Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success August 1 – Okay. It was “Okay” right at the top of the range, but not quite there for a “Very Good.”

Yesterday

Daily success yesterday had a lot of “getting stuff done” before our trip. That included lubricating and testing seven more windows and replacing the condensate pump for the downstairs air conditioning. The old one was about eight years old and had not been maintained. Worrisome for being out of town for an extended period and not being able to check things.

There were also accomplishments on the robot front. Naming is going well. Some documents are ready for others to see. We sent an NDA to Paul to start getting him involved. It’s looking about as good as it can, given the intellectual property, uh, issues …

Exercise and physical therapy took a back seat for most of the day but finally reached an acceptable conclusion.

Today

Daily success today is going to be handicapped by my exhaustion yesterday. Staying too long at the computer working to get ahead of things resulted in sleeping much too far into the morning and overall lost production.

Today will be more and more about getting ready for France. It is also my last Village good deed before leaving for France. Robots, exercise, and physical therapy will be taking a back seat.

Challenging.

The Future

Daily success in the future is going to be constrained by our trip as we leave in just over 48 hours. I’ve packed black, silver, and gold TheraBands for some strength work. Stretches and core exercises can be done well enough without real equipment.

This vacation is well earned, so the first and most important thing for the month of August is to enjoy it. That SHOULD be easy.

BUT: the computer goes with me. All my customer data has been wiped from it and moved onto external storage so, while it’s all benign stuff, there is no worry about having it with me. None of the robot work has any travel limitations, so some work can continue.

Even on vacation.
