- Start date
Ever so slowly, but accelerating...
Picking up...
I forgot to make 'nog. Or rather, I ran out of time to make 'nog. I'll get to it... later. Today is for skiing, camp chairs, and van beers.
aka one day before my financée gets her first Covid vaccination.
...momentum.
And I can assure you that things were stirring, especially the mice.
Cheeky little bastards have been growing more bold. Wife and I were watching TV last night and I saw one start climbing up the Christmas tree, then make a reappearance on the plant stand a short while later. I don't have the heart to set out death traps, so my campaign to humanely trap them (thus far unsuccessful, perhaps I have the only mice out there that don't like peanut butter) continues.
Meeting up with my parents and sister at a park later be responsible and socially distance like exchange Secret Santa gifts. Older bro and his GF won't be there, so the cat teepees will have to wait.

I'll have you all know I was in before The Great Merge which, if we're being honest here, is a bloody Christmas Miracle.
A long time ago in winter, I was at a friend's house. The friend was away and Hilarie and I were hanging out with his brother. A mouse started peeking out of one of the kitchen cupboards. Timmy had a pistol and I had a wrist rocket, and we commenced to assail the mouse. Leo arrived home to find ventilated kitchen walls and a dented milk pail.
When we first arrived in Bridport, Leo's house was notable, among other things, for bullet holes emerging from his front door.
Actually, three of us posted almost at the same time.
I could certainly keep worse company than you and @jonKranked .
Merry Christmas monkeys, may Baby Jesus make your wildest wishes materialize tonight. I am pretty sure a new steel HT frame materialized in my basement a while ago but tonight he will make it materialize in my life, too.
Got up early for a pre-rain-apocalypse ride. Wasn't as cold as yesterday and the air and snow were getting warmer with every minute but it was still pretty awesome. Now back to the holiday chores and stress because wife always goes nuts for no openly communicated reason.

I am not saying you need a cat, but you need a cat.
Postman clearly working hard today, just had a delivery of my new to me DPX2 at 7:40 this morning. Didn't think it was going to turn up before tomorrow - it's my wife's gift to me.
Might try and fit it a day early and get out for a ride this afternoon if the wind dies down enough.

I think women have some sort if genetic predisposition to this.
I'd be happy saying, "FTS" to all the holiday nonsense and just taking a few days off and eating good food.
Time to go find espresso.

Got on the Moonlander and hauled a load of holiday cards to the post office. An almost white coyote ran parallel to me for a portion of the return trip.
Does anyone remember the Baby Jesus and George Washington crossed the Delaware story?
Fuck mice.
Your stories would be more interesting if you lived in a cougars country.
I'm sure that he has cougars nearby...Your stories would be more interesting if you lived in a cougars country.

It's mostly milfs in my neighborhood
Meh. Rain is falling. A chance to turn over to snow later.
I am on-call and on standby for work now through the holiday weekend due to a project going live. All other employees were told to cancel Christmas plans and vacations and plan on working due to a storm that's going to hammer us. "All hands on deck" during a storm, and even office folk like myself have their storm assignments (I am a downed wire guard). I am exempted from this storm though due to my project. I've even got meetings Sunday!

Yeah, why ?
In true @canadmos fashion, I did the bulk of my Christmas shopping today.
Custom printed socks and blanket with the doggo and kitties head on them is unfortunately still MIA. Its somewhere between here and Georgia.
Beer'ing it now.
Delivery guy dropped off new bearings and replacement pivot for the trail bike. Kind of want to go get started on that...

Mushroom broth has been going since lunch, kitchen smells great. French bread in the machine.
I was thinking of reprising it...
Dead cow is out of the oven and curing, or whatever the hell it does when one covers it with tin foil for ten or fifteen minutes prior to serving. Let's see, a five and a half pound three rib roast will last two people for what, two meals?
And that is enough.
