Ata Maire Monkies!

Friday morning here, and I just finished my last 12.5 hour night shift of this rotation.
Gotta say I really do like the view from my new office.... Much nicer than my other office down in the bunker.
(Had to turn the lights off to get the shot, but unfortunately still a lot of reflections).

my sleep sucked until I got a CPAP with an airfit p30i headgear. Now I sleep really well with no snoring. went from 70 apnic episodes per hour to less than 10 for the entire night

I just wear a mouth guard, it stopped my Ox levels dropping in to the 70s.
I didn't expect it work so well, there'd be a lot of people on CPAP's that could get away with just using a mouthguard.

We had a pizza party at work to celebrate "harvest" because saying Halloween could offend someone. Who that is I don't know.

my kids can't wear costumes at school for what I suspect is the same reason. Officially it is to remove "distractions" but quite frankly, fuck that.

[boostindoubles]

Feels like Friday.

But it's not! It's Thursday.

Not sure how I feel about it.

Made some progress on some work projects that have been dogging me for months. That felt good!

associated with any holidays

If you're calling it a holiday and I'm still at work, it's not a holiday it's just BS.

[canadmos]

It's 6:30 and not raining, where's the people to collect their candy??

 

[Jozz]

Tools are out of the forest.
I'm done with this "work" thing.

Bonne fête @rideit

 

[6thElement]

I think we need a where's @rideit update. Or where has AA stranded him currently.

 

[rideit]

Miami, bitches. Think I’ll get some decent Cuban food.

 

[rideit]

All in all, worst birthday evar, but I’ll make the best of it.

 

[jimmydean]

It's gonna be a wet one, ugh. We might not get many kids if it stays this wet.

We usually get about 400, not sure we will see those numbers tonight.

<edit> starting early.

 

[mandown]

Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween

 

[boostindoubles]

It was hilarious watching the shy kid who loves candy wrestle with knocking on strangers doors...

 

[eric strt6]

50 kids so far

 

[Toshi]

This much candy lasted 2 hours. Out now.

Just like Christmas and Easter

 

[gonefirefightin]

Had one knock but forgot it was Halloween and didn't have the candy ready and the E bikes were up against the front door so I couldn't get to the door in time and they were gone.

So, no trick or treat. raining sideways as well

 

[scrublover]

Somewhere between 250-300 kids.

Other people's children are exhausting.

Lights are out and the doors are locked but I am exhausted just listening to the little fuckers.

Dog goes into murder mode when people come to the front door and I am not locking him up all night.

We took turns. One outside managing sugar disbursement, one inside on dog duty. Was a nice warm night.

Don't tell them. It'll explode their brains.

Made it to Lima. Get to use my hotel at the airport for two whole hours !

Our hilly and recluse neighborhood gets no visit for Halloween. The city is doing a considerable effort for them little focks.

My dog would absolutely love having kids knock on the door. She would think it's stuff for her from the Amazon guy.

So rideit does know where the quote button is

When I say my dog goes into murder mode, that is the from the point of view of the visitor. In his mind people are coming over to play with him, which means they need to be tackled to the ground and dragged around like a blanket. He is gentler with children but they will be beaten about the head and shoulders with his tail.

There was a solid hour break in the rain, but it came back hard.

We had about 250. We were giving 2 bags the last hour and still have at least 150 bags left. Started with about 450 bags.

Neighbors commented that is was better than we had expected given the weather
