light workday, only 5 transports scheduled. Glad we left Fort Bragg CA yesterday, Heavy rain with a flood watch and high surf warning. Pouring here too. Front 150' of the Santa Cruz Warf collapsed in the heavy surf yesterday, FUn shit.

better finish my espresso and get the hell out of the house

was planning on doing some crabbing this morning in order to bring a couple dozen bugs to the Festivus gathering today but 26’ swells, 65mph gusts say otherwise.

I'm going to take my time this morning instead. Wrap the last of the gifts, throw the chainsaw in the truck, and head over to have din din and Xmas with the fam.

In other news,

just a reminder as men, be sure and have your rotary cutters, tin snips or pocket knives proudly at the ready for kryptonite like blister packaging. It’s our time to shine gents, make us proud!

More snow, more treadmill. I was going to go into the office today but decided to WFH due to said snow.

We got an e-mail from HR saying anyone working ON SITE today is allowed to work a half day and take the rest of the day off as paid company time. I told my staff they can WFH and do the same thing.

Hey slackers! No work today. Derping around at home with the kids. How are you?

Re-tubelessed the busted kenda last night. Hole closed instantly which makes me feel weird, but I guess that’s a good sign. Cheap tpu tube came out and folded back up like nothing ever happened, so that’s neat.

Girlfriend decided she did not like any plans about moving to Europe and broke up last night. She is what set off the divorce but even without her it was still the right thing to. There has been so many things happening that required so much to make it last this long but I had really hope we would make it now my life finally was in order like I felt we were at the finish line. Didn't make for the best night sleep but its nice to have a resolution instead of going around feeling something is wrong and not making things happen.

volcano fun yesterday - sorry if it's a repeat, I don't remember to come in here and leave a deposit every day.

tiny amount of snow here. way warmer today (28 vs 1 degree at dawn).

unfortunately working today. tonight xmas eve dinner at my sister's. all night brisket in the smoker starting sometime this afternoon or evening. family dinner at our home tomorrow.

trying to focus on work today. kind of sad that it's a workday (I thought we had today AND tomorrow off).

Cycled my bicycle. Told my staff that can go home at lunchtime to do so. Guess I should wrap the presents I have to give.

Plan is to do a stupid tough ride in the morning before family starts turning up at lunchtime.

Starting physical therapy today. But first, I need to have a work call to explain to a business partner that we agreed to split the cash that comes out of the deal, but they took all of the cash and now have to put back the money my company is due.

Put a longer power cord on my dust collector. The factory 3’ one just wasn’t quite enough, wtf Jet. Someday I’ll put in a big central system. Til then the small mobile system works swell.

Decorating cookies with the kiddos, then running a couple quick errands.

Probably pedal the to no where during nap.
Didn’t figure today would be a good day to go make cold calls. So no seed spreading.

Remind them of what a shame it would be if something happened to their knees.

Germ tube Tuesday so I had my tuna tacos yesterday.

A bit "cheesey" but otherwise on point.

Grenada is the spice island and not the hot sauce island, but the hot sauce was surprisingly good.

Saw this "custom" VW on the walk back..

15 "days" of snorkeling out of 17 total on the ground, not bad Obama.

A great vacation now back to the snau and xc skis / fat biking but first an overnight in Miami.

If I had to kneecap everyone who did this, I'd get carpel tunnel from kneecapping people.
My buddy has a business partner. They were discussing christmas bonuses for the team members. The B.P. says, "I don't think we should give xxxxx more than $400 for his bonus. He is terrible with money and if we give him more he'll just waste it on something"

Business partners for the win!

Low key COVID day 3 or something. Might leave the house, but I doubt it. I feel fine, but the wife is convinced she gave it to me, so I comply.

If you are looking for a place to eat I was here the other night. Food was great and band playing. It was a fun place.

Riding past the morgue.
Had a weird dream about Honey Badger. We were walking on a beach, I think, and I did something to upset her to which I promptly apologized. Then she turned into Adam Sandler.

Crab shells are just God’s original blister packaging.
Change my mind.

In a van.... down by the river
Up at 4:XX so I could hike into the woods and sit in a tree. Now I'm in said tree, waiting for the deer that will definitely not come.
Fixed!
And I think I'm getting sick, I can feel the itch in my throat. DAMMIT

At least you'll be sick for your holidays! :disgust:

Symptomless COVID is *still* a thing, you know... :clue:

Just steal a battery like everyone else
battery stealing is a thing?

related: I crammed all our luggage into our electric car on the way out here to Seattle (via the airport, in turn accessed via the A Line train)… because it has no catalytic converters to steal as it sits in the RTD park and ride lot for 7 days. I learned this lesson after my experience with the Land Cruiser.
