Owen drove a 9.8 km run (67 minutes) bookended by two shorter 1.5 km runs, hitting 16,754 steps on the day. He slept just over 8 hours and weighed in at 62.37 kg.

Built a new weekday-morning job prep pipeline that scrapes LinkedIn via the gaming PC's logged-in Chrome over CDP and uses headless `claude -p` to pick five best-fit jobs and generate tailored resume and cover-letter PDFs — prepare-only, never applies. The build cost hours debugging why Chrome wouldn't bind the remote debugging port on the default profile (background Chrome was keeping it alive and dropping the flag); the fix was a dedicated profile launched via `schtasks` in the interactive desktop session rather than over SSH. The pipeline is fully built and verified except for the one-time LinkedIn login and first end-to-end run, with the systemd timer not yet enabled.

Coordinated logistics with several people: confirmed to Michaela that he'd pick her up around 4:30, told Elvis the upcoming weekend trip leaves tomorrow at noon and returns Monday with a separate Friday trip the following week, and confirmed with Danielle that he'd arrive in NJ late on the evening of the 30th. Danielle got his new bed assembled and they sorted out dresser placement; she's holding off on covering the mattress for a few days. Meanwhile Elvis and Charles had an extended back-and-forth about Pokémon cards, a disputed Charizard pull, and who paid whom at the club that Owen mostly stayed out of.

Made a $5,000 car payment and continued the job application push — got auto-confirmations from Attentive, Nira Energy, and Compa, plus a thank-you note from Maddi Straton after what was presumably an interview or meeting. Food was mixed: a keto-leaning lunch of salami, cheese, and protein Doritos, low-calorie snacks through the afternoon, then two taco salads (birria and chicken) for dinner totaling about 1,000 kcal, landing the day at 1,768 kcal.
