Good Morning!!

We got an unexpected dusting of snow on the ground this morning....here in the South, that means schools are at a two-hour delay. Great. Call the in-laws early and get them to take kiddo to school a bit later on so I can get on the road and contribute to the gross national product today....

Got a busy day - need to get some billing for projects done, and get a few others over to permitting to keep it all moving forward. I think today's musical selection will have to be kinda gnarly to get me through...coffee isn't putting a dent into my alertness...

Hello all. Schedule and weather will finally allow for me to ride my bike into work today.

My should-be-retired co-worker has called in sick another day, and preemptively called in tomorrow and possibly Thursday as well! We have a backup system so some one else will cover, but really, people: use this as a sign to suggest she leave, and never come back again.

'Morning, friends. Another morning, another swim. The swim went fine but I started to feel a side cramp after I finished, and it got progressively worse as I drove into work. Not really a side stitch, and not a case of having to poop. For a few minutes there I considered not going into work so I could go home and lie down, but it's feeling better now. WTF.

Our oil burner was smoking this morning and the whole damn neighborhood smells like burning oil. So, we've shut that down until the oil company can come check on it. Glad that didn't happen while we were on vacation.

Why good morning!
That is a good question. I'm not sure.

My battery was dead in the M this morning and I need to move it periodically because HOA, so I got to spend the morning frantically running around getting the car started while getting ready to leave and taking the trash bins out. At least my commute is 5min quicker in the M :).

But my new desk (cube ftl) was raised to wookie height when I came in this morning. No more hunching over the keyboard!

I'm about to go full out office space on this Nortel BCM. :banghead:

On the plus side, buddies and myself are going out for Indian food tonight. Local buffet type shop, with god damn amazing food. :drool::drool::drool::drool:

Freewheel on the Moonlander has been replaced.

Came home yesterday to discover that the town had managed to hit our land line with a raised dump truck. Telco says they can fix by Thursday, say what? Last time this happened, it was both power lines and the phone lane, so in theory I should be happy...

Trails are shit, shiny white ice.

Took the dog and the boy to the dog park. Got home just inside for it to start snowing sideways...... Cause you know, the best thing is when it's 49 out all morning, the 4 inch sheet of ice that ic your street half melts to a giant lake, only to have the temps drop below freezing in a half hour.......
