Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (30/27)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - doing some work on the "gate" section.  Getting more foliage stuff so it is starting to look pretty good.  Otherwise, not a very productive day.

In the interim - as expected, didn't do much of anything.  Except buy more beer.

Overall - I don't know why I keep doing this.

  

See you tomorrow.     

February 25, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (29/27)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the overhead branches for the "gateway" bit.  And working on the gateway bit itself.  Shot a couple more videos to watch how treelines "move" when walking past them.  Made some progress on the "gateway" in terms of actual useful imagery, which was nice.  Still working on the "side walk" bit but that seems OK in the background.

In the interim - other than the Yes, not a bad day.  Walked, found out Fireman's "French dip" will expire shortly.  My Edison ID is deactivated, though I suspect that's because I checked "No emails" for forms.  If I don't get a paycheck on Friday, I'll be fine.  Still it would be nice...

Overall - nice to work on things early, even though I'm tired.  We seem to be back to getting very little night sleep.  And the booze every other day.  

  

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (28/27)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - gathered some tree pics.  Started working on removing the backgrounds, etc, on some of them and have some interesting ideas about what to do with them.  Later, more work on the tree stuff and the overhead dome.  Shot a video to see what different tree-line depths do when walking along a path.  Result seems to be close trees "move" fast and far-away trees are much "slower."

In the interim - got up and out of bed somewhat early for the first time in quite a while and immediately went to work.  Tired, but it feels nice to be productive so early on.  Worked a bit on tax forms.  

Overall - pretty good day overall, though a big block in the middle where I was exhausted.  Went to Asia Cafe, they are expanding.

  

See you tomorrow.     

February 23, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (28/26)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing really.  Looking at tree pics.

In the interim - Very cold today, went for a long walk anyway.

Overall - that was the day.  Nice to finally get a No.

  

See you tomorrow.     

February 22, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (28/25)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nice detail work on the trucks.

In the interim - great phone call as usual.

Overall - very cold, barely left the house, but managed the "Sunday chores" early on.

  

See you tomorrow.     

February 21, 2026 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (27/25)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some very good work on the trucks, particularly the second one.

In the interim - swept the walkway because I was tired of having to dance around the dirt.  Mostly slept but did manage the usual long walk.  Most dogs seemed afraid of me.  I don't like that.

Overall - well, we've crossed over into Yes Positive land.  Maybe I can reverse this.

  

See you tomorrow.     

February 20, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (26/25)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some nice work on the truck.

In the interim - AAA replaced the battery, expensive but I was expecting worse.

Overall - ill and tired all day.  Crossed the Yes/No line.
