Fifteen bean soup with carrots and broccoli are cooking down on the stove top, bread and spaghetti squash are cooking down in the oven. Cranberry pancakes for breakfast and excess amounts of coffee to wash it all down.

Lots of pots cooking down today. 🥣 Many good healthy eats for the week to come. I figured with things going to be so mild today, I could cook things down and then have the windows open during the day time 🪟 to make sure things don’t get too steamy. Plus I’ve been craving some good soup for some time now.

Yesterday I went out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. Not much has changed, though they’re hoping for rain as am I due to the fire risk. There was actuallly a fire in town this morning, I could smell the smoke and heard the sirens as the fire truck went to the scene. Not sure if it’s a house fire or brush fire. The good news is the second half of the week should be quite rainy. No riding the bike in those days.

It was a nice bike ride in, good exercise and the trail wasn’t as bumpy with the warmer weather. Not like last week after the hard frost and having topped off the tires on my bike. I don’t love how dark it is at the end of day or putting the bike on the bus, but eventually Presidents Day will come around and I can ride back home again.

Been spending a lot of time studying VS Code, and build environments. For years I’ve dabbled in code, but I want to get more proficent, especially in C/C++ and Rust. R and Python are fine but they aren’t great for big projects,
