My one guaranteed day of coding: run and bike logs ready for 2022

The NFL app is only streaming the Vikings game on the smallest screen in the house (insert your own joke here)

The treadmill 2.0 era has begun

Takes longer to get here now, but it was hotdish night @SaintDinette ❤️

Congrats to everyone at Interlachen for the big announcement today – the end of the ‘20s will be big for Minnesota golf ⛳️

Um, so this seems nice

WordPress plugins are great time savers, until they aren’t – looks like it’s time to do some coding

Discovering “Hey, Siri, play KFAN Radio” might be the greatest free Wild thing ever

Thought IKEA assembly was the worst, but then these Crate and Barrel chairs showed up

The new hot toddy on the @SaintDinette cocktail menu is the perfect MN winter drink 🥶

The new @SaintDinette endive with citrus crab and duck also 💯

It may be -6F outside, but the chicken wild rice soup @FortuneBay is still amazing

Very, very different from @chuckgoolsbee stats, but I got outside in the winter and didn’t hit any trees

Feel like I stumbled upon lost treasure at the Super One in Virginia

Need to update my calendar with Wild games not on BSN – can actually watch one on YouTube TV 🥅

Very much looking forward to The Book of Jack by Sarah Deming

Malfaldine carbonara with salmon + Bibb lettuce Caesar + new @MuccisItalian layout = 👍

Not sure which is worse: working on our taxes or trying to migrate off of G Suite legacy free edition

The box of Girl Scout cookies didn’t stand a chance during my slow morning commute

B&H Photo joke on SNL!

Nice crowd @SaintDinette for Sunday Brunch – great to see @SorenPriede again too

This story about the second green at White Bear Yacht Club and Jack’s Chicken Shack is really something

Hi mom, hi dad, hi grandma

Can confirm: 18 years after opening and IKEA on a Saturday is still bonkers

Thank you, Captain Koivu #9forAllTime

All updates installed and Universal Control is pretty damn impressive

The awesome bartender @SaintDinette had a new, much needed smoked cherry Old Fashioned on the menu ❤️

This table might be a little *too* close to @munsongs

Let’s play two: brunch @SaintDinette and dinner at Mr. Paul’s Supper Club

The new M1-native Teams beta made my day – 9to5Mac

Stopped to see @angrylinecookmn in Mears Park on the way home – solid 🍔 and 🍟

Made it six innings outside before hitting the Delta Club 🥶 ⚾️

A 6AM power outage put the streak in jeopardy, but finished my 21st consecutive Get in Gear ☔️

Late dinner @MuccisItalian with kid two and the Boy – thanks @cushy651 and @tniver 💯

We are doomed – they picked surrender white towels *again*

A $4101.20 win on a $2 exacta seems like a pretty solid return

Last brunch @SaintDinette with Chef Adam – thank you for everything and good luck at Vestalia!

Brought out the expert to discuss the eternal question: Birch or Aspen?

It’s been nice knowing all of you

It was in the low 40s this morning at Dahlgreen when we started, but it was just a beautiful Minnesota golf day

Solid tech, 2/2: Apple Maps gave me accurate directions around a ramp closure today (and a realtime accident report)

What an incredible smell you’ve discovered – dead mayflies on the Rock Island Swing Bridge

I love this pic of @grayter1 on the TPT website – the Emmy, Prince tambourine and Cane’s stuffy are 💯

Where is everybody? Rode 5+ miles before I saw a single other person not in a car or truck

So interesting – Red Lake Nation College opening campus across from @usbankstadium

The Dark Sky radar faked me out – completely soaked halfway through a 19 mile ride up and down the MRT

My first Market Favorite of 2022 @StPaulMarket

Long drive to del Prado’s new Macanda, but sunset on that patio had serious Hawaii vibes

Discovered some trails in Woodbury with no cars and no houses 🚴

Anybody use AT&T ActiveArmor on iOS? Hoping to banish all “Spam Risk” calls for eternity

I’m not sure calling walleye an “overrated lake fish” is going to win you many friends in Minnesota

City by Michael Heizer has some serious Westworld/Tatooine vibes to it – totally digging it

M62318197 is not prime: use your spare cycles for math research

A bit disconcerting to see a committee of vultures on my bike ride

Maybe it’s state fair food on the mind, but can’t stop thinking about Porky’s onion rings (RIP)

Fun day checking Deacon’s Lodge off the list with Craig and the Millers

Day two of a Centurylink fiber outage at home – glad to have my iPhone cellular hotspot, but our “smart house” is pretty dumb rn

I’ve come to really like Apple Music streaming, but given the events of the last two days, happy I kept the Music folder around

Our house is smart again – the awesome CTL tech ran some temp fiber for us

Another 2022 new food winner: the pork schnitzel sandwich at Farmer’s Union Coffee Shop

We are the D
We are the D

Looking good, Lutsen!

Big thanks to the MSP team for the briefing/tour and what a nice surprise to see @4waytest

Not only a late October round at Sand Creek, but shorts and polo weather too 🌞

For the record, no one has ever kissed me in a crowded room

Marcus Mumford @PalaceStPaul Why can’t people shut the f up and just listen for 90 minutes?

Glad I left the football-watching couch for a bit to go for a quick ride

First it was no Dance of the Dragons until 2024, then the finale of The Patient – rough week of TV

The Mac Teams client + Mission Control Spaces + command-tab is my own personal hell

A+ Minnesota fall afternoon

Went to see Howl’s Moving Castle again on a big screen and completely forgot about the royal city of Kingsbury

My last round at Deer Run was 19 years ago – today they gave us free beer afterwards 🍻

Just in case: downloaded my Twitter archive today and found some real gems in there (started 2/1/2008)

Very excited to see one fourth of Talking Heads @FirstAvenue in February

So when can I retire again?

So nice to hike along a creek that still has water flowing (Chester in Duluth) 💦
