Tuesday was spent hanging out with the grandkids and digging Blue¹ out of the ice. The weather guessers are postulating yet another big snow storm this coming weekend. The weekend we had planned on heading north. The Missus Herself has decided that we will travel on Friday. In order to "miss" the snow. Maybe an inch here, maybe a foot up there.
Who knows?
I sure don't, but she has spoken and I can but obey.
I tried pointing out that we have a generator here, we don't there ...
I fought the law and the law won.
Remember the book, Almost a Lifetime, ya know, the one I keep promising to get published, some day?
Yeah, that one. Still in the plan. However, as I like writing more than I do researching "how to publish a book," I wrote a prequel to Almost a Lifetime. Which goes by the working title of The Prequel. Yes, I will eventually change the name.
I'm editing that one now, because I want to write more. And I will. I'm looking at a trilogy, maybe more. Depends on my mood, mostly.
You can read both books in their raw form here on the blog. One you can find here, the other you cannot, doing all those links takes time dontcha know, and back then I had a regular job, and not much time to do all those links.
Bottom line, you'll have to hunt for it, start here, that's the first chapter of the prequel. I'd help more, but I'm incredibly lazy, more so since I retired. C'est la vie!
Things are nice and quiet here at Chez Tuttle et Nuke for the most part. The boys get a little rowdy at times (no school yet to help them burn off energy) but hey, that's what I get paid for. (What's that? I don't get paid? This is volunteer work? Okay, they're good boys, I can live with that.)
The bruises will heal and perhaps teach this old man not to try and keep up with a five year old and a three year old. I'll know when I'm really old, that's when the boys beat me in a fair fight! (No, I don't play fair now, they've got me outnumbered!)

Ciao!
¹ Blue is my 2020 Honda Pilot, a fine vehicle she is. She is blue in color, hence the name. Clever lad ain't I?
Oh boy! A TREASURE HUNT!!!! It'll be well worth the digging, thanks.
ReplyDelete"Weather guessers" for sure. Last weekend the guesses were for a big rain storm.to hit today. We had clouds and got a whopping 0.03" of wet here yesterday. The readers of tea leaves and sheep entrails are now saying that the next 10 days will be very mild, both day and night. Cloudy.
Maybe I should start building an Ark.
If you don't build an Ark, it will rain. OTOH, if you do, it won't.
DeleteAround here there is is a news conference this morning announcing how the Capital City Street crews will be handling pothole repairs, last couple of weeks driving has been a jarring experience. Wonder if their hot-mix plant is opening now? Adaptability is important when looking at a snowfall around a foot, good luck there Sarge.....:) Considering a whole house generator myself.....(sigh)
ReplyDeleteAdaptability is good in 99% of life.
DeleteWell Campers, it's a bit chilly down here in Texas right now. But, the Ice and Snow melted yesterday and sublimated, which is a good thing as the temperature as I'm typing this is 29, but the streets are clear. High today is supposed to be 55 and clear, so...
ReplyDeleteHope all y'all that aren't under the conditions down here can stay warm and safe.
Cheers,

Warm is good. As is safe.
DeleteWhen we lived in the northeast we always prayed for snow, particularly on Fridays: it's difficult to ski on asphalt or concrete
ReplyDeleteSnowstorms during the week make the commute a nightmare and most companies don't shut down for weather. Though many of the decision makers stay home and work from there.
DeleteSo...the old "Rules for thee, but not for me" school of management, huh?

As has ever been and shall always be.
