The local PizzaHut is no longer offer the special of $10 for any large pizza with up to 10 toppings (pickup only). Whaaaaaaaaaaaa <sad panda>.

Pizza Hut and Papa Johns have seriously dropped in quality over the last 10 years. I wish they'd stop trying slash costs and move back toward high-quality reasonable-price food.

There was a herd of dead bees under one of the hummingbird feeders today. We had just filled up the feeder and were like, "Oh shit, what's wrong with the sugar water?" So we yanked all the feeders and bleached and rinsed them again and new batch of sugar water is cooling (we boil it). Reading up, the bees may be dying from the weather/season and just came to that feeder for a last supper.

Washed a napkin with my laundry today, so all my clothes have bits of paper stuck to them. Probably came from my bdu jacket cause I also found a carpenters pencil out on the ground. Thought I saw it when I was hanging the wash, but it was dark out, so I just thought happy thoughts and went on with it. Getting to be the time of year stuff doesn't thoroughly dry, so I have it finishing in the dryer. Hopefully that gets rid of most of the paper.

Bought three items on the bay. They've all been marked shipped on Friday, yet not even in the mail.

My WTF level= BULLSHIT!

The BIOS on my motherboard seems to be stuck in read-only mode or something, which means it's defaulting to having virtualization off. No VMs for me.

Yeah I know right, 5pm may as well be 11pm lol. It's crazy what 1 hour does. Does screw all to help mornings either since it's still dark out anyway.
Dark in the morning is good because you can sleep in an hour before hunting and fishing and light in the evening is good because you can go do stuff. Non-DST is crap. I'm in the midwest and I wish we'd use Atlantic DST. The sun sets at 1659 now, AST would put it at 1959. Sounds great. Maybe we need another hour on top of that.

Except when you have a job you have to get up anyway. :p But at this time of year till spring it's dark out before and after work anyway, no matter what you do to the clocks. So we need to just stop messing with it. :p

True, but that extra hour helps on the weekends, at least down here. You're so far north that I'm not sure there's anything to be done for you, unfortunately. I need a job in the mountains on the equator.

What I like is in summer when it's light out till like 10pm, and sun comes up around 4-5. It's so short lived though, maybe 2-3 months of that. Then it's dark most of the time.

I need a way to store electrical energy for a whole year, then I could put solar panels on my house and suck in all the energy in summer and use it all winter. :p

Dallas won so I will have to listen to the fair weather Dallas fans boastings (Super Bowl bound) for this whole coming week.

I thought it was Wednesday all day long. I'm driving home happy that the week's half over, and thinking about what I did this week. Time's not adding up, so I pull my phone out, and check the date... @$#!

Friday's a holiday so today's sort of Wednesday. Unless you don't get Friday off. ;)

The brain is the first thing to go when you are getting old. Just ask Highland. :)

Looks like my new insurance might not be so great. Three months of medicine went from $200 to about $2000. Hopefully I can get off of it soon, but man, I'm paid pretty darn well and this hurts. I can't imagine someone just getting by being in this situation.

I took today off, since I have vacation days I have to use by end of December and it's very hard to find places in the schedule where I can actually take the time off, today was one of the days I could take off. Asked my manager yesterday and he gave it to me. Someone called in sick today so I had to come in anyway. lol.

I actually had a genuine problem today and I cant remember it. Darn.

OH, I remember now.

They finally came out with a new Script Extender for Fallout 4 and I just got it this morning.

SURE ENOUGH! The cocksuckers at Bethesda released a patch for fucking Fallout 4 today!
And it doesnt even really do anything that I need, like fix one of the thousand plus bugs in the damn game. It just patched a couple minor issues in the damn Creation Club.

Now I gotta stop playing the game for a month or two while the script extender people come out with a new version.

If I load and play a game without the Script Extender then a whole bunch of my mods dont work properly and the game gets all screwed up. If I load a game without those mods enabled, my whole character and most of my settlements get permanently ruined.

DAMMIT!
