Good morning. Debating on what day to leave for the Cape. Anxiety is kicking in on being up there alone for a few days with crappy weather in the forecast. Also ruminating over all of the things I should be doing here that I don’t want to do. It’ll all work out, I suppose. I’ll have to take MermAndy with me to give me a hug when I need one…

Happy Birfday Chief @Cold Iron - Grill yourself something great

 

Bring MermAndy, you’ll be good

 

I’ll have to see if MermAndy wants to go back to Provincetown again. I think he was scared after seeing the guy with the chain attached to nipple piercings being led around. But lunch at the Lobster Pot was good.

 

Ouch, now that’s stuck in my head

 

If you go in a store, just stay in the front third. Whatever you do, don’t go through the hanging beads!

 

I can’t even watch the nurse give me a shot , a body piercing

 

I'm with you. I have always had this hatred of needles. Unless they involve ink. People, rightly so, find it a bizzare situation that I love tattoos, but can't tolerate getting blood drawn, or injections. Yes, tattoos are infinitely more painful, and the process lasts hours, not seconds. It isn't physical pain for me, it's the mental. My mind "sees" the needle passing through my skin, and into the vein. That just creeps me the hell out. Over the years, I can't tell you how many times, while having blood drawn, the person on the other end of the needle can't find the vein, they go o"fishing" for it, by jabbing all around, hoping they will hit it. I do not have the vocabulary to even begin to describe what that feels like, both the physical as well as mental experience. And I have had them hit a vein, and poke through.... That's also an unforgettable experience.

Happy Tuesday, all

 

Morning all

Happy birthday @Cold Iron !

Dusty. He is very clingy

Dad?

 

Cold weather clothes are a requirement, even if only for night time.

The Alpine Loop is officially opened for the season.



I'd love to get back to Engineer Pass before it all melts away.

 

I used to shovel sidewalks as a kid, I wonder how much that pays?

 

I would have been a little scared myself!

 

12, 800 ft summit.. you could probably negotiate a good salary!

 

Does MermAndy ever get scared? I mean here's a guy with a crown, bikini top and a fish tail!!

 

Head out to some of y'all's world tomorrow. Be near Hartsel CO on saturday, eastern Iowa hopefully Sunday night and then to Charlotte and on to Kitty Hawk. Back home around the 1st. Nice long motorcycle trip on the back roads of America. I'll check in as I can.
Everyone have a great month and stay off the news!!

 

If I was younger, I used to make snow at a ski resort. We had fun with the groomer / snowplow and snowmobiles

 

You’re fine as long as it’s before 10pm and you stay out of the alleyways

Hasn’t said anything yet. He’s going to be my wingman.

 

Came back from Tahoe and co-workers started spraying my office with Lysol on Friday because of my coughing. I went home after a few hours. Slept 3 hours that day, in bed by 9-ish. Didn't wake until after 8 Saturday. Did the same again on Sunday.
Monday morning alarm went off at 5:30 and I simply couldn't get out of bed. FitBit says I slept 17:45 yesterday, but I was back in bed at 9 last night. Managed to make it into work today, although I have little motivation to accomplish anything but plan my Mexico cruise for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Coughing is residual at this point, maybe one per hour.
