Didn't make 30 today. I'm good with that. The wind kinda sucked, but I've seen worse. The worst part is trying to manipulate gadgets with gloves on. Constantly fatfingering buttons :^S

Lol yeah doing anything with gloves is a pain. I finished putting in all the screws in my shed to make it more solid, and I started installing tyvek but really awkward with gloves. I decided to call it quits as it was way too loud. I will really try harder to get up early tomorrow so I can do it in the day.

You wouldn't like the weather down here. In Fort Worth Texas today it is a fridged 77F (+25C) with winds around 10 mph.
It would take a bit to get used to the hot summers, but I’ve got a touch of arthritis - so going south is sounding good to me. The wife isn’t on board yet :(

77 in Dec would make me angry, like rage quit work, and hit the road kind of angry. Summer... Yea, right. I'd be heading to AK, and be homeless there before dealing with TX summer.

Way back when, shorts/t-shirts all winter. Granted it is S.C. The soon to be in-laws, 21 years ago, "Uh, you know it's 30 outside, right?" Yeah, you damned carpetbaggers. :D The other week, the 16 y.o. was bitching that it was 68 in the house. Wonder if I need to get him checked. His testicles might not have dropped yet.:D:D

I started putting house wrap on my shed. Ran out of staples. HAd to go to HD to get some. Got back home, continued, realized I did not have enough house wrap FML. Went back to HD to get more. By then it was too late to finish the job. Tomorrow I work night shifts, but I technically can finish it in the day now that I have everything lol. It was kind of deceiving how much 100' of roll can cover. I just kind of assumed in my mind it was a lot but was not accounting for overlapping etc.

Haha I always wear tshirts, it's rare I have long sleeves. Unless I'm working outside for extended time then I might put a hoodie. I've even worn shorts in winter, if I don't plan to go outside that day. :p

68 is warm!

I tried a Lindt white chocolate - citrus truffle. It's sort of like biting into Speed Stick.

I tried their Gingerbread chocolate the other day. I don't know what I was expecting, because I am not a big fan of gingerbread, but it was freaking AMAZING! Possibly the best Lindt chocolate flavor I've ever tried. I ate the remaining five out of the mixed bag, hahaha.

I had to start traveling again for work and I lost all my status after doing local stuff for 2 years.... and I had to fly coach.... with the peasants... ewwww.

But srsly I feel like I'm starting to spark some inner-autism in me because I start to go batshit crazy having to sit so close to others in a confined box space with no room to even stretch your legs for a little blood-flow...

Today was the first day of my three week vacation, and I'm going to have a hard time deciding what to do.

Had a MRI on the left bicep. 45 min of laying on the shoulder with the arm stretched out kind of sucks. Took a hydrocodone ahead of time. It didn't help and now my brain is fuzzy.

I can take those nasty pills off your hands if you don't like them, just because we are friends.
