty fridge)
