What up my peeps, welcome to the @D00k13 Digest, having a slower day with SkipTheDishes while having my second day of vacation from Portofino I have been thinking about what I will do for my upcoming birthday and time off once I am done with Skip. Last year was intense doing everything from whale watching to tubing and even a little mountain climbing but with everything going on this year it will be no comparison yet I do have a couple things planned and do intend to enjoy myself!

Last year I did not get to goto the Fast Karts in Parksville and this year I intend to no matter if someone will join me or not. The one thing I need to do is call the office and ask about having a GoPro attached to a personal helmet and whether it is approved. I would think since it will be free promotion they would be more than happy to entertain my recording the drive, not like they need it but maybe I could work something out with them depending if they like what I come up with for my personal vlog 🤔 one eye on the prize and the second on potentials!

We have a few days set aside to go for a BBQ at the Lake Cabin which will be nice, most likely sleep there so that we may drink a little. Hopefully the weather turns around so we can spend the day swimming first before the evening with family eating and drinking 🤞

Oddly enough I feel like playing Mini-Golf and with one of the last times being with my late buddy Tristan Watterworth when we also went to the Go-Karts here in Victoria I feel that it is a great way of commemorating our friendship while also celebrating my birthday. I so wish he could join me on the Fast-Karts, he never got that experience, our friendship was all about how we could get a little squirrely and had we gone together I know that I would never have heard the end of it!

Even with being faced with this housing complexity I am determined to enjoy our vacation I just hope that in the process we can figure out where we will be living next.
