Making espresso, fumbling around the kitchen while the demitasses are filling and can't find my coffee mug...damn thing was in plain sight. I guess I really do need the espresso this morning to clear the brain fog

looks like I have a break from 10-12 in my schedule...gonna walk around a lake in a public park before it gets baking out

Sitting in my car working, waiting for the girlfriend to get out of an appointment that she can't drive home from.

Fingers crossed that the Teams meeting I'm about to join doesn't suddenly drain the battery on this Microsoft Surface. I have my Dell laptop as well, but that thing lasts maybe 30 minutes on battery now.

We've had two nights of sudden frost. Veggies aren't looking so great. :( :(

Light rain increases my chances of riding on Saturday, esp. if Sunday is ugly.

Hello all. Working 7-4. Grey weather again makes Toshi a low-energy boy

Tweaked my knee slipping in the snow back in early November and it was finally getting back to 100% again, so naturally I tweaked it again yesterday :/

Not too much snow overnight, we'll see what today brings.

Two hours reconfiguring a phone via VTC for some new crap. I miss the days of leaving work in the office.

Rib pain from a nice wreck on Monday has abated nicely, though. I got arrogant about riding the DH track here without the right gear...but the guys I ride with don't shuttle so the full armor is pretty much out of the equation. (hence maybe let's start using the bypass lines on the jumps, mkay Mike?)

Sorry to hear John, I hope she feels better.

I am still dealing with the aftermath of the home insurance policy fuck-up, courtesy of my agent. I really feel like spilling the beans to CFPB. :butcher:

Holy crap, I am impressed with the post office.
I mailed some XT cranks yesterday.
estimated delivery was May 17th.
it arrived to Bluffdale, Utah, today at 11:00 AM.
amazing.
Apparently not a very busy circuit.

No side effects from jab #2 yet. Stopped in a packie on my way home, found two new-to-me interesting Czech lagers with weird names but high ratings. I have a plan for dealing with pain in the next few days.

I have no idea where I am
Went to grab a tankful near the house at lunchtime and things were bone dry.
evidently there is a gas problem in Charlotte....news to me....
Glad y’all posted this cuz the Toaster was almost empty and I left about 5 minutes after reading it. Had to hunt for gas as lines were starting to form and traffic was getting chaotic. Just barely beat the hoards.

Big thanx !! Woot woot !

Had an "Oh Shit" Momment at work. Pulled up to pick up a Dialysis Client from their home. They are not native english speakers "Tagalog". family member came out with that look. Alarm bells started going off in my head, I got waved inside. They never let me come in. Client is on the bed, hooked up on a nasal O2 cannula at 2l flow, color looks wrong, breathing isn't right. they were laying flat. bad signs. Pull them upright and adjust the o2 flow to max still not responsive to voice only reacts to touch, then I notice the labored work of breathing and the neck muscles coming into play with each breath. 911 time. I might have been there 2 minutes before I made the call

Fire was there in 3 minutes and the box showed up in 8. Load and go. fluid in the lungs.
