Guten morgen!

Another busy work day on tap. Looking forward to the holiday tomorrow.

Present. Up early ish. Saw a deer in my compost pile enjoying a buffet of leftover veggies from the garden.
In case you weren't aware, cause some people aren't, meat scraps should not go in compost. Meat decay releases neurotoxins that can be deadly to wildlife. My SIL lost her dog to it. (For you VTs who sat through the state's composting presentation, her dog Mabel got a slide in there)

Hiya fellers!! I went for an easy jog this morning. I've got to get a half marathon done by EOD tomorrow for a multi-race thing I am doing, and I will try to tackle that tonight so my Wednesday off from work will be free for some MTB, weather permitting.

I am trying to get a handle on all of my retirement plan stuff. I've got money in two 403b plans, two pension plans, a 401k, a 457b, and I think I have a stock purchase thing kicking around somewhere. My wife is going to be sitting pretty if/when I kick the bucket, especially when you tack on my life insurance.

something satisfying about a massive colon emptying first thing in the morning...

29 freedums here, easy schedule on tap WIN

One of my guys is 72, lives paycheck to paycheck but works his ass off to keep a roof over his head. I noticed that he was wearing a couple sweatshirts to keep warm, didn't have a warm jacket. I gave him an early Christmas present this morning , a Columbia Down Parka with an attached hood.

Good on you, Eric.

I rolled into work late today because I can (as I'm on an outpatient-only service and wasn't the designated early/7 AM person).

That gave my wife freedom to Peloton in the morning, and me freedom to cook a delicious breakfast for me and the kids. Wagyu hybrid hot dogs, de-skinned as the kids demand; and eggs, scrambled with cheddar and chopped up black garlic, a little cream at the end a la Gordon Ramsey.

I split them lengthwise and flay them open. Then I scrape out the lovely beef-innards with the side of a fork. It's pretty easy and those soft inner pieces are most delicious.

Last year was one of the few times I actually get Vets day off and it was because I was working at a bank. I was also a temp, so I didn't get paid for it, either. It's just always seemed like a weird "holiday". Kinda like a failed Hallmark holiday or something.

I purchased some snake river wagyu hotdogs over memorial day weekend when the little store next to made ran out of everything else. Meh, some regular old Nathans at half the price are better. It would seem that a cows butthole tastes better when not regularly massaged and tickled.

The rest of the world knows it as Armistice Day which ties the date to real events and meaning. I guess it would mean more to Americans if it provided a 3 day weekend and an opportunity to get drunk and bbq.

Actually the best part of them was the satisfying crunch that the skin provided. Mush usually isn't a preferred culinary texture. Do you also remove the crust from a nice baguette?

My friend gave me some Omaha Hotdogs. The expiration date was 3 months out by the time I ate them. They were delicious. No problems were reported. I find most brands of skinless hotdogs kind of Salty. For some reason I am adverse to them as they are called Franks around here... Fallic shaped thing named Frank for consumption...
