Hey @Gary A. Come on over and help shovel some snow. Ah, forget it, I was up at 5:00 AM getting it done. More coming today but traveling, people gonna have to wait until I get home tonight. One appointment today, then head to plant, long day ahead.

Happy Day After Hosers! I’m working today, ugh. Should be quiet enough but would have preferred to sleep in and laze the day away. Had a wonderful day yesterday after a rocky start in the AM. Princess was a bit of a cranky pants in the morning and mama bear was tired - not a great combination for Christmas breakfast harmony. But, we pulled out of it and enjoyed the day! Didn’t take a lot of photos as I was busy cooking and hosting and drinking. Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday.

Gary likes Chinese.

Same.

We had Chinese the night before Christmas. I feel like it’s beginning to be a tradition for us around the holidays, haha.

We're back to work, too. I found out, Friday, that the Fire/EMS Department is changing the Battalions (battalion = five to eight stations) around a little; about six stations are affected. I'll need to go into the station layer (data file) and change the Battalion field for those stations (five minutes) and then create a new battalion layer (five more minutes). Once that's done, I'll make new Battalion maps (PDFs), just to have them available.

MLW bought poinsettias for the Chief's open house. Since they were 50% off, I grabbed two for our office (red/white variegated and one with red & hot pinkish leaves). Soaked the soil pretty well on Friday and put them in windows (we have northeast- and east-facing windows). This morning, northeaster was fine, but the the east-facing is all wilted. I'm hoping I can revive it by watering, but the green thumb gene skipped me. If it survives, they'll both go into the NE windows for the New Year weekend.

And another Happy Day After from me, hosers! We had fun last night and ate too much. But that's apparently expected on Christmas Day, so I didn't feel too badly about it. The cherry pie was rockin'.

Hope everyone enjoys a short work week! Remember, there's another one to look forward to before the real winter doldrums set in.

Morning hosers.

Christmas, presents, eating and drinking, family, snow, yadda yadda...There's my report.

I have the rest of the week off. At my school, we forego certain holidays during the year so we can close the entire school for this week between Christmas and New Year. Faculty, of course, gets more time off since classes don't start until the 16th. This may sound like a lot, but trust me - teaching exhaustion is different than day-job exhaustion, and more time is needed to recover from it.

Staff and administrators are back on the 2nd. Until then, I am in recovery mode.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. it's 45F presently, looking forward to a high of 68F. Christmas on the quiet side and very pleasant. Santa left Gary a BB-8 robot that races around via phone app or a wrist thingie. Gary spent the afternoon chasing Maggie around the house and vice versa. Mary Lou and Gary watched My Sister's Keeper. A very interesting movie about an overly controlling mother who creates an in vitro /gmo child for the purpose of saving another child with cancer. Very very complex situation of ethics and motherly love. Gary gave it five stars, Mary Lou three. Then in the middle of the night Gary realized what was bothering him about the movie which he couldn't quite put his finger on. That situation, as it was presented, couldn't/shouldn't happen because of physician ethical codes and our Constitution. But I'll zip my fingers there as it is well worth watching.

Hosers! Hitchcock and hockey today. World Juniors starts with three games today, and I can rewatch some Hitch in between. Christmas wore me out, I like this Boxing Day thing.

I was going to post a “where am I?” picture for the NE hosers, but I can’t jam with the reduced photo posting sizes ‘cause I’ve already finished my first brewery stop. I finished 2 samples of 12% stouts in the way out.

Don’t worry....I have a driver.

My cousin who lives in the sticks in far west Texas has come by to see Dad and I.
Electric would have costed $16,000
He has solar at roughly $13,000.
