August 2025
·2 mins
August was a little strange, mainly because I spent 10 days in Minneapolis for business. The trip was good, but way too long.
- In Minneapolis, I went to the Mall of America and Up-Down Arcade Bar, among other places. The best meal I had there was Manny’s Steakhouse, by far.
- I started a 10 week cut. This week is begins week 3. 🤞.
- I’m still PTing a shoulder injury. It’s annoying, but I’m trying to Trust The Process. In the meantime, I have a new personal best back squat at 280 lbs (127 kg).
- Rainbow City Marching Band had their final performance of the year at Alki Pride. It was my first time seeing the beautiful Alki Beach Park. The concert band starts next week with a repertoire I’m excited to play.
- We spent some time at the amazing Deception Pass State Park, 100% will be returning.
- We went to our second Stardew Valley Festival of Seasons. I’ve been to many orchestra performances at Benaroya Hall and I’ve never seen it so crowded. This performance was much more polished than the previous performance, with a larger ensemble, at a larger venue.
- We started playing Diablo 3 on the Nintendo Switch, my first time playing any sort of game like this. It’s been fun so far. I’m at level 21 so far.
