You can tell it's gonna be a good day if you're having lunch by 10:30. Why? Because it means I had an early breakfast, and that I already had my workout in. That allowed me to then spent most of my afternoon at Home Depot looking for ideas, as well as looking at the nice tools, and still get home in time to adjust the princess's new helmet.
And in case you're wondering, yes she picked the colour herself, yes she plays on a boys team, and yes she's tough enough to wear any colour helmet she damn well chooses! I'm very proud to be her gramps.
As to my other successes today, I got a few brain waves at home depot for my latest project, and although I never bought a tool, I got one at crappy tire later for 1/3 the price!
And my workout was good, bordering on very good! It was supposed to be a basement ride, but with the glorious weather we woke up to, there was no way I was staying inside. I had a lovely 10 km run, and on top of feeling good again, my heart rate monitor worked flawlessly!
But the highlight of my day was still to come. Just as I was preparing my supper I got a call from son Jon, inviting me to have lunch, and to tour his work, this coming Thursday. I am so looking forward to it. This son of mine has come into his own over the last few years, and while he doesn't play hockey, I know that if he did, he would also wear whatever colour helmet he damn well wanted!!
It was a perfect day!!
run 10.3 kms, 4:59/km!!!

...and I thought I had a perfect day til I read this....

...and because it's a little late in the day I promise I'm gonna make up for my oversight tomorrow...
