perfect temperature! soon after taking this after getting nice and toasty, odin and i stepped out and jumped barefoot in the snowbank outside the sauna 🙂
preparing for the sauna, i was reminded of the time santa visited us in the sauna!

between the treehouse movie theater, the finnish sauna ( building on left ), the fire pit, and The Girls ( chicken coop on right ), i bet when i finally build the hobbit house treehouse on top of the deck, it will have serious airbnb potential.
i think there are a lot of people who would like a weekend of treehouse movies, saunas and tending to The Girls with the freshest breakfast eggs you can imagine! just kidding. sort of.
saunas with odin on thanksgiving and any other time are but of the many things for which i am thankful. hope you all had a good day.
surely, i don’t have to explain the term yooper to you, do i?
celebrated my 43rd trip around the sun w/ a 14 mile run. alone. practicing no-mind ( that my preferred birthday activity is a long, solitary run tells you all you need to know about me 🙂 ). then, mad max fury road with kris blew it apart.
ended with a 210°F sauna. all in all, a pretty good day 🙂
the sauna stones from a secret, undisclosed stretch of yoopers say you can find some of the world’s best sauna stones. after 7 years of getting water tossed on them and throwing off steam, they’re looking great.

post 10 mile run endocannabinoids pulsing through my veins with the lyrics of the last song of the run running through my head while i take a sauna with odin at his grandparents home in the upper peninsula
Taking control of the elements,
Making them mine, making them mine.Touching up all of the elements,
Takin’ my time, takin’ my time.Takin’ a hole of the present day,
Pushin’ it all, pushin’ it all, pushing it.Takin’ control of my destiny,
Makin’ it fine, makin’ it fine, makin’ it.
