Friday Notes 071 – Sept 20 2019

This week has been way more stable with the kids and school. I’ve been helping coach x-country practice two mornings a week and we’ve seen a bunch of kids whose parents said would never come do awesome and have a great time. For me, this weekend is a 50km race that I feel fairly well…

Yes it’s the second week of school, and yes we’re still doing back to school stuff as we get our kindergarten kid worked up to full-time classes. I mean she’s ready, but lots of other kids aren’t so it’s gradual entry for everyone. For us it’s mostly meant tears when she isn’t staying at school…

Kids are back in school. Cross-country practice has started. The house is not quieter because of the kids sort of being away. In fact, there is a staggered entry for Kindergarten, so we’re running back and forth between the school extra this week and next week to get my daughter in and out of school.…

We had a short week around here because we took the kid’s backpacking to the Northern Terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail. I just thought the campsite was cool when I ran through it a few weeks back, but the campsite wasn’t the coolest part. The best part was seeing all the PCT hikers that…

It was a short week this week, really only about 2.5 days of work. I had Monday off to go do a big run in the mountains, and then my wife is leaving in a few short hours (I write this Thursday) to race near Mt Rainer. That means I’m on kid patrol after lunch…

Lot’s of coding was done this week, and a bit of running, and a few chapters were edited in my upcoming book called The Freelancer’s Guide to Marketing. I don’t have an ETA yet, but I’m making progress weekly so maybe early in the school year. If you have marketing questions you want to make…

Early this week I launched my new Statamic site. I didn’t bother with all the content so if you’re looking for a book you purchased you’ll find that stuff at [store.curtismchale.ca](https://store.curtismchale.ca) for now. I may move everything over to Statamic and Stripe long term, but for now I wanted to get future content on Markdown…

I’ve almost got my new Statamic site ready to launch. No, it won’t have quite everything that I have now. My WooCommerce stuff will run at store.curtismchale.ca (not live yet), at least for now. I also made a few hours progress on The Freelancer’s Guide to Marketing. Needs a complete read through for proofing then…

We’re having one of our best weather weeks in a while here in Chilliwack. I got out on a nice run on Monday which took me all the way to the US border, where I met some friendly Americans. Then back up a mountain and to the car. If you’ve found my content helpful then…

This Monday was my first Monday off in a long time, at least as a regular practice. Going forward, I’ll be heading on adventures most Monday’s. Climbing mountains and such because, who says you have to work Monday? Accordingly, I’ve adjusted the numbers in my budget so that I understand how many billable hours I…
