Weeknotes 59
- Acquired some wintery-themed teas, and have been brewinā and sippinā those nonstop this week. Mint is the best of the bunch.
- Got the Bolt inspected for the first time since its acquisition. Easy-peasy pass. One maintenance-free year down. Although, the thing has randomly started prompting me for a password for something, and I canāt figure out it wants from me or why it started doing this. Let me know if you have any clues hereā¦
- éåęęęåøäŗäøåę°åļ¼ē«é (I learned a new word this week: turkey. But literally translated, itās āfire chickenā, and I think thatāsā¦ well itās at least a little bit funny)
- Feels like Iāve made a lot of Chinese-listening progress this past week. I can now listen to the Taiwanese Peppa Pig and understand about ~70% of whatās being said. Last month, that felt like a pipe dream. Since I started tracking a couple weeks ago, Iām at ~15 hours of listening ācomprehensible inputā. Probably another 15 of reading short stories. This is not counting the several āfreeā hours of listening to Cyn make fart jokes and calling the cat cute.
- Pickleballād again. Again, mostly got my butt kicked. Went 2 - 3 against Ta.
- Went to watch Jess run in the half-marathon yesterday. The spot we arbitrarily picked to stop and cheer just so happened to be right in front of a friendās house (had no idea they lived there). Small town, this Richmond place.
- Went on a little motorcycle ride with the olā man again. Did our now usual route in New Kent. But this time with the added anxiety of dealing with 40mph cross-winds.
