    Traffic is fucking ridiculous today.

    Left at around 1:30, and still not at the hotel yet. Said it's normally a 5 hour drive... Not today.

    Stopped to feed the kids.

    ARGH

    It's that time of the year that I don't take the highway home (95 North) on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, people are usually heading to Mass or Rhode Island.

    Funny thing. WFH today, I hear a tapping at the front door. Odd someone is knocking on my front door, odd I can be bothered to answer it - LOL. Was the next door neighbor, something about my tree with a bunch of pointing. Turns out a huge limb snapped off my tree in that storm & has been in his yard for (2?) days now. Oops, I normally walk the yard daily, but haven't since the storm I guess.

    I could've told him it's his problem, but I feel bad knowing I'm going to turn in his rooster at some point this summer. Once my windows are open it'll be too much, all that crowing day & night.

    After I got off work - I tackled that tree with my little electric chain saw & two extension cords. Took 3.5 hours but it's all chopped, stacked & gone from his yard. No trace it was ever there. I'm impressed with myself - making all that all gone that fast. Pretty damn impressive for a used up old man.

    but that limb is the excuse I needed - my last 4 trees are gonna be goned this year. Nothing taller than shrubs here after.
    just can't believe I didn't notice for days. Whoops.

    Good morning CT. Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Had some stuff fixed in my apartment yesterday (electrical/plumbing).

    I don't think I'll be doing anything to the truck this weekend. I may give it a bath.

    Morning all.
    My 25 yo upright deep freeze crapped out last night.
    my sister had a spare smaller upright that I moved here and managed to save all the important stuff ( a lot of Venison).

    I'll be looking for a new one next week. :spending:

    Stripes going on the Nova tomorrow morning.

    Enjoy the day, gonna be a good one.

    That's how it usually is coming back from training (Parsippany, NJ). Once I hit the CT border, traffic is at a stand still.

    Pulled the sheets off my bed and started doing laundry. Just realized that they replaced the ceiling lamp in my bedroom. Didn't even notice it when I got home yesterday. o_O
