Before I turned the TV off, cancelled satellite and pulled the OTA antenna down, I recorded many hours of shows. Not sure how much now, but I seem to recall a couple of hundred hours. It's all on a 4TB EHD. That was close to ten years ago. I've never watched a minute of it since.

But I know darn well that the day after I delete all of it, I'll get the bug to watch something.

A little bit hungover from the big ass neighborhood wide Halloween party we had yesterday.

Took today off, but still have to host a meeting at 8:30am. Ugh...

This was last week. I had to go into a gender neutral bathroom with urinals and stalls in it and women and men of all ages! THE INHUMANITY!

Can't tolerate KitKat original anymore. Tastes nasty. Only Dark one will do it for me. Heck, Mars/Snickers is better than KitKat original.


Cocoa is a bitter food. But it's better than sugar.

And of course igor, you still eat garbage like candy in the first place. At least when I lapse, I can resist candy and sweet drinks.

it's 56 f'in degrees outside! I wanted to go on a 1AM ride on my electric scooter, but even with my leather riding jacket, I'd freeze my balls off. I have no idea how motorcycle riders in the Midwest and places where it actually freezes do it. When it's 68 and I go on a midnight ride, even going only 30 I start to almost go numb. I couldn't imagine going 85 on a freeway on a motorcycle in this damn weather.

Now I need to save up money for thermal undergear.
Where do you live, California or FL? 60 degrees is usually my threshold between comfort and discomfort.

This time of year especially, 60F is comfortable. I’m usually wearing jorts, t-shirt, and no-show socks in my shoes.

Called 911 first thing this morning. Wokeup, and I was juggling two phones. One of them I managed to bring up the keyboard, and press the [emergency call] button. I of course hungup as quickly as possible, and then I get the call... I'm looking at it like I do normal calls, eg "Fuck this guy. They can leave a message", and I think nothing good will come from ignoring this one, so I answer and explain why I called them, and that everything is indeed cool here. Pain in the fucking ass. I want to remove that button, but phones are such locked down pieces of shit, you can't do anything with them.

edit:
Could be worse Squirrel, but I definitely like the beard better.

I accidentally called 911 at work once, that was kind of funny and got razzed out for that one lol. Cops had to show up anyway to make sure everything was ok. I was trying to dial a 1-800 number, so dial 9 to get outside line, I must have hit it twice, and somehow hit the 1 twice too. I think I may have picked up a noisy trunk and it was maybe cutting out enough for both digits to register twice. As funny as it would be if it was my mess up I'm pretty sure it was the PBX glitching since it happened to another person around the same time.

Our work lines had the dial 9 to get out feature . After sufficient bitching by pretty much everyone, we got it changed to dial 8 to get out.

I never know which is which and I don't really care, I just want to stop this madness of changing clocks twice a year. It serves no purpose. It was still pitch black this morning before work, and it will still be pitch black tonight after work. No amount of changing clocks will change that.
