People complaining about rising gas prices and I've over here like I just filled up my tank for the first time in six weeks and I am cool with that.
c-car? mine was buried in snow for the entire month of february. i kept it in the driveway because it was that much less snow to shovel.
I just don't go anywhere. I am quite comfortable being sheltered down in my house. Pre-China flu, I'd fill my gas tank twice a week. I estimate I have saved $3000 the past year by not having to buy gas.
Did you grab dinner with Sam and Ella?
Lunch actually...
this is the age for introverts. seriously though when i do go somewhere we just take my wifes car. my cars battery is probably dead by now. i used to fill my car weekly. but that's offset by the increased electric charges from being home all the time now.

how the fuck does a package sent 2 day air get delayed by a train derailment?????
Here. Woke up this morning feeling quite unwell. I got out of my morning pattern yesterday and somehow missed my drugs. I wasn't feels great yesterday (little loopy) but didn't think anything of it. I was up at 5am and barely able to move forward properly. Took my drugs a bit early to try and get my base drug levels back to proper in my system; I'm getting there but still pretty loopy. Making for a rough morning so far...
Work this am, afternoon is pretty open. Going to try and get a few lengths of baseboard in before it starts snowing later this week.
Got passed up for second interview. Sounds like two people that are still in it are coming from the same, but a more junior position.

in other news, i have acquired a preamp. a buddy of mine randomly had 2, sent me one for the cost of shipping. now i have reason to setup my 7.1 system in the basement again.

unless they were going to land a helicopter In your yard and deliver it...
i deal with distribution logistics at work, there's no reason rail freight should interfere with a single parcel air shipment
On the upside, new-to-me hardshell ski jacket arrives a day early. I guess there were no trains to deal with between California and Colorado?

Intermodal hubs? Air->rail->truck for last mile? Or a rail derailment has led to backups at air facility?
anyways... Is it bad that I'm really liking Boston (the band) these days? After I drop the kids off at school, I walk home (about 20 minutes) and listen to some tunes. It was warm and sunny today, had my jacket open and I was really digging Boston... put me in a happy place!

G'Morning. A day of mainly administrative BS ahead of me. The only bright points on the horizon are getting to evaluate a new hop coming out of the breeding program and putting together a brew to best showcase it, and an after-work road ride on the the new bike. Not crazy about road rides, but everything else is still sloppy
not for a 2 day shipment
possible, but unlikely.
rail freight is typically only used anymore for items that are too large/heavy to ship via other methods. think industrial equipment.
that reminds me, i have all my old calvin and hobbes books stored away, i should get them out for my son now that he's 6.
Was just telling my wife that we need the Calvin & Hobbes collective for our hypothetical child. I have fantastic memories from my youth reading those and thinking back on all of the nuggets of wisdom hidden in a child's experiences.
My mom gave me The Complete Calvin and Hobbes for Christmas. My kids can't stop reading them. They keep pointing out strips where Calvin's dad is acting like me. I tell them that everything I know about being a dad I learned from those strips.
i acquired them all as a kid, including a few of the compilations. saving them was a good choice.
Was that a suburban train getting the pilots to work?
Sounds like they use United services extensively.
i'm sure my son will do that as well.
i bet @Pesqueeb secretly works for UPS and Norfolk SouthernWas that a suburban train getting the pilots to work?

yup. my kids loved them. also my tintin books (which are wildly un-pc now) and far side books too.
I'd love to be on the pay scale, for sure.
my wife bought biscotti and hid it from me. well, i discovered it and am now enjoying it with espresso.
almost forgot the funnest part of my morning was when i opened the door to take the kids to school and almost stepped on a fully decapitated bunny that our cat went full murderdeathkill on last night. please don't tell syadasti.
