Good Morning Oh Kee Pa (Part 1)

yeah yeah, i know :crazy: i realize “work from home” jobs don’t actually exist in non-scam format. thanks braaah

mmmmmmmm… china food…mmmmmmmmmmm…

whoa now, I am SERIOUS!!

I keed Brahdley, WHOA!!! BRAHD!!!

Well okay then.

Snow is on the way.

Like, LOTS of snow.

I am in the area of the map that is calling for 12" - 18"!!!

Tomorrow’s gonna suck the big fat sweaty type of balls! Val’s school is already canceled and I have a feeling there won’t be too many people at the office tomorrow.

4 WHEEL DRIVE FOR THE WIN!!!

Morning peeps

Love a Jeep on mornings like this.

Don’t exist? Hmmm… Really? I am here working, at home!

Mornin all!

Loves from the cold north here!

No class on Tuesdays. I gotta work for 3 hours then. Really hoping they cancel class tomorrow! Snow is on the way.

Gooood mornin pa.

I work from home quite often. I find I often get more accomplished from home.

Me too. Doors are off, top is down and nothin’ to do but feel the breeze! :thumbup:

Have a good one, pa!

I find that 4WD, while certainly nice to have, is by no means necessary in the snow. I drive a front-wheel-drive Honda, and I have never gotten to a point where I couldn’t get traction in snow EXCEPT one time I was trying to drive up the mountain to my friend’s house, and since it was a mountain road it got too steep and icy. But yeah, on regular flatland roads and even dirt roads, my little Honda kicks major ass in the snow. And then, when it’s just really really nasty and snowy, I got chains in the trunk for just that occasion! I freaking LOVE driving in the snow. But you probably could have guessed that a while ago. :stuck_out_tongue:

If anybody would care to go ice skating, come to our parking lot!

i almost went to cleveland indians snow days this year. i’m definitely going next year. looks like fun.

Well for once the weather forecast got it right. While it’s not nearly as bad as all the hysteria called for, it is/was pretty bad out. The University is closed. I’d be more excited if I wasn’t sick on top of it. Feels like a waste.

^Feel better Doug. Call in sick tomorrow! :thumbup:

I’ve only been ice-skating once.

Santa Monica thinks it’s really clever to have an 8000’ sq outdoor ice-skating rink in the 75 degree sun, which is kind of silly IMO… but whatever floats yer boat, I guess.

The first day they had it open this year, some kid fell and got his finger sliced off. :astonished:

Have a good one, folks!

^ holy shit!!!

I know this isnt the place to talk about ther weather but meh who cares. It is beautiful here in the mountains today. High around 48 and windy. A great break from yesterday had the shittiest day of 2011 so far. plus it was cold and rainy all day. today is break in the weather and i am pumped.

Mornin all!

-18 with wind chill here, wonderful!

At least we did not get the 'Sconny / Chi-town snow this go 'round!

Loves to all!

Make it yer day, eh?
:wave:

Morning.

Taking a rare day off of cardio after pretty much ODing yesterday. It’s going well though. I’ve lost 8-10 lbs (depending on what time of day it is) and 9 or 10 inches off my whole body. I know it doesn’t seem impressive, but slow and steady wins the race, right? The goal is 50 pounds by the end of spring, early summer, so eyes on the prize :slight_smile:

Hope you are all doing well also. Have a great Thursday and take care!

^Need to have your determination. I need to lose like 60 lbs, but the cookies won’t let me. Damn cookies.

Morning Pa. Today is my Friday because I’m taking a mental health day off tomorrow. Actually, a Dell technician is dropping by to replace the power supply module in my desktop which isn’t even a year old. Fortunately it’s still under warranty, so this is no cost to me. Still makes me wonder whether I should now invest in an extended maintenance contract on the sucker.

Work is remarkably reasonable these days, and I’m finding myself in a much better frame of mind. Like to share that mood with the kids when I can, so I may pick up Madison tomorrow after school and have the sleepover she’s been asking for. We all like it when Marie and I can spend some one-on-one with each of them.

Have a great Thursday.

8-10 pounds is awesome. Congrats. If I could lose just that, this shirt might actually be comforatable to wear, but yeah, I gotta focus on getting in shape…I mean a shape other than round. I need to get a gym membership because I know I’m never gonna work out in my house. I bought a stationary bike, but now it is basically where I hang my dirty clothes. Gyms are so damn expensive though. I wouldn’t have thought I could put a price on my health, but apparently I was wrong…$600-700 a year is that price. I’m just gonna cave though and join a gym where I can pay by the month without getting locked into a contract, then maybe I won’t notice how much I’m paying, or since I’m paying for it every month I’ll feel obliged to use it.

Anyway, have a great day Pa.

Morning dudes. Listening to TMBG’s John Henry album … gets better over time; I really disliked most of it first time thru, many years ago.

Got my multitrack recording software working last night … I think there were cobwebs in there. It’s apparently been since my PREVIOUS computer that I did any multitrack recording, which just underlines for me how much less of that I’ve been doing. I had to reconfigure the drivers and stuff to get it to run the audio card right. So that’s exciting, if you’re me, and I am.

Two coffees down. Sun is out, making the outdoors a lot less crazy than they’ve been in a few days. I got to travel to Providence to do some work today … otherwise it’s a pretty mellow ordinary day so far, and that’s good by me.

Take it slow Pa. Jesus loves you Hank. :smiley:

Days have been up and down. Things are moving forward with the divorce. I feel reasonably well that the house will sell quickly which is going to be the biggest piece to the puzzle. I’m stuck in the house until it does so there is a large part of me that feels I can’t really start to move on until I’m out of there. But I’m okay today. I was sick and stuck in the house for the last few days going stir crazy. Good to get out and get some work done. Even if it is 6 degrees out and the roads suck :slight_smile:

ha, that sounds like my weight bench. i bought it a few months ago and used it for about a week. now it’s got clothes stacked on it. maybe i shouldn’t have put it in the bedroom.

my brother got this insanity dvd set. it’s the craziest cardio program i’ve ever seen. after he did it for the first time he threw up :laughing:

i think i’ll stick with a nice combination of walking/jogging.

everyone have a great day :slight_smile:
