Pretty Good Hat

I got out for a bike ride around the neighborhood last evening. Lakeside parks were full of swimmers and picnickers out to enjoy the end of this warm summer day. What a great way to enjoy closing out my own work week!

I’m hoping to replace as many of my grocery and around-town trips with a bike, and I tried out some e-bikes yesterday. This was really fun.

With the release of the tremendously good The Final Shape expansion, I’m in the mood to make some updates to my Destiny 2 tools. First up is Armorer, with a re-work of some filtering options to limit possible loadouts by tier, which seems to get right to an effective loadout more quickly than my prior approach. It’s a little limited, but I really like the direction this allows me to go. And it’s fun to work on again!

Amid finding and buying a house, packing to sell a house, getting Covid and finally actually moving over the past eight weeks, my workout routine really took a hit. I finally got on the bike once again, at pretty low intensity. I also hit a full week of strength workouts for the first time in many weeks. It’s been really hard coming back from a big hit to this schedule, and even though I’m only at about 70%, it feels good.
