Good luck!
On the throne at work.
Interesting. The house and the new shed are fed from the same Green Mountain Power transformer. The Tesla backup gateway in the shed just reported a ten minute grid failure, with Powerwalls providing power to the shed; there was no concurrent interruption of grid power to the house.

Dog was fidgeting most of the night and so I slept like hell. I am guessing her back issues flared up. Wife gave her some dog meds which seemed to help a little. On the work front, I've got several high priority items which need to be completed today, so the best approach to that is to post on ridemonkey .
as predicted I slept like a brick following a hard session of weight training and a hot shower. Coffee, grub, then off to road warrior land.
Morning!
Cold and rainy here. So I shall plan out some delicious meals, do some chores, and solder some wires.
Made pizza last night, including the pizza sauce which was fabulous and incredibly easy. The pizza part could use a little work, but I also don't have a large oven, pizza oven, or pizza stone, so I'll say it was a success.

Best of luck, fucker!
Nice! I started the pizza experiment a week or two, too. What worked for me was peeled tomatoes with basil, garlic and olive oil made friends by a hand blender.Morning!

The weather indeed sucks. My mood is as gloomy, too.
Sounds tasty. I made the lazy man's pizza sauce. 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce, 1 6 oz can of tomato paste, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, and pepper. It tastes a bit strong off the pizza but mellows out while cooking.
how long do you let your dough sit?
~ 2 hours. I used this recipe: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/the-easiest-pizza-youll-ever-make-recipe
In hindsight, I'd throw some corn meal down before rolling it out, and roll it out thinner than I did/could (small oven limitations). I think a pizza stone would crisp it up nicely on the bottom.
i've always found "quick" recipes don't give the dough the right consistency.
I buy fresh dough in our grocery store.
If you have a local potter's supply or really good art supply store a kiln shelf is the same thing as a pizza stone, but cheaper and bigger (more thermal mass = more superior crust). That's my one and only baking tip, I gave up on baking anything that wasn't pizza after I realized what a giant PITA it is.
Buying dough-balls FTW!
Here. Busy day then driving back from Aspen this afternoon.
Apparently my cholesterol is too high now because of my diet, so there are going to be even more changes to my diet. More 'liquid at room temperature' fats, less non-swimming meat fats (ie saturated). Avocado, olive, and MCT oils are going to 2x or 3x; meats likely to half; fish (ugh...) likely to be substantially added (ugh). Lots of fiber heavy vegetables swimming in avocado and olive oils to come... Sounds like I will likely be losing even more weight, again.
Sitting down and really getting to meet my new manager tomorrow morning then skiing Saturday. Sunday/Monday the sunroof in the M gets fixed, then I'm just waiting for the Dinan badge and it's getting listed. My FTS with the Infiniti repair is done; USAA can lick my hairy nuts. We're going to eat the deductible, get it fixed, and get it sold. Fingers crossed we walk away with about $32-35 between the two, which will leave us with only a few months left on the Pilot until we only have out house payment left. Looking forward to that position for sure!

Just got back from the sports doctor about my shoulder. Torn labrum and infraspinatus inflammation (as seen on MRI). options are SIUP, or surgery. it only bothers me when I try and lift weights involving shrugs and jerks (kettle bell swings, shrugs, jerks, deadlifts, overhead presses). But (as I understand it) these are the movements I need to do for injury prevention from biking, and to slow the effects of aging. (i.e. I need to do those lifts if I'm going to continue mountain biking as I age.)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, getting old sucks.

So surgery it is? Because those are mtb motions...
I guess so. Now I have to go consult the surgeon. Luckily, it's the same surgeon I went to see about my elbow last fall, so I'm already a patient of his and won't need to wait months to see him
Taking the leaf in for battery check up (warranty coverage demands health check at 6 and 12 months) and tire rotation. Stopping at the hangar to wax and tune the skis. Household chores on tap after that. Weeeeeee.........
"They" always say, "its better than the alternative", but the older I get, the less I'm convinced.
Y'all are out there saving the planet with your electric cars. I'm looking into putting a turbo on my MX-5, so I'm doing my part.
Is that the 2.5? My current engine has low miles, so I want to blow this up first.
It doesn't really suck. It just takes way more commitment and determination to keep doing things. Growing old is not for Sissy's
