dead tired...
still caffeinated...

G'Day...

3°/14°C @ 82% RH, still overcast and some rain in the morning , should clear up during the afternoon

ze GF ran late and had to rush out da house, so I slurped my cups as loner...

tinkered on someone else's '85 bike yesterday, success on both issues originally focussed on, but now the charging system is about to fail...

nothing on the schedule today... guess I'll play "houseman", doing laundry, baking bread (nah! not Braking Bad... ), installing light fixtures and stuff...

this site is acting up again today, after kicking in my VPN to have a secure line its running flawless... weird...

there is a glimpse of weekend dawning on the horizon...

Good morning everyone

Thanks for the start, Martin.

It's 45°F and clear in Rockville now, expecting another perfect weather day with cloudless blue skies and air warming to 69. I could get to like this pattern and it pleases me that it's forecast to last for at least another week before perhaps changing slightly. At the moment Halloween looks decent- a high in the mid 70s, low around 65, mixed sun and clouds.

That's good news for the next door neighbor, who has been laboring as usual to decorate his house and yard for the occasion. It takes most of the month of October, and draws onlookers who swing past to watch the progress. This will be the last year he does it, he says, so I'm glad it'll have decent weather and presumably a good draw to go out on a high note.

Yesterday turned into goof and more goof- a full 18 hole round with strangers followed by the regular late afternoon half round with friends. I thought I might be feeling it this morning but was pleasantly surprised when my arms, legs, and back all went into action with but little complaint.

The uke club moves into new quarters today, after we were summarily dismissed from our previous venue last week. We'll see how the new place, or places, play out over time.

Satay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.

Thanks again, Martin.
I'm already on my third cup, one pot down and maybe another shortly.
There's a whole lotta things I ain't never done...
And too much coffee ranks up at Number One.
(With apologies to Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen - and yes they were a band. From their song "Too Much Fum.)
OK, moving on...
Couple of long pre-course assignments have to be completed before Day 1 of the RiderCoach prep class, including the e- course that had just been released when I quit coaching.
First weekend is taking the BRC again, which is always fun for me.
But no longer are there any Suzuki TU250s, Honda Nighthawks (which constantly required changing fouled plugs), or Kawasaki Eliminator 125s. They have aged out, and are replaced by the Honda Navi and other weird stuff.
No biggie.
Whatever it takes.
Guess I'll make another pot, it's too dark, too cold, and too early to go to work yet.
BINC.
Not out loud, anyway...

@Mellow Ovaltine and embers? Good for you. All you need is some Weetabix.

I'm afraid to look that up.

Morning all, and thanks for the startup, Martin.

4C for the ride to work in the dark. 10C and cloudy for the ride home, if lucky.

Today's the annual flu shot clinic at work. The flu? Nobody's got time for that crap. An ounce of prevention I say.

Not much else on the books, other than to continue yesterday's PHP mitigation crap. That might be part of Martin's problem, as the issue has world wide implications. Many companies and governments just took down their websites until the upgrades can be rolled out. Phhhhhttt as Ray would say.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Obo.

Mornin’ y’all. I’ll have a cup, if you don’t mind, Martin.

Our weather is similar to Keith’s. 45 degrees to start, but we’ll reach 75 this afternoon, under clear skies. This pattern repeats for the next 7-10 days.

I was supposed to start radiation treatments this morning, but I’ve been rescheduled to start tomorrow.. So, fo the next couple of months, it’s going to be getting up early for a 7:15 AM appointment, 5 days a week. Another Pfffttt moment.

John

Ah yes. The song I always associate with them is Hot Rod Lincoln, which they covered in 1971:

My Daddy said "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
if you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln."

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee, Martin.

It's clear and 46 in MA this morning remaining clear/sunny and rising to 63, later.

I accomplished all of my To-Do list items, yesterday, except for dinner at the local BBQ place. Instead, I found an excellent pulled pork sandwich at our local pub.

Today, I'll head over to the gym again, and then on to whatever today's plan is.

Enjoy the day,
Steve
