5:20 am Musings
My top two priorities remain. Job 1 continues to be fitness. Today is the fitness center and a few weights.
My second priority is to continue updating this website for the first two weeks of April. I finished April 6 yesterday. I recall reading something a long time ago that more than two priorities is no priorities.
But I do have to take the Rav4 in to have a rock chip in the windshield repaired and I have 2 meetings with various people at the university.
9:00 PM Life
A busy day, much of it with regular activities.
I took the Rav4 into Speedy Glass to have a rock chip repaired. Then I took some yard waste (leaves, small branches) to recyling and followed that with a workout at the Lethbridge Fitness Center. This was my second free session. One more and I will have to make a serious commitment by buying some form of membership. Home for lunch and then off to the uni to meet a few ex-colleagues. Good fun. Spent some time discussing the need for more quantitative approaches.
Then home to work on getting the web pages completed from our Australia trip. This is progressing nicely and I hope to finish this tomorrow.
9:30 PM Birding
While reviewing the photos from our time in Australia I have discovered 2 new lifers. On April 22 I have a photo of an Australian Pipit and on April 23 I have one of an Orange Chat. This completes the birding activities for the trip. The next few days were spent in Sydney.
I have sent a copy of a photo that I took while in Canberra to an authority in Australia for a comment. The image looks like it could be a Tasmanian Scrubwren but they are said to only be in Tasmania. I have had a quick reply indicating they will look at it in a few days, as soon as they return from a trip.
