I am in the office today. Me and the 3 other people who decided to not take the day off. It’s been a rather interesting few weeks since I last posted. I have been studying forensics for my first course this semester. I have previously taken a forensics course, but this one is definitely more in-depth. I started a new way of studying. I read the assigned chapter and make an audio recording of the chapter to listen back to while I drive. My drives to and from work are typically 30+ minutes which gives me plenty of time to re-listen to the chapters.

I had a really awesome past few Sundays. I went to the lake with my wife a few Sundays ago. We brought our inflatable kayak out to tread water. It ended up storming while we were there and we used the kayak to protect our things while we got into the lake and embraced the storm. We danced, held each other, felt the rain, felt the lake water, took in nature to the fullest, and just lived in the moment. We have a portable speaker that sits in a float that we brought with us. We brought him into the lake with us while it poured rain on us and listened to music. It was a lot of fun dancing in the lake while it was raining and listening to good music.

The next Sunday we went to a different lake and just walked around and took in the sites. There was a playground nearby and we ended up doing a park workout together. We did a buddy system pull-up workout that I saw on YouTube a while back. The workout is from a former prisoner. One person is doing the pull-ups while the other person stands under them and assists by lifting while the other person is pulling up. It is essentially a double workout. The person doing pull-ups is working a variety of muscles. Lats, biceps, triceps, etc. The person on the bottom is also working their lats, they are also working their deltoids and other muscles. I was definitely sore the following days.

I haven’t been 3D printing as much even though I got a second printer from one of my co-workers. He had the exact same Ender 3V2 printer that I have and was selling it so I figured I would take it off his hands since I wouldn’t have to learn how a new printer functions. I have upgraded parts that I bought that I need to get installed onto one of the printers. I am just not sure if I want to use the parts on the one I got from him or if I want to use the parts on the printer that was already mine. Once I am finished with school and get my degree I will have so much more time to work on projects and learn other things I am interested in. I have been really wanting to learn how to play the saxophone so I think that will be the next thing I deep dive into after completing my Bachelor’s.
