SSAB - September 24, 2026

Hey we got rain! Probably the last for a while! Why haven’t the leaves turned colour yet?

Up and out early to… study Chinese? Practicing Chinese writing once again! Gotta get into the habit! Last Chinese class today with one of my teachers, but signed up with another one AND… another language? Why?

Out to the gym for deadlifts then back to the apartment to run on the treadmill! Steve, is that the one you’re trying to get rid of? YES!

Video editing started! Gotta get this done!

And what am I reading now? American Gods by Neil Gaiman, a very easy read!
