Mornin’.
Mornin! 
Denmark is back to home schooling so I am enjoying work and teaching at the same time which can be a juuuust a little frustrating at times.
bah humbug!
Wife and kid are online this week, back to in-person next week. I also give it no more than a week, at least for the kid.
light day today, yay. Sipping espresso and contemplating the fact that the tile floors are really cold and I ought to put some shoes on seeing as my feet are freezing but Im not motivated enough to go get them......
well aside from that, wife and i assumed the in person wouldn't last long and they'd be right back at home (we were right - but i thought it was gonna last more than a week) and he wouldn't do well with the schedule disruptions (he's ADHD and on the spectrum).But why? Kids don't get Covid and they for sure do not spread it around.
We saw the writing on the wall here last summer and enrolled in online learning. School has only been open two days a week since Sept, with periods where it was totally closed.
Online is sorta-kinda working, but creates a lot of stress having to sit on the kiddo to get his work done.
Powder day at the Village today, he has to get all of his work done before going.

Another cold overcast day today with some rain overnight. Might get to ride sometime this year. Coffee is good though.
Hello all. Today I work, plus present to the department executive committee about my group's proposal for home reading workstations, and run the radiology side of pancreatic multidisciplinary conference at noon. So I'll be busy until 1 PM then resume the usual fuckery.
Here.
Glad "hoildays" are over, back to work to relax a little....
Got a bunch of stuff done around the house yesterday to prepare for work again. 10 days off in the last 14 days, hope I didn't forget how to work..

thankfully my son is only in kindergarten and our district still does half day kindergarten. i think they're actually doing a good job with the curriculum, considering the circumstances.
dude honestly. I've been at home with the two kids and wife for like two weeks now and I can't believe I'm ready for work to get some level of stability/normalcy/feel like an adult again.
i dunno, personally i was enjoying day drinking without the guilt
that's fair. I probably should have but my wife is verging on tea-totaling so I need to tone it down a bit. Let's see what dry january does to my waistline...
I might have my roof racks sorted by the summertime...
Or somebody might make a hitch by the time I get them up....
buy a cheap pickup truck. i sometimes miss having mine. only sometimes though.
Ugh......Furnace is on the fritz again. Every fucking year..........
In a different world/marriage, I'd have my beater SUV and a weird sports car instead of just the slightly less weird sports car. Oh well, better to make the best of it then sit and complain!
i shouldn't have looked. this is up the street from me.

I think I could probably get a hitch fabricated for less than that....
I'm not sure if it's a crappy internet connection, or a crappy wifi router, but my wireless connections have never been particularly reliable. And I live in a small townhouse, downtown. There's only two of us at home at the moment, my son and I. My wife is at her moms with our other boy this week. So the fact that our connections both dropped at the same time while on concurrent video conferences does not bode well for when my wife and kid #2 come home, and if we're all trying to be on-line at the same time...
Though I just realized my laptop is about 10" away from the modem. I've plugged it in with an ethernet cable, so we'll see if that makes it more reliable (and maybe a bit quicker?). Stupid technology.
On a more positive note, my $30 wireless earbuds arrived yesterday, and they work well and sound great. My heated socks also arrived (from Germany) yesterday. Despite sitting on them for nearly three weeks, there was no customs charge and no tax - score! I'm looking forward to trying them out. My wheel should be built up and ready tomorrow. There's fresh snow on the ground. Maybe by the weekend I'll be able to go for a ride!

depends on what nonsense is in the way.

while my wife is generally on board with the idea of getting a beater truck, we currently lack the funds. post settlement? more than likely.
Extended cab? I thought you were talking about a truck rather than a station wagon, carry on...i shouldn't have looked. this is up the street from me.

did you actually click the link? at least its not one of the full size 4 door cabs. it was cheap, good condition, and close. not like i'm actually in the market for anything right now.
Ugh, let the shitshow at wrrk commence. The largest energy vampire in the room complains about the lack of energy in the room, go figure. He is a founder so hard to argue with him about anything.

So, maybe there are some rentals available in Tuscany this year?

The sharp drop in visitors since the start of the pandemic pressed this small community in the hills of Chianti to cling to the essentials: the pharmacy, the food store and agriculture.
yes that is because you are wrong. Now get to licking boots!
