Ending a Weekend

Posted Sun Aug 22, 2010 in

I have ‘burgers and sirloin on the grill right now. I have a Corona Extra, a wedge of lime, and enjoyed a few potato chips on my free day. I didn’t go crazy today, but enjoyed a couple of treats I don’t normally eat anymore — a Klondike bar and a few potato chips.

It was a pretty good day. I woke about my normal time this morning, rose, made some coffee, and puttered at the computer while I woke. Wife woke and we made breakfast. We bought some turkey bacon yesterday and I cooked some of it, but I think neither of us liked it much. It’s not awful and I could eat it, but there are better breakfast meats so it will go away. It was a good try.

I worked on one of my dam-breach analyses today and just about have the modeling done. I have the figures prepared for the report and the back-matter (oops, just realized I need some HEC-RAS data for the appendix) and will finish up the report either this evening or first thing in the morning.

In reflecting on the weekend, it was a good weekend. I worked some and played some and feel pretty good about the upcoming week. It will be hard, but I can get things done. The following week in Utah will be a nice break after the big push on two projects. Then it will be time to come home and push on the next project, which languished in the challenge of the current one. It sounds like consulting, doesn’t it?

Now I’m going to go take care of our food and we’ll have supper. It will be time to regroup then, and see what will happen with the remainder of the evening.
