This is the last workday for me this month. I’m off to Hawaii for a break, so only coping tips for the next week.
Aloha.

A Day Off(ish)
I usually don’t post too many things about breaks, but I think that might be a bit of a mistake. I’ve struggled to get away from work at times, as have many others in technology, so I’m making a note here that I’m gone (somewhat).
I’m in Las Vegas today for a volleyball tournament. A second job for me is coaching kids, so I’m actually working today. This is a busy competition time, and I have a few trips to various places this month, this being the first.
It’s work, but it’s a nice break from technology and my work at Redgate Software. Wish us luck in the Red Rock Rave tournament.

Taking a Break
That’s it for this year. I’m working today, but heading off on vacation with family for the rest of the week.
It’s been a great year, and I look forward to 2022 starting next Monday.

Going Unwired
I was thinking that I might work a bit this week, but decided to not try.
I’m up in Elk Haven this week, near Mount Rushmore with my wife and a few friends. Kids are handling the ranch, and this is a vacation time for us. We went last year and loved it, especially as this was one of the few places we could go during the pandemic.
The reason I considered working is my wife will ride for a few hours each day, and then do some horse care with her friends. In the past, we’ve stayed near Custer and I’ve been able to work for a half day or so while she’s busy and then enjoy the night with her. I considered that here, as I’m the only non rider.
However, Elk Haven is in the middle of nowhere, E of Custer and really on National Forest land. There are no cell signals there, the wi-fi is incredibly spotty, not to mention only at the common lodge, and a drive to any of the towns nearby is a 30 minute one-way trip.
So I gave up, won’t bother with the laptop, and will enjoy a week being unwired.
See you next week.
