Morning.

Apparently it is national margarita day.  Is it too early?

Hopefully you went for it.  And it's not like you'll get fired...

Heading home from Buffalo 🦬

Have a great day, all!

Home for how much longer??  Hopefully the trip went well!



Home from the hometown the other night.  A few extra days later than planned due to a slip, fall, vertebra break for my demented dad.  The guy is part cat.  He lives another day.

Work has suffered while I was out there soooooo.....here I am.  Trying to focus on that.     TGIF

I hear you.  Jan and I had a motorcycle/RV trip to France planned this May..... now cancelled due to Jan's 90 year old Mum having a tooth extraction... (long story) which led to a hip replacement op being delayed... which impacts our trip.  Non-trip.  I have no resentment, it's just how these things can go when you have oldies to care for and about.

Yep.  Hit Mister Oso for a couple margs and amazing braised pork tacos.

Then I hit a local liquor store for some mixer and continued the party at home, culminating with the Red Wings beating the Avalanche for the first time since 2017 in OT. 

Was definitely feeling it this morning.

Ugh.  So sorry about the MIL and her current challenges (and also about the non-trip).  She's lucky to have you both. This parenting the parents is really rough sometimes.

I talked with my dad's Dr. the other day about the meds he really needs. Further convo needs to happen with the siblings but I think we'll all be in agreement on seriously considering stopping some.  As long as he's as comfortable as we can make him....


In other news, I was behind in home projects with this last trip.  Painted a few bedroom walls and trim late into the night and this morning in prep for a new bed finally being delivered, supposedly, this afternoon (ordered early Nov.).

Time to clean the chaos and get outside.


Welcome back Mary!  Betting Francis was happy to see you!

Good morning ...

Spent good part of the day yesterday sanding and painting front security iron bar door ... Some pieces were far to gone to be repaired so, just a pass with the 40 grit disc and a thick layer of paint until I am able to get the $ to repair properly ...

Hope everyone is doing good

Good afternoon.

Had a chat with a couple former colleagues earlier.  They're are both actively seeking employment elsewhere.  Reinforced my decision.

But now I'm looking for something and what a pain in the ass.  And when you're trying to change professions, it makes it difficult.  But I did apply for a remote position with Royal-Enfield today.  It requires one week/month in Milwaukee.  No issues there.  I spent some time there last fall and it seems to be a wonderful city.
