Quick leather iPad sleeve.

Grateful Log

• The sun is shining!!!
• Skipping church - opting instead for a different morning consisting of writing, a slow breakfast, and a bike ride before heading off to a birthday party.
• Made a quick leather pouch for my iPad yesterday.
• Watching Mozzie mix leather paint to get to the shade of blue he had in mind for his new leather bracelet.

Had a great ride this morning, decided to venture off of the pavement :-)

Grateful Log

• Break in the rain this morning, will sneak out for a bike ride.
• Went out to eat last night, which has been rare as of late, and sat inside (instead of doing the new normal of takeout). The change of scenery was very nice.
• That weekend feeling.

Shipping two of these out to Cali. Chocolate dye turned out great.

Grateful Log

• Very productive morning so far: market run, grocery store for stragglers, tanning, bit of a clean up in the kitchen, writing now.
• Fun time with Mozzie last night at the church nerf battle.
• A day to be mostly focused.

Grateful Log

• Coffee
• Slept great
• Another cloudy and rainy day

Grateful Log

• Didn’t test drive (yet) but did sit in the new Hyundai Ioniq 6. Swanky!

• Bike ride around the neighborhood with Mozzie after dinner yesterday
• Overcast weather today, rain likely, which will make the next sunny day even better
• Coffee tastes extra good this morning

Grateful Log

• Phenomenal sleep last night
• Mozzie dropped off to his first day of theater camp (his third year!)
• Goals and such for the next few years coming into focus…have been slightly blurry for a while so the clarity is a relief

Great Father’s Day ride with Mozzie this afternoon.

Grateful Log

• Great sleep
• Made it to first service on time
• Beautiful day ahead, perfect weather for a longer bike ride

Quick little leather box.

Grateful Log

• Productive week getting Father’s Day leather leather orders made, shipped, and delivered on time.
• Clarity about bringing back a brand/project I abandoned prematurely a few years ago.
• Time to write outside in the sun this morning with a nice hot cup of coffee.

Next up

Testing my code in dev before promoting to prod.

Grateful Log

• cloudy and rainy day, makes one thankful for sunny days
• coffee
• get to see mozzie for a very small amount of time this morning, better than not at all.

Just watched Cloverfield. Outside of what I usually watch but I appreciated the creative “found footage” approach.

Very happy with how this pair turned out.

Leather oven mitt order in progress.

🚴🏼‍♂️ From my ride yesterday evening, sunset over the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg PA.

Back from an extremely enjoyable 20 mile ride with Mozzie, our first ride together on our new bikes. Had a phenomenal time together!

Having showered I am now sitting outside enjoying a cigar, relishing in the good feeling I have at the moment :-)

🚲 My bike 😊. Jamis Renegade S3. Purchased from local bike shop on Tuesday and loving it.
