Beautiful day off
Well I have got a wonderful day off while swapping between days and nights. The smoke that has plagued us for the last few days seems to have cleared up and a bit of a breeze makes the warm day feel good. I still had chores to do like grocery shopping, meal prep and a bit of cleaning. I have managed to get the shopping done but am putting off the rest until later tonight seeing as I have to stay up late to transition to nights anyway. For now I have taken the old fat bike out for a cruise around town.
My fat bike properly secured waiting for me to finish my coffee.
I stopped at the Mill City Grill for a wonderful lunch. I got the barbecue bacon cheese burger with garlic truffle fries and enjoyed it on the shady outdoor seating area. Good food and a wonderful atmosphere coupled with a little bit of people watching. While there are not a lot of people out and about here in Longview the downtown area always seems to have at least a few characters around. After lunch I circled around the Lake Sacajawea Park for a slow cruise on the fat bike. While I took Loki for a short loop around the park in the morning while it was cool he is no longer able to make the full loop like he used to so I took my time to cruise the full circuit. I made a quick stop back home to pet Loki who was hiding in with the AC before setting off again, next stop was Red Leaf coffee for a cool coffee drink. This time I went with a blended Rocky Mountain Mocha which is basically a coffee flavored desert. While enjoying my frozen treat I am updating this blog.
I look confused even though I am the one taking the photo…
Nice little area to cool off and edit a blog.
Hopefully the rest of this day goes just as well as the start. I see a lot of hiding in the AC with Loki for for me today, but maybe something worthy of a real adventure will happen. I have 3 nights a hard turnaround back to days and 7 day shifts in a row after that. Wish me luck!
Saw this Smart car with huge off road tires on my walk with Loki last night after work and felt compelled to share it with everyone.
