You’re going to need a bigger boat
Waking up in a hotel in Pensacola near perdido key. Nice beaches here, pure white sand.
Looked at over 24 listings yesterday, liked this one the best

I’m confused on what those other things that look like houses to the right and left are???
Last night's drive home was a mess. Storms rolled through and there were closed roads everywhere. As I was sitting in traffic at a red light, I heard a crash behind me, so I looked in the rearview mirror and the car immediately behind me was upside down, spinning, and there was debris everywhere. What the hell!? As luck would have it, the car next to me on the other side of the road was a cop.
I mean, this is a busy road but the speed limit is 40. Traffic was all backed up, so I don't how the hell a car would end up upside down. This was like 20 feet behind me.

hello!
Sushi lunch with wife, some xmas shopping, and I need to plunk down $80 for a new crank chainring.
ooh, I forgot I contacted Easton about buying a replacement crank arm, and they said to fill out a warranty form. These are so out of warranty it's not funny, but we'll see what happens there.

Yesterday's throat tickle has blossomed into a snotty cold. That's definitely not what I asked for fir Christmas.
At least it's not covid, right?
that house looks deceptively small....
and the lot needs more elevation....
nice views...
Yet?

Morning Monkeys.
Much rain this morning so there will be no walkies. Will still get to the office by 6:30 and with any luck will be back home before noon. But will need to hit the store and possibly Costco, but meds might not be ready, so that might wait until tomorrow.
Decided yesterday that no work will get done between now and the 2nd of January, so today should be pretty light. Only reason I'm going into the office is I need to hit WinCo today for sure.

still gusty winds up to 45 mph here. plus temps dropped so feels like a single freedom. wifey's heading out for rope drop. i am in bed with coffee for a bit.
Pissed rain all day yesterday, then the temperature suddenly dropped last night and dropped some snow. Friggin car doors were iced closed this morning, I had to go in through the passenger door. 
Go away snow.
Though, I did order some ice studs for the new fat bike, in anticipation of an icy winter.

got on the scale this morning and I have lost 18 pounds since they put me on Levothyroxine, not bad for 25 days
time for espresso

you factoring in sea-level rise, storm surges and the availability of flood insurance in this decision?
as for me, had a brutal fucking morning with the kids today. nothing but yelling, kicking and recriminations... fucking just shoot me now.
Nothing could convince me to live in Florida. There are better places for water and affordability.
(for the record, Colorado has neither water nor affordability, but yea it's nice)

No seriously, this rain is ridiculous. My commute was a hot mess because you can't see shit and there is standing water everywhere. And it's dark. Like black, damn.
y u no garage
today I will pick up a rental VW Atlas for use to squirt about town here to bike (tomorrow and next week?) and approximate skiing on the crap snow that exists
SMRT move calling off. Still in bed, supposed to be a nice day. Feels like a spin on the single speed is in order. Might make some gnocchi this evening. Kid got surprise promotion in Fight Club class last night. I should go make an espresso.
Looking at historical aerial imagery, this house was built sometime between 1970 and 1978 - actually the images before 1970 jump to 1954 and its very hard to tell if its the same house. Might be...
None of the old homes around here have garages. I suspect because many this old were actually cottages back in the day, before the Toronto urban sprawl was a thing.
Too much info?
oooo i haven't had gnocchi in ages
Italian sausage/Gorgonzola cream sauce. Soooo good.
If it was originally a cottage, I doubt they cared if they had a garage for their second summer home, when they most likely didn't live here in the winter.
Cool! Good thing I need to run up to Portland this morning. I wish the lumberyard was still there…would give me much more motivation for the 2 hour slog…
Not a lot of Honda anything at that time.
That's amazing they had roofs that were so snow repellent back then
