Crushing me. Currently 77.7°/68.3°

Better than sitting in a Zoom meeting discussing personnel matters

Is it possible that things would have been much worse without masking?

I was just about to go over to the golf course when the sky opened up. Close to an inch in the last 45 minutes

For me, it was getting tired or rooting against teams. When your team is always bad so all you have left to root for is other team's failures, it's time to find other things to occupy your time. I still hate the Pats though.

Polamalu's HOF bust is epic

Gotta do something with all the empty malls. https://www.hbo.com/the-righteous-gemstones

Decent storm rolled through these parts. .62” in the last 30-45 minutes. Decent thunder and lightning too.

After a shaky start, looks like the men’s basketball team is winning gold. Though France is making it close.

Good advice. Even the 2 mile bike path I have across the street is good for that, though my old dog only walks with me when my wife isn’t here and he doesn’t go very far.

Yeah, I like a crisp, cold beer. I’ve never been a fan of ipas. I remember when the craft beer stuff started. Magic Hat #9 was like the first big hit up here. I just couldn’t get into it. I stuck with Mich Light and then Ultra. When I went to Germany a couple of summers ago, each restaurant/pub had their own Pilsner, I liked several of those. Basically, I have an unsophisticated palate.

And those red, pickled Polish sausage.

Is Ginx your official trip photographer?

When I was a kid, I would go with my dad when he would service HVAC systems. A couple of his customers were bars. That’s what the old men who were there to drink their lunch would have. They called them red eyes.

Absolutely brutal here today.

Maybe Lava Rock’s diver can help it.

As much as I love winter, these are the evenings to live for. Currently 66°/61°. Near perfection.

I've been thinking about replacing the baseboard radiator in my bathroom with one. I've heard they produce less heat than a traditional finned baseboard.

I was in a training a few years ago that reviewed a hospice scam in Mississippi. It involved a couple of dirty docs who got kick backs from the hospice service and kept re-upping the hospice care. I think the total recoupment they were ordered to repay was north of $3 million. Some of those patients were on "hospice" for nearly 3 years.

Lol. We've had plenty of rain. That's just the general response that gets tossed out whenever earcly changing leaves get posted.

Drought stress

That's what I have ended up doing. Our cable/internet with Spectrum is $165. We do have a Netflix account and Amazon video with our Prime subscription. By the time you get all the streaming services, it costs almost the same and you have the added headache of having to look through a million apps. I say this as someone who has had a 25 year hatred of my cable company. I had to use them for internet service because the only other option was crappy DSL and in the world of bundled services having cable along with internet made the most sense. I have to admit though, as much as I hate them, their internet has been stellar. With my wife and I both working from home and my son remote schooling through much of the last year +, there have been no issues other than 1 or 2 outages from a pole being damaged or something similar.

We sent out a search party and couldn't find it

That’s my preferred type as well

VT crushes the rest of the country in maple production.
