another winter storm coming but it looks even uglier. 1-2" of rain, maybe some snow, then a deep freeze. Should be shitty.

Car went to the dealer yesterday, they said they couldn't replicate the noise. Heard it several times on my way in this morning. Blech.

Will attempt a ride tonight, but its not looking good. Its currently 35 freedom units out and has been since yesterday. Needless to say, its a slopfest out there right now. Its kind of spitting rain right now, but supposed to transition into snow by this afternoon, so maybe there is a chance?

Pretty sure that I squished a juicy spider on my neck in my car this morning. Can't find it though...

Need to get some coffee pumping and do some work.

I’m disappointed with the pattern of snow here. CoSpr and foothills got goodly amounts but it missed Eldora (3”). 4” at Copper and bupkis at Winter Park. Pondering what to do today.

They caught it early enough that they think removal + radiation should be enough. Fingers crossed that does it.
sorry man. hoping for a good outcome

my parents are starting to hit the age where i'm much more conscious that they won't be around forever, so I've been making a point to visit with them as often as is reasonably possible so my kids can spend as much time with them as possible. i still make a point to call my mom at least once a week (on average its usually more).

Haven't been able to see my 'rents since festivus 2018.

11 hours on a germ tube isn't something I'm looking forward to, but I know I need to do it soon.

edit: zero freedums still here this morning.

For todays awkward workplace moment the lead for the team in India I work with called me his guiding light.

Not sure if that was a cultural miscommunication, blatant brown nosing, or if I have finally ascended as a deity.

Storm Wang deposited a solid 6 inch load in the yard. Called in last night. Was feeling pretty awful late afternoon yesterday and kid has a luncheon for winning some kind of essay contest today, so FTS hit a solid 11/10. Waffles and bacon now.
