Hill Farmstead + North Hatley Quebec today
House Remodel Progress. Deck goes on next week followed by a slab pour.
Heading to Quebec for a couple of days.
The 4 week days is great but requires taking work off The 2 weekends is hard because I miss family time 2 weeks straight The 8 week nights (M-Thursday) feels like more but baby goes to sleep at 8PM so it’s only missing 2 hours with her.
Enjoying a beer after 4 nights of teaching classes. Not sure which schedule I prefer more. In-Person 4 week days 8-6, two weekends 8-6 Saturday & Sunday or 8 evenings Monday - Thursday 4.5 hours per night. Same hours either way but the split is meaningful.
Of course my new desk lamp had a firmware update.
Was honored this morning to present one of our longest members with an ambassadorship great start to my day.

Last month of the year!
Getting ready for concrete.
Ordered a shed today for the house. In retrospect, we should have had our GC estimate building this and matching the shingles & siding to our home but it’s complicated as for why we didn’t do that and I regret having to go this route:
Good game last night.
Considering last week we were getting 12 down and 1.5 up for $65 a month, this is $120 a month but way faster. Starlink is pretty impressive and I’m blown away by how low the latency is.
Delicious Thanksgiving dinner with family. Another successful turkey year, too!
It’s ready!
Starter at 7pm at 200F. Just turned the heat up to 400 to roast the skin with basting every 10 minutes.
Just got back from the house. We’re ready for foundation footings on Friday and Saturday, Concrete pour on Monday!
Living with the in-laws for 3-5 months while the house is under construction. DSL wasn’t cutting it so we spent $20 setup and signed up for a no-contract $120 a month Starlink plan. hardware was free and 400 megabits down. Just setup my pipe mount:
