This fading mural is outside the school I’m working at for the summer.
Woodshop Expanding
My tool selection is expanding though still woefully inadequate. I’m teaching a carpentry class this week and the kids can’t use the saw. It is taking a lot of prep work and we only get paid for instructional time. Can you put better tools on a baby registry?
Happy Independence Day!
Yesterday! I hope you had a good and safe time celebrating the independence of our country. We live in an extremely diverse neighborhood and it was interesting to think about the different reasons we all have to be thankful that the US is a free country.
It was a pretty good week, busy as usual. I’m enjoying my summer job working with kids. Last week was water week which included a water balloon fight and a trip to a local water park! The heat isn’t fun since the school isn’t air conditioned but we manage!
The best news of my week was that I ran! Only about a mile and while my knee hurt there was no swelling during or after the run! So that is a good sign. I might take it out for a spin again this week and see how it goes! I’ve been biking and swimming so hopefully I’m getting into/staying in some level of fitness. I also aqua jogged again this week. I did 30 minutes with my shoes on (which is a nice added challenge).
My weekly activity summary looks like this:
Bike: 53.8 Miles
Run: 1.5 Miles
Swim: 0.5 Miles
This week’s ONE POST is last year’s post about Minneapolis being one of the best biking cities in the World!
Did you have a good week?
Party on the 4th
We enjoyed a great evening with friends before fireworks to celebrate the birth of our country!
Midtown Farmers Market
It was a great morning for the farmers market. My kids from school had a booth selling stuff they made. In a year and a half today was the best day ever! See the skyline in the background!
