Can't really complain too much. Had a pretty chill and nice weekend, grabbed burgers at a local diner with Friday night, Saturday rode bikes around town with a buddy of mine and test road mountain bikes since my MTB frame broke. Cooked some Indian curry with the wife that night. Yesterday we took down decorations, walked , hung out at home. I went for another bike ride. ALl in all a good time, nothing too exciting. Sadly I'm off of booze/weed until further notice due to dr's orders surrounding my broken , so that's a slight drag.
Bossbro is back this week, thinking things may pick back up a bit work wise, haven't done a ton with the new position just yet. I'm also hoping to test out another mountain bike or two this week, perhaps on one
Good luck with the sitch, I hope it falls into place for you with less weed/booze, or maybe they'll find a root cause of the missing swimmers conundrum.
There's no bicycling around here, it's cold AF, can't really even get the kids outside with some weird cold front.
We had a small family gettogether, and my wife made a really tasty curried cauliflower soup... It was sooo good. I love that spice!
Me too man, Indian is one of my favorite genres of food, Mexican and burgers being the other two I think.
I'm not super concerned about the , it'll be what it'll be. I'm sure I'll be back to boozin' one way or another eventually

Re weekend, Saturday bro and I brought mom home. Needless to say, she's very happy to be home and will continue to get PT there to further regain some of her strength after her 2 recent falls/broken bones. The rest of the weekend was devoted to de-Christmasing the house. We still have a pretty long way to go, lol.
Oh, this was fun. Saturday late afternoon and into the night, we had a light but persistent drizzle that lasted into the early morning yesterday. And then the temps fell to single digits. Consequently, there was a light coat of ice over every surface outside. I went out to get the paper from my driveway yesterday morning and proceeded to slip and fall down the last 2-3 steps of my front porch. Banged my right elbow on the 2nd step, my ribs on the left side on the first step, and then slammed my head on the concrete walkway at the bottom of the stairs. I hit my head so hard it flung my glasses off and they landed a couple feet behind me. I laid there dazed for a moment then slowly got up. Had a dull headache and an bump on the back of my head. An Ibuprofen (Motrin) helped with the headache, but it's back this morning, along with a sore ribcage and a sore neck. I must have tensed up my neck muscles as I was falling because the tendons in the front of my neck are all sore. Basically whiplash. Took another Ibuprofen this morning and will probably need one tonight.
Fuck man, glad you're OK, sounds like a pretty nasty fall.
that you subscribe to a print newspaper I don't think I've touched one in almost a decade.
I remember they had free Miami Heralds in college in the dining hall I used to read when I ate solo, as it was pre-smart phone life.

Thanks. It wasn't pleasant, that's for sure.
I am old school, as we all know. Newspapers are dying across the country and I think they still provide an important service, both nationally, and, especially, on the local level, exposing in local government, etc. I do what I can to keep at least one of the local papers going. I read part of it over breakfast in the morning then finish it at lunch.

Ouch, that sounds like a pretty hard tumble, I hit my elbow like that trying to drop into a short bowl on a skateboard. I was really glad to have a helmet on when I wiped out, but my elbow hurt for a couple of weeks afterwards. It sounds like you took the fall fairly well considering that you bashed your elbow, ribs and head really hard and , pretty durable for a !
Hope it's a quick recovery.
Of course the dickhead shows up not wearing a mask and comes to shake my hand.
I told him he needs to wear one (it's Illinois law) so he rolled his eyes and took one out of his pocket to show me. I told him they work better on your face than in your pocket, as I took out my hand sanitizer and cleaned off my hands.
Did I mention he's in from TX?

Pretty shitty out here also... I am working 2 jobs at my current company currently which is a huge pain in the ass. Also flew into Vegas on Sat to pick up an unobtanium watch. However instead of feasting on god knows what and getting drunk I ended up working most of the day there.... it was super stressful.
On the way back we witnessed someone getting thrown off the plane, that person was an absolute bitch... but it was still annoying AF as it was a flight that was already late. Now waiting for the Covid to kick in... so much for staying home and staying safe. Literally dumbest time to travel period. But the watch had to be picked up.

I like automatics, something about them being completely battery free makes them appealing to me and I've got three of them along with one g-shock for putting around the garage/pool or whatever. I also think that a watch is an expression of the wearer, so I make notice of what people are wearing.

Dude, glad to hear it wasn't worse.
Same thing happened up here, we have ice everywhere, now under snow. It's pretty hazardous to just walk outside right now, almost fell a few times over the last couple of days. Just last night I was thinking about how lucky I was to have not fallen yet I played your exact scenario through my head.
Be safe out there folks in the north! Winter is here, and it's a bitch.
9 degrees outside with a persistent 20mph west wind and light snow today. So much bleh.

I have a great with the Chicago Sun Times - $2/week for 7 deliveries per week. I get auto billed $106 once a year on my CC. True, it's not the thickest paper out there, but its editorialists are pretty independent, features columnists from a pretty politically broad spectrum of opinions, and it has a decent sports section. for $2/week, IMO.

I believe the Desert Sun wanted a renewal rate of $436 year or some such. The digital version is a tiny fraction of that.

It really does. Even yesterday morning, when it was just 9F out, the ice was melting on my front steps, which are painted dark brown (the dark color also helps absorb any feeble heat from the winter sun), which was partly why I fell. I thought there was no ice but I was obviously . Plus, wet, melting ice is much more slippery than solidly frozen ice.
