trampoline and twenty-seven 🤸

This is what occurred in August:

happenings

• Strapped a canoe onto the CRV (on two separate occasions).

  

  

• Celebrated my grandmother's birthday in Halifax.

  

• Met with a very high level engineer and he called my AI analogy "apt"!!

• Lost my wallet and found security footage of the thieves.

  

• Went on a very difficult hike with Ashley during a heat wave.

  

  

• Put up a tarp in our living room to combat the afternoon heat.

  

• Participated in the annual bike race and placed fourth (it was prom themed).

  

• Had my birthday at a trampoline park and thoroughly enjoyed it.

• Baked some truly delicious carrot cake muffins.

learnings

north should be up

I get a much better sense of direction when I configure my Google maps to have a fixed orientation (so north is always up):

Even though it’s not always pointed in the direction I'm going, it gives me a much better idea of where I am on the island.

what I’m eating

I’ve realized that my intuition for how much I'm eating is widely inaccurate. The gap between how much I think I’ve eaten and reality is huge!

This revelation has come after tracking my macros for a couple weeks (with this app). More on that next month!
