I woke up with Prince's "Raspberry Beret" in my head, and then when I got in the car, CPR was playing James Brown's "It's too funky in here". I don't know what it means, but it seems like an excellent sign.

this shit keeps up I'm going to build me an Ark. 7 day forcast is for 7 days of rain. A whole bunch of my friends near the Cosumnes river have been evacuated likewise and bunch in Santa Cruz County. Me? I'm above the 1000 year floodplain on high ground but still . Not looking forward to driving folks to Dialysis in this shit. but off into the dark I go. Be back in a few hours
Dude...

It's past noon here and I'm barely awake.
I get out of bed no later than 0320 on days I work. Possibly the only person getting up any earlier is @eric strt6.
Sunnier, low 20s, actually getting some solar production. Dentist this morning, board meeting this evening.
Some call it Monday, I call it vascillating between a crippling bout of imposter syndrome and an existential crisis day.
Ran the Disney Marathon in 3:32 yesterday. Pretty good run to finish off the four day challenge. I was tired pretty much the entire race but managed to hold it somewhat together without totally falling apart. I finished in 175th place out of 16,000 runners. Slept 11.5 hours last night.
0315 is my normal wake up time, workday starts at 0400
Didn't run no marathon, not really battling imposter syndrome, and I had no pie.
Woke up at 507 to do a workout, noped the front out and went back to bed to score an 88 on the old fitbit and feel amazingly refreshed today. Wife is trying to register the kids for summer camp and it's going remarkably well- that is to say she can't connect to the servers and may jump off a bridge.

Happy and not awake about it.
Got pretty far on the drywall mudding project, managed to get a second layer on all the joints and corners plus texture on the ceiling and 2-1/2 walls. Decided I'm close enough to being done that I'll just take an hour this morning and finish it up. Then primer! Then paint! Then finish the electrical! Then trim and flooring! And then I can move in!

kids are back at school 
the peace and quiet are so loud my ears are ringing!
spotted my first electric delivery vehicle in the wild today:
the guys working in it said today was its maiden voyage... said it was strange and took some time to get used to... not sure what that means. but it was pretty dang quiet which was cool. I'm no expert, but the batteries seem awfully exposed to the elements there:

Morning Monkeys.
So I got an update on the skateboards in Nebraska. So after talking to the elders, they took a bunch of them to the two reservation high schools and met with the guidance counselors there. They now have incentive programs for kids to up their grades and to help in the community (shovel walkways, fetch groceries). They said there has been an immediate return with kids turning in homework and helping out the old folks. It's so awesome, it's been a huge win/win.
They got hammered with snow, so it sounds like there was a lot to shovel.

I know it'd take a lot of work and they aren't something you can exactly just lift and move, but I'd be more worried about theft. When will battery thefts become a thing? I can only imagine how many $$$ those are worth.
that is awesome.,
Should be a somewhat busy day.
Doing my first consulting call this afternoon. Hopefully that pans out to more of that stuff.
Spent all day yesterday in an avalanche rescue class. Saved about half a dozen 'bodies'. Cant stand up too good today. Office work indeed.
they might have nice stuff to pillage. how long do you have to wait until it's no longer "stealing" but "treasure hunting"?
just read the headline and then the first three words

LOL, insurance update!
The local hospital called, and said after an investigation brought about by that two paragraph appeal, UHC owed me a few thousand in refunds.
Too funny.
