Sticking to being a daily creator I have decided to completely put down main stream everything once again, no television, no social media, no YouTube. The only exception will be consuming other creators works, looking for examples or trying to put together an idea of what to create myself.
Today started off with a nice brisk walk taking a slightly different path then usual as Jerry decided he wanted to explore all the dead ends. We ended up circling through the park then he made a beeline straight for home, we were out for only about 25 minutes before he had enough of the cold. Today was recycling day which may explain why he was so interested in exploring the dead ends, I can only imagine what kind of information he can get from sniffing peoples bins. With getting up extra early I was able to get my vlog up for the day, put together my lunch, take out recycling and do a small amount curation before taking Jerry out for a final pee then heading to work.
The workday went extremely smooth, no issues with power outages so that was good. We had a solid crew on today even though slightly shorthanded everyone pulled their weight. We had one small mistake, well in the eyes of the business it was fairly large but in my opinion it’s a small error but we did have to throw away 250 kg of product as instead of jumping in the oven it shrank. We are still trying to figure out exactly what was the cause but my assumption is the protein value within the white flour has changed thus when we use sponge it has to mix for 2 to 3 extra minutes to develop properly. If the gluten is not fully developed your product will tend to shrink in the oven as the strands of gluten will tighten up as the water evaporates from the product. All in all it was a pretty smooth day allowing me to leave an hour early, I still find it strange having that little bit of financial freedom thanks to my second job I can actually leave early when the opportunity presents itself.
Tonight‘s dog walk is extremely cold which I am sure glad my phone has speech to text and my Canadian accent is fairly legible, only a few miss spellings which I will correct when I get in the house and I can use my fingers again.
We headed out on the usual loop down and around the stadium but once again tonight Jerry decided to go on a little extra loop and we came across the shadow in the image above wiggling in the darkness. I spent about five minutes trying to figure out what was causing the shadow and the movement, no idea where it’s coming from as there are no flags or signs anywhere that I can tell. It was Jerry the first notice the shadow and he was also looking for what the cause may be, most likely thinking it was something he could chase.
We had been out for about an hour and my phone had dropped a little over 50% battery life writing this while walking, it will be interesting once everything starts to freeze seeing how far I can go and how close I will get to my phone dying each night. Looks like tonight I will be on schedule for bed at 10 PM, a hour earlier than last night but still a hour later than I wish. Jerry was being a nut case doing every trick in his arsenal trying to get an extra scoop of food from me as you can see in the gif above. Jerry did get an extra treat but according to the vet he is still slightly overweight so I must practice restraint and not cave to his bottomless pit.
