Good morning to all of you fine gentlemen! I was the bike trainer early again for another hour of grindin'. Now I've got the wobble legs.
Boozeless streak hits 10 years today.

present. another 2" of snow.
Yesterday I dropped a coffee mug a friend made for me as a housewarming gift a few years ago. It's broken. I'm a little sad, but she did make me two back then so I have the other one still.
i have a meeting at 10, trying to decide if i should go shovel, or just sit here drinking coffee and staring out the window at the snow.
also entertaining the idea of digging out the fire pit and having a bonfire. because why not?

Slacking this morning. Have to be on the road in an hour and I haven't started to get it together at all. serious FTS happening. Radar shows rain just to the west of me to boot
This is the way.
Here. Extra bitter cold today.
Told the kids we are to put our doggo down this weekend. Diabetus and Kushings have caught up to the girl and she is fading. Better now, than when she is super sick. Convo went better than expected...

Up to 4 here, but Friday is tomorrow....
Im already in the parking lot.
snow, nature's beer cooler
Supposedly the last decent day before weather really takes a shit. I should ride down town and get coffee.
Fire, nature's... uh... fire.

The severe lack of winter here means the battery in the plow truck was dead yesterday when I tried to spin it around the block. Gave it a jump start and drove it around for 30 minutes yesterday, but not enough to recharge, so it's probably dead again already. I should go plug in a charger while the weather is dry...

If you have run the battery flat it's junk. Purchase another and charge it regularly.
my youngest turned 8 today. he was in the hospital a year ago with a feeding tube running through his nose. this year is much better! sunny and cold outside. he wants food from my favourite pub for dinner (they're doing take-out now), so I'm happy to oblige. my wife decorated the house with balloons and ribbon and stuff, and he was very happy when he woke up. It's the little things...

Agreed the battery may be kaput, but I'd rather try and charge it first to see if it will hold the charge rather than just trash it straight away. We've had no real snow since ~December, a normal winter it would get used frequently.
If it is kaput it's still got plenty of warranty for a new swap replacement.
Had to do my yearly business goals and objectives with my boss today. Half of them are copied and pasted from leadership flow-down. When we got to one in particular I went off on an angry rant and went on the record about how it was a bunch of hypocritical bullshit, shared stories of my first hand experiences where executives behaved in the exact opposite manner.
Probably not a good move for my career, but damn it felt good.
Edit: "my career" LOL

This. I just kept the M on trickle because it died if not driving regularly.
We have two seldom used vehicles. I try to charge them weekly. I think that contemporary vehicles with lots of electronics tend to have a high standing drain.
This is a 20+ year old GMC K2500 with a plow blade on the front, nothing new about it 
Here. Lunch with Director of position I'd be interviewing for went really well. Told me that of the people he's met with already (all internal referrals) I'm in the top-5 if not top-3 and will be unquestionably getting a formal interview. Did make an interesting comment at the end that when I apply that I make sure to tell my manager early on. Given how I fit into my company silo (govt vs. corp or non-profit), I'm an upper 7-9% revenue generator, and he expects my manager through VP will be making a hard stand to keep me. So even if out of the final group I don't get it, I'm able to lever it to my advantage. I was a bit surprised by that, but it does say a lot about how he treats his employees to get as much as possible for them.
Also have a board meeting tomorrow with a client I share with one of his team members. So I'll be doing an informal hiring presentation. Should make for an interesting next week or two...

Yesterday's weed-stonk rally has come to an end, stop limit orders executed. Made plenty, but not enough to buy a boat. Lame.
Chorizzo burrito for breakfast, nap time for lunch.

Morning Monkeys.
I was told 3-5" of snow today and so far I ain't seen shit! See how today shakes out, but the snowmagedon is a bust so far.

Soon!
We right on the edge between getting rain or snow. Don't have anywhere to go so I don't care.
Not really the way I wanted to get an extra long lunch today... Text: "Your 10:00 pickup is cancelled. They passed away this morning". Even if they were a royal PITA
Same. I barely drive the Subaru. Hannah goes to school in the am and gets picked up in the afternoon. If it's <20*, we might take Haley and the neighbor girls to school if their parent's don't. Skiing? We usually all go. Errands? We usually all go. If we were a little closer to the city, I doubt we'd need two cars.
Right behind you at 6 hours...
Fresh snow on the ground... sent the Subaru sideways a couple of times in the parking lot this morning for shits and giggles. Just got word that the boss really liked one of our recent R&D batches, so possible new brand on the horizon.
the triplebock?
Nope. That's on the way too, 12.2% abv in the tank when I checked this morning, and still fermenting. I can't say more about the other, but I guarantee it will be released at a seasonally appropriate time... just for you.
i'm not holding my breath. you haven't told marketing about it yet have you
I think we'll surprise them
