It Rocks.

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of a lens I ordered . It is "out for delivery" today! Had a bit of a GAS attack the other day - a very long and interesting trip down the ebay rabbit hole...will tell all in a later thread. The dog barks every time anyone walks by or pulls into any driveway on the street. I have been to the door no less than 10 times today but nothing!

Well this trip just keeps getting better for us. This park we are in is so tight, that you can't park normally, you have to pull in sideways parallel to the road. My idiot, neighbor put a bike rack out for free along the road, "directly" in front of my truck. So, when I got in to leave it was below my line of sight, meaning when I pulled out, my outside dual caught it, and kicked it into my truck, putting a large scrape and scratches on the rear fender. The really bad side of me wants to return the favor by dumping a box of roofing nails that I want to get rid of around his car, but the good side of me is fighting valiantly to contain the bad side. Who will win is anyone's guess.

Lots of people having to resist the dark side these days. I sense an imbalance in The Force.

This is true, but "Once you start down the dark patb, forever will it dominate your destiny....consume you it will".

When your new lens comes and it’s dark and cold out

Moderate the dark side... just use a few nails, not a whole box!

Or hope that karma will strike?

It never hurts to give Karma a helping hand now and again.

Morning peeps. Friday would be it for normal people. I get to it again tomorrow.
Pretty decent mug of coffee.
I don't really have a dark side fighting to get out. There was a thing on Facebook with 24 things. Every one you didn't do.
I got 19. Had a pretty sedate life.

Good morning!
We made it home without incident. Well, I had to decide whether, or not to get a Dille Bar at the Dairy Queen stand in Breezewood (I declined). Off to work, in a few; going to be finishing up the data collection for the Fire Risk pilot area, and start on the map series.

POTY is a 4-way tie, so a panel of moderators is being consulted. I'll have the winner announced this evening.

I had avocado toast with a drizzle of olive oil and an over easy egg on top for breakfast this morning. I'm such a millennial.

Morning Hosers! It’s been a short week made even shorter by a busy schedule. And here we are at Friday again so soon! Pats vs Jags on Sunday. Not sure if Brady is really hurt (hand) or if B.B. is just screwing with people. Hoping for the latter.

Just watched the B.B. presser which is terrible as far as sharing any relevant info but hilarious due to its lack of content and BB’s deadpan delivery when asked an obvious question.

That sounds delish!

I had a homemade granola bar and (also homemade) egg muffin. I'm such a...yeah, I don't know what I am.

The thing I find amusing is that so much that is said about Millenials ("They're the first generation to do X or Y or Z..." or "They'll be the ruin of us all!") was pretty much said already about us Gen X-ers. We're just a smaller generation and don't get the attention. And we don't care, either

JonA_CT · Jan 19, 2018

Oh, we definitely get a bad rap. It's a huge range of years though, and I feel like a lot of the things affecting us were actually caused by other generations, haha. I graduated college (the price of which, when adjusted for inflation, was the highest ever) right as the bottom fell out of the stock market. I was incredibly lucky to find work. There were just no opportunities for many of my classmates. My friends who didn't go to college didn't have a nice unionized blue-collar job to walk into after high school either.

But hey...whatever. I have friends working at Space-X. I have friends doing research in toxicology. I have friends leading social movements. I have plenty of friends who are working for our children. Our legacy will be just fine.
