Coffee and breakfast burrito in progress. Fighting a headache that has lack of sleep from being on-call all over it. The next few days should be better (fingers crossed) but I'm dreading Thanksgiving. Here's to hoping at least it's not Christmas and getting people who want holiday pay should be easier.

Watched the pre-race stuff Saturday night and the race on Sunday morning. Glad things worked out and it ended with better race conditions than it started. Clearly next year we need @heysi driving around the course non-stop for a week before hand to lay down some rubber. Wasn't planning on it, but I put the Christmas lights up on the house Sunday because it was sunny and I figured earlier was better than in drizzle later. Still have plenty of extension chords to run and lights on foliage, but that's the easy part.

I'll get right on that.......I just need you credit card number for the new tires after I perform that service on your behalf.
Just place it under “services rendered” as you do all those “other services” for him. The accounting department won’t know

Well, here I am. Another less than wonderful sleep because of a hospital busting at the seams. I ran again with the 6S to get a super quick shave to get out the door earlier than my normal early time. I did take time for 3 passes instead of the 2 I did yesterday. Taking a moment to watch the gorgeous sunrise though. This time of year we have whispy clouds so they light up red, pink, and peach against a blue sky. It's really something.

Well, through the power of Gear, I didn't get called last night and got a full night's sleep! Not to tempt fate, but things are looking good for tomorrow being fairly smooth.

Ok, so I’ve been away and am just catching up on your journal, but how is it that over a week has passed and nobody commented on this :



Do they make unisex/men’s fragrances?
Yes sir. But my mistake, it's very sexy, not too sexy.

So yesterday went pretty well. Just my wife and I, my daughter, and the in-laws. They brought the turkey which was the best I've ever had in my life. He did a dry brine rub, let it sit in the fridge for three days, and then smothered the outside with a mix of fresh herbs. And of course, a delicious Napa Cab.

Here we are, the rapid slide into Christmas. The living room was rearranged to facilitate the tree and the tree was procured yesterday. All lit up and decorated now. Next will be lugging up about 1,700 boxes or so for the Christmas village. Then decorating the rest of the outside. Got three deer light statues to add to everything yesterday. And then, opening the pile of Amazon boxes and start wrapping. I think a lot of this will wait for the weekend though.
