Anything after 5 days is basically free. This years been so fucking weird with the late snow, and then the days that have been powder days have either been holiday skiing or days I've been unable to go (Supposedly a good powder day coming tomorrow, and guess who has an oncologist appointment ) have just kind of sucked away my motivation/enthusiasm this year. Feels like I pissed away 500 bucks but I'm just not feeling it.

While not cheap, it seems like the best option. I told the wife I didn't miss boarding because at least on Mt Hood the conditions were 50/50 at best. It was $100 a day with gas and stuff with only a half chance of not totally sucking. My odds are better on the bike and that's when I decided where my money would go.

Bear?! You eat bear? The one time I tasted it, it was gross...

Im close to 2 years of WFH now. There was a 2 month stretch in the fall I was in the office part time. Now we're back to full remote work

2 years in March. We have been coming in Monday and Friday for a few months, but the return to office plan is on hold.

As long as I have to wear a mask while in office, it best not be more than 2 days a week.

Most people were ignoring the corporate mandate and still worked from home anyways. I was only doing half days in office since my daughter's preschool was on the way, I could drop her off and pick her up

I have my first in-person meeting since March 2020 next week. It's two special needs employees who need face-face assistance. I had to get director level approval for it too.

Company also just shut down all back to office plans indefinitely. All on-site meetings are to be cancelled unless we are contractually obligated and even then we have really substantial COVID protocols that must be followed.

Bear's flavor and texture, like most game, is highly dependent on what it eats. Bears that eat garbage taste like greasy shit, bears that eat berries and bugs taste like pork. Super delicious and in a lot of areas with overpopulation, ethical, meat.

This is actually good knowledge to file away in the back of your mind for later, as I'm sure the same principle applies to eating humans.

I decided to beat the system. I still come into work, but don't do a god damned thing.

I'm not in a full day. My day is usually 6-2ish but now more like 8-noonish. I came in today vs Monday to get the tires on the wife's car (Costco is a mile from the office) and have a 1:30-2:30 meeting. That will be the longest day yet.

So easier to do from home, though. I grocery shop on office days, too. I will actually get stuff done today, too.

Wow, I got a semi decent sleep night. Thank you edibles.

Woke up feeling good, but now I just feel like blah.

 

[Nick]

Also, FTS, I'm going skiing.

Soft win. Great snow, but high winds (70?) shut down lifts. I bailed. Much colds.

 

[sunringlerider]

I had a pretty delicious braunschweiger sandwich for lunch. I am afraid of what liver sausage farts are going to smell like.

I thought: WTF, liver? So looking it up it seems that in the US they call a different type of sausage Braunschweiger compared what the Germans do.

 

[SkaredShtles]

my LL pass is already paid for.
Epic will be after travel.

I thought you were Ikon?

Walk through now followed by handing over a big fucking check in exchange for 30 years of indebtedness to the bank.

I'm close to 5 years WFH now. When I started, I *did* go into the office regularly for about 3 months...

I decided to beat the system. I still come into work, but don't do a god damned thing.

I'm beating the system similarly... from my couch.

Fucking wind this year, amirite??

Bad. They're gonna smell bad. Real bad. Like "are you sure you're still alive" bad...

3. Cookie?
4. Is that what you call it?
5. So bad.

 

[Full Trucker]

Still have yet to go skiing this season. Not sure if that season pass is going to work out financially this time around.

Ski season ended last week, you missed it. Sorry, buddy.

Every year I have most of my bear meat (Hams, Roasts, shoulders, stew meat) all corned and smoked. Literally the leanest meat I eat. So much that the butcher has to throw in some pork fat for the grind and sausage. The Hams and roasts are typically gone within a month. I cant help myself. The bears up here eat nothing but berries, legumes, Kokanee salmon and a ton of succulents.

Mine as well, but I don't have hardware at home. While it would be cool to have a laser drill at home, I don't have the space or power requirements.

I had to look up as well. It would appear the Germans do indeed do it a little differently.

My dad got me into it when I was a kid. Aldi has always had it and called if Braunschweiger, not sure why. I don’t get it too often since my wife hates it.

You're correct, sir. My typo.

It does, indeed, appear that the Germans do Braunschweiger correctly. I'd eat that.

I won't eat the Americanized abomination...

The most important question is: when are you headed to Jackson?

More of this @johnbryanpeters, MOAR!

I gotta dig up some of my reports from the box

 

[Changleen]

James webb setup this week is pretty interesting, mirrors going out now for those who are retired or shirk work

I’ve been following this, great stuff.

 

[gonefirefightin]

I’ve been following this, great stuff.

Been a great start of the year for the geeks, cant wait to see images of the deep field image sector

 

[Changleen]

Yes, some of them are talking about the possibilities of combining Hubble and Webb imagery. Sounds awesome.
Imagine if we spent our defence budgets on this sort of shit instead of killing each other.

 

[gonefirefightin]

See, now ya ruined it with politics, lol

Although in this case I would say this was just practical. I didn’t have a particular object of animosity in mind.

Soend money on killing people by sending them to deep space. Two birds one very expensive stone.
