Ride a bike. No, seriously. My office has a primo address along a downtown street that usually has no problem finding 3 to 4 hour free parking which is all I need. Events downtown (parades, art festivals, concerts in park, etc)have street closures and sparse parking with the additional crowd. While I would be 'unpresentable' if I rode my bike from home, I park my car in a shopping center about a mile away and pedal in.

I keep waiting for it to get cold so I will have the excuse to stay in bed.

I'm not Mrs (or Mr) Brown, but I do have a lovely daughter.

But with that full length gown that he is always wearing, wouldn't he do better with a ladies bike. (quickly - runs, ducks, hides)

That would be for incontinent people...who may also be incompetent.

So you are looking at the 2020 models?

Legos With daughter's international flight leaving at 8PM, spent morning at local garden for a little exercise. Was surprised as had a Lego exhibit scattered throughout the gardens. Each exhibit was tens of thousands of Legos and took around 200 hours to assemble. Still amazed at the weight management/balancing of the humming bird display. The peacock required the most Legos.

My dad loaded the munitions in them...so it was damn good.

Resistance is futile.

It works the other way too. Even with a degree and 30 years experience it works against you. You typically have the senior position that the newbie's want NOW! Younger generations don't know the trait of deferred gratification ampliified with spending habits that demands higher pay (i.e.promotions) NOW! The use the office politics to push you out and you are stuck looking for a job at 55+ and computers easily figure your age based on work history, etc. Likewise with corporate re-organizations. You have the higher paying position so they get a greater savings if they eliminate. Of course, dumped at 55+, in addition to the difficulty finding a job you suddenly have to bear 100% of the costs of prior benefits, such as healthcare, that the employer was contributing a large percentage to. Likewise, retirement savings (401k contributions, etc) stops and may have to be accessed early which has an impact for the rest of their life. I saw that happen so many times both where I worked as well as where my wife worked.

Jan 8, 2018...First lawn mowing of the year. Usually mulch cut but bagged this time due to so many weeds sprouting seeds. Filled 8 bags.

My son thought is would be fun to take a pin and poke a hole in the bottom of the solo cups, placing them back into the dispenser.

Oh hush. I am trying to rationalize the purchase of a Canon PRO 1000 or Epson P800. I really NEED on of those 17" printers. Keep hoping my consumer level inkjet bites the dust, but thus far no luck.

I have this dormant LinkedIn account the never did anything with...just had the presence. Even today I still get the "add me" request from people I have never heard of.

They have back to back re-runs between 7-8PM each day. I look at them and would swear they are not repeats as I don't remember the original broadcast of the episode.

Had a good series at the beach, but it was Dec 24th. GRRRR! Cold snap in January brought the manatee into the spring where the water is a constant 78 degrees. Took grandson to see.

On Archival paper and a high end on a high end Canon or Epson printer that uses pigmented ink.

1/26th miles. Now that sounds like a marathon made for me. Just run 26 of them.

It is so hot here, just leave them on the vine and you will pick stewed tomatoes.

I fail to see a reason why not/

My spirit escalated when I scored a 7' tree in good condition for $10. Waited until the 21st to get a tree as daughter and grandson arrived from Switzerland on the 20th and she wanted her 22 m/o son to have the tree experience.

Better than apple sauce, but did you show him his crushed pecans?

And Valentines Day is first day of Lent. So those of you who give up chocolate for Lent, send it to me for proper disposal. Me? Like every year, I give up football for lent and don't watch any games.

I had a little bit of brandy left over but consumed everything else, so had more than enough spirit.

Note to self...don't put it in a forward gear when being towed backwards (as if I didn't already know that.)
