6:00 am Life
My top priority today is to continue with my fitness routine at the Lethbridge Fitness Center.
I will also try to find a local geocache. I need one for today in order to fill in another blank in my grid. The recent rains will make most ground muddy and very slippery. The underbrush and tall grass is wet making any off-trail walking a very damp venture. Fortunately there are a few urban caches that may make the search relatively dry.
Grocery shopping is also a high priority.
I bought a pair of leather hiking boots while in Calgary. These need to be waterproofed.
My PC should be started up and the necessary updates installed.
I need to check with the iWorld store in Lethbridge about Educational discounts. The online Apple store also provides a migration and setup service. Does iWorld also provide this?
4:00 PM Life
Well, I didn't make it to the Fitness Center and I didn't search for a geocache.
Much of the morning was spent buying groceries.
I then made a quick trip over town to discuss a few questions with the people at iWorld about purchasing a new MacBook Pro (details of the new computer were being released as I was in the store). The store does provide educational discounts and I am eligible. They also provide a migration and set up service. All this is good.
I also bought some waterproofing for my hiking boots (at another store).
Back home, I applied the waterproofing and then decided that it was more important to pull weeds from our front lawn than to go to the fitness center. I think this was a good choice as the weeds need to be pulled before I mow the lawn. I am now about half finished with this chore.
6:30 PM Cooking
Earlier in the day we decided to have pork tenderloin for dinner. I then noticed a recipe in the magazine "The Best of Clean Eating 2" for a dish called "Smoked Paprika Pork Tenderloin" which involved cooking slices of pork tenderloin in a smoked paprika sauce and then serving it on a layer of corn & lima beans (aka succotash). We didn't have any lima beans so we substituted a can of mixed beans. The meal was delicious.
