Put a new AC clutch on a mate's 100 series with his assistance then put a new amp in, went to a Van Gogh thing then went for a ride.
Was an okay day.

[CBJ]

Still a little tired in the body after 3 days of gardening. Digging, moving soil and moving stones around. Flying to Munich tomorrow and there until Friday. Weather looks great and hopefully having some schweinshaxe tomorrow for dinner.

MIL tested covid positive several days after visiting us, so now we wait and see if it's finally come for us. My wife, baby, and myself have managed to avoid it so far.

Given that, in general, folks have stopped using masks and resumed socializing, I note that it's striking with some regularity among people I know. The new flu with more teeth.

No ride on sunday. Low energy, blamed it on the weather and apple picking. Woke up this morning with a scratchy throat and stuffy nose. Will try to get my work done and head home. Boo. Was ready to get back on the horse and start training again.

First frost...

We got it too, first big one. Had to scrape this crap off the car windows this morning.

Good reminder to get another covid booster. And flu shot.

Hi!

Slept like a rock. now making eggs and toast and getting my world events update from the .

 

[I Are Baboon]

Yeah my blood doctor (I have one of those) told me get the new bivalent booster even though I just got booster #2 three months ago. So I scheduled it this Sunday along with my flu shot. I've got a marathon Saturday and figured Sunday would be a good time for that.

 

[eric strt6]

Frost? Hell I'm in shorts at 0330 and it will be between 80-90 all week

 

[jonKranked]

Yeah my blood doctor (I have one of those)

Dr Acula?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Dr Acula?

So I need to go to the CANCER CENTER every six months to get my anemia checked. I feel guilty going there because there are people with actual real health problems that need appointments, but my doc insists I keep going. The first time he saw me he said "You don't look like you need to be here." No shit, doc.

Heated floor is off. It accumulates the heat from the sun so it's not actually cold, nor warm either.

 

[eric strt6]

so cool. I had just dropped off my first group of Dialysis Clients at 0445 this morning. The Clinic is right next to a vineyard in the foothills. I was finishing my paperwork, no one else was around and I saw movement in my left mirror. A big Grey Fox trotted up maybe 10 feet away from my window, stopped looked up at me then trotted off. Made my morning.

that reminds me, saw a red fox catch and eat a mouse (or similar) from the back yard flower garden in the rain over the weekend.

Monday morning bullshit meeting finished. Kind of sad knowing I could be riding with @Full Trucker. Fucking work.

I've had actual Cancer and had to quit riding my bike to the Oncologist because I had such bad survival guilt over my "easy" cancer. I mean, ontologically speaking we're all dying, but there is nothing like a trip to the Cancer Center to make it clear that some of us are dying faster and harder than others.

 

[gonefirefightin]

Rained all night again, snow on the high peaks again.

 

[Poops McDougal]

Coffee. Time to sift through 14 piles of work shit, and figure out which ones are getting worked on today.

 

[jonKranked]

rain gauge said 3" this morning from all the rain this weekend, still coming down.

 

[gonefirefightin]

Is it normal for peeps to be on work calls and zooms in coffee shops now? I wouldnt have batted an eye except these two were wearing over-the-ear headsets and were essentially screaming into the call.

No. Shame these people, and do it loudly enough for the fellow zoom participants to hear.

Went to a fund raiser for Colo-rectal cancer on Saturday night. My friend has it. Young amazing woman, 38, Stage 4. While being treated over the past year, her husband tell the oncologist he thinks he has similar symptoms he's overlooked while taking care of his wife. They test him and he also has Stage 4. Both have a 3-5 year prognosis for survival, and they have a 5 year old son.
