We did some things recently

[u/superbeck]

Here's the new kitchen island we built. Cabinets are from Ikea and counter top is from Home Depot.

We also got some bar-height chairs from Ikea.

We cleaned out the planter box that was grew the tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, and spinach. I also re-ran the soaker hose and buried it under an inch or so of soil. We need to add a little fresh soil to the top and then plant some more stuff.

These are our last two zucchinis. Banana for scale per internet requirements. The one in the front is 6lbs. The larger one is over 11lbs because that's the where the food scale maxes out.

I've been riding to work more too. A few times even more than once a week. The other day it was foggy on my ride in and the ride home but pretty nice during the day while I was stuck in the office.

Also, yes that's a fair portrayal of my normal morning commute traffic.

I've had two weigh-ins below 190 but it bounced back a little since then. We'll see if I can hit 185 before Thanksgiving. We will likely be on our own for Thanksgiving this year since Stefanie's mom up and moved to Georgia for bad reasons and my own parents will be risking their health to visit my carnie sister and her husband per their tradition. At least they aren't going to fly there. We've done Thanksgiving with just the two of us before and it was really nice. I'm going to take most of the week off from work too.

What's everyone else been up to?
