Walleye hijinx

 I didn't forget you.  I'm jog/walking about twice a week.  Today was 7.2 averaging 12:56.  It's getting a hair better.  I will be in Red Lake, MN with the boys this week so not much jogging around while ice fishing.  Plus it's colder than a well diggers ass.

 Still plan on showing up at the 12 hour on 2/14. Maybe 20?  It'd be a good goal.  It's going down to 28 - 30 here tonight.  Keep the faith!

Yevgeni Arzhanov

 I've been on the road for work chasing power, oil & gas, steel fabricators, and industrial contractors for business.  It was a good trip.  Lots to follow up on.  When I get in the cover Florida mode, real life can disappear.  It's what we do.  Big guys in twos, little guys in bunches.  I pick chunks out of my stool bigger than some of these guys.

 So...with my meds I have a high risk of skin cancer and you get this stuff cut out.  Like anything else after a while you start asking questions.  They wanted to do this special procedure and in short I asked what the success rate is with what I normally get and it was 99.6%.  That's a 60-70% price difference Bruh than the new procedure.  Talk about up sale!  Plus it's 20 minutes versus 2 hours.  This is my second dermatology outfit here in FL.  I will leave it at that.

 So I signed up for a 12 hour event here on the trails in town for 2/14.  It is a free event.  My goal was 25 miles in 6 hours, but I may have to change the goal if the Achilles is barking.  I'll know tomorrow because I'm gonna hammer it.  I'll be leaning in hard...like taking a big whiff of jalapeƱos.  Freaking Dave Wottle territory.  Hold my beer.

Playing through

 Don't feel too bad today.   The Achilles is barking a bit so I had to walk easy and cutback the distance.  That's what happens when you drop the big engine into a Pinto body.  No matter.  Twern't no Grizz left anyway.  Put in 3.5 on the canoe. 

 Today was a scale day.  That sucker read 185 and the guy in the mirror looked a bit like an old Dudley Doorite fellar with a stomach pack on.  It was grim. 

 Back to stamping out widgets tomorrow.  Probably head up to the Jacksonville area mid week for a day or two.   Make a couple cold calls and see my future be my future.
