I went for my evening walk 🌃. They had a game wrapping up at the high school 🚸 so the lights were still on at the field. Bought milk and ice cream 🍦 at the store, the $2.99 Stewart’s sale is ongoing. I rarely eat ice cream anymore but a sweet is good for a change. They are really aggressively promoting their ice cream sale this time.

I rode the exercise bike for a while 🚲 then worked on some code for the VMS which got slowed down debugging a buffer overflow. I’ve continued playing with the new GIMP which I like a lot. Also been playing with some energy data. I should do some reading 📖 but I really prefer to do that at the park.
