SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED
WANTED: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons.
I have only done this once before.

Nice fish, Ken. You know what Nietzsche said about animals? “They were God’s second blunder.

Is this what it’s like to trend?
Looking for motivation to focus when there is too much to do. The countertop for the new island will be ready this week. Still a few things to do before we are ready for it.
Two new courses purchased this weekend for Web and iOS Development. A new commitment to myself to expand my skills over the winter.
Even though we shutdown the trailer weeks ago, it is hard to get over our Friday night ritual of jumping in the truck and heading out as soon as we get home from work.
My ability to retain information the moment I have switched tabs, or programs, or rooms seems to be slipping.
I recently pulled the pin on an update to the Apple Watch Ultra. Moving from my Series 3, anything would have been better but the extra battery life, larger size and more durable case were the biggest draws for me.
In my younger days I used to work as a line cook in a busy restaurant. No real chance for a break so we would graze on our shift on “mistakes”. Oops… extra chicken fingers were prepared or I thought you ordered 2 cheeseburgers.
First snow fall of the season. No real accumulation but I had to clear ice from the truck windows this morning.
I find myself stuck in a loop. Every year as winter approaches I say to myself: I want to learn to code, I start some training, realize I don’t have the time, repeat.
I find it really hard to pick up a new novel once I am finishing reading it. I become a little too invested in the story and characters.
Winter tire change over always seems to gets put off just long enough to run out of days with reasonable temperatures. The last few weekends were in the mid to high teens, now we are hovering just above freezing. There is no heated shop, there is no shop, just the driveway.
I have always been interested in my family genealogy. Years ago I found someone who was offering whiskey barrel staves customized with your family crest and family tree. Looking for my own staves so I can try and make my own.
Really enjoying Andor, the latest instalment of the Star Wars franchise.
Wintersleep - Drunk on Aluminum
Wild eyes, I feel the teeth again
Gnawing and imminent
In the lost, lonely night
Oh my, give me the words again
Paint it aluminum

Wanting to goto bed but have to leave for the airport. My daughter’s friend, last years college roommate, flies in late and needs a ride to residence.
Picked up a new airless paint sprayer this week. I need to adjust to the new way, it took longer to set up and clean up than it did to paint. the finished product is so much better than a brush and roller.
Night number two of Leafs games and I have the suspicion I am in for another long season.
The Leafs game on one display and a little work from home after-hours maintenance on the other.
In my early teens I met the Canadian Prime Minister with the second shortest-tenure. My summer vacation was almost longer than he lasted in office.
Nothing is certain when you remodel, a two week timeline can turn into two months in the blink of an eye.
We are updating our kitchen and trying to choose a new paint color for the cabinets. The only consensus we have is that, as a family, we do not have a consensus.
