    Yeah. this area does make me want to get into riding, but seeing how people around here drive is enough discouragement for me.

    And there goes HoneyBadger, pretending he gives a $h!t about our snow!
    I can (barely) remember as a child in Palm Springs, wondering why I never got a sled for Xmas, like all the kids in the movies. Heck, I could SEE the snow on top of Mt. San Jacinto.
    I did finally figure it out.

    Had a great day as far as productivity. Took apart the p-trap and ran the snake a bit into the wall. I couldn't go far, but it was far enough. Rotated the tires on the car. I guess that's it, but it felt like a ton.

    Well, another year at work in the books, finally. We all went in this morning and did the inventory, I knocked out what I had to do, finished up the last of the payroll for my department and came home. I don't go back until 1/5/2016. However, last night I knew I was coming down with something and this morning I have the beginning of a cold or some such ailment. I have the feel better medicine and the vitamin C going full time as I need to fit enough for Monday Night Football at Mile High with my daughter. I figure I need to be on the road from Ft. Collins by 3:30 to get there, park and find our seats.

    Heard on the news that this is the first year that a major flu outbreak hasn't been an issue yet for this time of the year. I took that to mean that since I've not (to my knowledge) had the flu in my life, that this is my lucky year. Probably right when I'm supposed to start my new job.

    Went after Christmas shopping at the outlets. Arcteryx had some sweet deals on the camouflage gear...but I got plenty of that from deployments, so I picked up a new jacket....

    If it's something like the spouse had. Hopefully it knocks you out for a solid day, then slowly recover and appetite comes back. I'd leave earlier grab eats down there. You trying to park close in or grab RTD from 120th?
