nah def not planning to keep up 150+ .. 120+ is definitely the norm now tho. i'd like to keep it below 130 (under 120 could be realistic). eventually getting it to ~80 would be nice, but i lead development at this startup i've been w/ for ~3 years, so I have alot on my plate. I enjoy nearly every minute of it tho lool. One reason I put in so many extra hours is, it's basically what my boss (CEO) and I do to keep this thing growing. If I was alone in the effort, I wouldn't do it. But my boss is a top notch crank master, so it feels great going to "battle" with him. It's a good combo, because he's the business/product/ceo guy, and i'm the engineer/architect guy, and we both can go non-stop all day if we have to lmfao. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

and nah, it's split between home & office. i wakeup, play with pups/water plants, go to the office and work 7-8 hours, come home, walk pups (1-2 hr)/eat, then get back to coding and eventually pass out. repeat 8|

oh also just to be clear:

we have like 8 other co-workers, a very solid team, love my co-workers. we don't expect them to put in extra hours, nor do we ask them. so they have a normal work-life balance. one guy puts in some extra, our data analyst, really cool dude, loves diving in to the numbers. but other than that, most people put in ~40-45 a week or so.

feels gr8 to build something from the ground up; just like building athleticism from the ground up etc.

if any of you remember that incident with my boss's brother & the coach, the coach was found guilty recently:

https://www.pix11.com/news/local-news/queens/former-wake-forest-coach-cries-on-witness-stand-in-queens-one-punch-death-case

boss & his fam finally got some justice.

sentencing is in a month or so.

4 hour dog walk w/ some runs mixed in. a good mile w/ the pups in there towards the end. they are in such good shape. they are knocked out right now tho.. :ninja:

two huge bull mastiffs came out of someone's yard and started sniffing james. i picked up gizmo immediately -> because he snaps. last thing i want is him snapping at a dog like that. james is good tho because he's more submissive, so he just cowers while they sniff him. glad that they were nice dogs. kinda scary tho. that's the only problem with having such small dogs, worry about them too much. one day maybe i'll get some ridgebacks, but i guess then you have to worry about them not hurting a smaller dog. can't win. at least i wouldn't worry about them getting crushed tho. i do have my knife on me just in case. 8|

Damn! Bull mastiffs are huge! There's one near my place that's behind a rickety wire fence and it goes nuts everytime I walk my dog past. Makes me nervous AF.

Ridgebacks are a great dog though. Still pretty huge. I used to have an Akita when I was growing up. He was about 60kgs but an absolute softie. Best thing about big dogs is no one ever bothers you when you're walking them. Mine now is only about 35kgs but he's quite tall and people cross the road to avoid us lol.

another crank sesh with the pups. they run better when we are heading home. if we're nowhere near home, they try to hold back.. well, gizmo does more-so, because he'd rather be sniffing things. james loves to run. they still run good but, when we're heading home, they crank it up hard and can sustain 13-14 mph for 400m or so. lol.

some good runs with the dogs. they ran great.

2020-02-16

walk/run

first run w/o the dogs in 5 months. just did some "hard" 400-800's. 5x or so. then very light jog home, ~1 mile.

will probably try to do one of those a week (sat or sun).

just thought this was cool. i mean nils has a strong presence in the dunk game. if he says one of my dunk mixes is top 3, i'll brag about it. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

itsnils (nils wagner, founder of hoopmixtape)

i remember when he linked the "i promise you" dunk mix on hoopmixtape. i think he really liked the vid.. but hardly anyone else did. got a flood of thousands of haters. still cracks me up.

this made me very happy today.

first flowers on my bougainvillea baby. this one was from my first set of cuttings, 3+ months ago.

i've been wondering which ones made it.. purple? red? pink? gold? etc..

got a gold one. wonder what the other ones are.

i tons of other stuff growing too. lots of good stuff this week.

took my friend (also my boss) to the tennis match today. dad couldn't go unfortunately.

turned out to be a sick match and perfect weather.

Opelka vs Raonic

Opelka won in 3 sets. Then he had to play again 3 hours later, and won in another 3 setter.

next year i'm going to get my dad & I some court side seats, like literally on the court. that'll be cool. i'd love to watch it from that close.
