Snuck in a 28mile loop with the wife this afternoon. 10 more days of riding before back at work. Right now only tomorrow looks iffy for "nice" riding conditions.

Having a party?
Party's in the pants but I don't wear those so I guess one could do the math.
What type of wood is that ?
I need a mantle. Very fancy, naturally.
A little overconfident on my jaunt this morning. Hit an ice patch and went down pretty hard. Had to test out the new bike before I have to give it back. Shimano SLX drivetrain for the win. Shifter and brake levers are too tight for winter gloves.
Voicemail set to "I won't be available until 1/3" and work phone turned off. OOO setup for email with the same. I have 2 emails that I need to send to a director or mgr - depending on who's in tomorrow - then computer is off until 1/3.
I'm ready for a fucking nap. For a week.

I never noticed until now that (what I thought was) ‘deep sleeping’ avatar is actually holding a bottle and has apparently passed out from booze. Huh.Sorry you guys get such short breaks.
Even more appropriate probably.
I even have to use PTO. Kill list.Sorry you guys get such short breaks.
Did I see that Peatey did that whole ride, or just a portion of it?
Ah. Good. Because that would have been insane.
Crustymas eve, today was the 3rd day I've had off work this month, it's been busy!
I spent the day repairing drainage that was wrecked by contractors using my farm track as an easy way to get to their worksite on the ridgeline next door.
Been feeling pretty shit today, no energy and had a couple of dizzy spells so I suspect my arrhythmia is mildly playing up again.
Went to the supermarket at about 5pm and saw something that totally made my week in a #ThisIsSoNZ way.
As I was queuing for the selfservice checkout I saw a young guy (late teens @ a guess) having trouble paying, his card was declined & he was obviously stressing over his christmas eve food shopping.
The speaker of parliament Trevor Mallard is a local and was walking past on his way to a checkout terminal with his shopping in tshirt* shorts and jandals.
He stopped and paid the kids bill with his contactless card, gave the kid a thumbs up and wandered off to checkout himself.
I've seen him around a lot and chatted with him a bit, and this is totally the sort of guy he is, what a top bloke!
*his race shirt from doing the Coast to Coast race no less!

I at least get a week free. Understaffed the other week as a result but I’ll take that bargain.
Just saw Multi-Spider Man. Was entertained.
Despite that I think that the new Spideys are some of the better MCU, it is still just MCU and in the ‘lite’ entertainment bucket. Sony’s 1st Spiderverse kicked the shit out of all of it IMNSHO. There is apparently a new one but I don’t care enough to look for the trailer.
Anyway whatever, It is festivus eve, early evening. I just had Peking duck, home made chicken hoisin cabbage gyoza and am drunking a ton of Prosecco and Aperol. I maybe somewhat lightly toasted too but shhh! Shhhh! So noisy.
Hope you all are good too.

Black walnut.
Oh ya??? How big and what flavor? I’ve got a thing for wood.
