Lead yourself and stay on top of life

Home security cameras Arlo
Annual subterranean termite inspection is required in order to keep the warranty valid. Scheduled long before i flew to Glacier.

 

Hurricane Irma tracking
Heading East and maybe avoiding USA completely.

 

Lake McDonald fire protection 2017
Wish we could send some of Irma’s water to extremely dry and firey Glacier. i check Glacier’s FB page several times per day as well as their webcams.

 

Uni-Dose chemical injectors
Our well works but the chlorine (water sanitizer) injector doesn’t. Water quickly becomes super smelly (rotten egg smell, from sulfur). It’s a 2-hour, $250 effort. i had a replacement ready for just such an inconvenient event.

 

Apple Keynote event iPhone X
It’s on the calendar. Won’t miss it.

 

Lead yourself and stay on top of life. This is the essence of what it means to lead. Have a picture of the future that is better than now. Much better.

Much better.

i’m the only one who can do this for me.

Same with you.

Good luck.

A four-hour cruise on Lake McDonald

Lake McDonald 2017
Second cruise in as many days. The Village Inn is on the right shoreline.

Today’s cruise will last 4 hours.

Weird how clear this photo is.

 

Disney Keynote Speaker
Amazing how relaxed we are. We stopped, floated, talked, and gazed.

 

Lake McDonald 2017
Relaxed and just floated, almost motionless.

 

Disney Keynote Speaker
Relaxed and loving it. Howard asked if i wanted to drive…

Heavy smoke had me concerned about the 10-mile trip back to Apgar.

It wasn’t so bad and Howard let me skipper.

We tooled around on the South end and Howard got to sit up front and chill.

We both loved it.

The rest of our agenda included dinner, light shopping, ice cream, and packing for a 3:45AM drive to the airport.

Easier to see the fire in the zoom from in the photo below. This photo taken from our room.

 

Lake McDonald fire 2017
It’s 11 miles away and the sun will be here soon. You can easily spot the flare up.

 

Lake McDonald fire 2017
This calm is forecasted to submit to a Canadian cold front later tonight. The high winds spell potential disaster for Lake McDonald Lodge.

 

An entire unplanned day at Apgar Village Inn.

It’s our final day at Glacier National Park.

Howard committed yesterday to boating again today.

The time of day and duration are wide open.

We also know we will eat three square meals today.

In the working world it’s called margin.

Quite possibly the last time ever

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
The Sun is finally hitting the Big Horn Ram (center) Howard spotted on our way up.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
Smoke from the Sprauge fire is creeping up the valley towards Logan Pass.

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
It’s quickly making its way to Logan Pass.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
Check out time at Granite is 10am. We told Margaret we’d be a little late. It took us three hours round trip, including nearly an hour at the overlook.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
This floor is made from fossils from a prehistoric ocean floor.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
Love it.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
Packed up and time to hike four miles down to The Loop to catch the Glacier National Park free shuttle.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
One last look towards Logan pass (where our car awaits) from our balcony.

 

Grinnell Glacier Overlook Hike
Eventually, we saw The Loop, but from here we still had over two miles to hike.

 

The Loop Hike descent
The Loop Hike descent, literally no shade the last two miles, due to a fire years ago.

Believe it or not, some people completely underestimate how much water to carry.

 

The Loop Hike descent
The bottom trail (Goat Haunt) takes you to Canada. i’d like to try it.

 

The Loop Hike descent
Covered the four miles in 1:40 (25 mins/mile).

 

The Loop Hike descent
Who would’ve thought there’d be a red light on Going to The Sun Road? Hoping to make a 2pm Vacation Rental Home on Lake McDonald.

 

The Loop Hike descent
The Smoke had cleared in the couple hours it took us to catch the shuttle.

 

Quite possibly the last time ever staying in Granite Park Chalet.

Could be the final visit to Glacier National Park.

Could be the last time Howard and i see each other.

Not to be morbid, just to be realistic.

And to be inspired by the present moment.

It works for me, and has for the past eight years.

However, with each passing year, my present moments keep getting better.
