    Slow but relatively good evening.  LEO may become a player later but not due to the current environment.  It's all good following the hard-charge of Xmas and the run-up.

    Ordered Crepes at 3am.  Delivered via bike.  Tasted pretty good.  Almost forgot to get some before I fly out of Paris in a few hours.

    An odd commercial on TV (involving an old dog and a guy playing a banjo, no recollection of what they were trying to sell) made me think about a couple things that I owned, that drove my two Corgis into a frenzy, and I don’t know why.  One was a Native American flute-kinda instrument, about the size and shape of an ocarina, but made of glazed clay and with only five holes.  IF it was built properly, it did not play notes from our Western twelve-tone scale (not surprising); but, it drove my dogs crazy, they would immediately start barking/snarling and jumping on me.  They did NOT like that instrument.  
    But the thing I want to ask about tonight (this Friday between Xmas and NYE is weird, even more so when you’re retired) is a feather duster.  I bought one decades ago, it worked better on my A/V equipment and bookcases than an old t-shirt for dusting.  But the Corgis went absolutely bonkers when they saw me using it.  
    Does anyone else here have a dog who goes crazy at the sight of a feather-duster?  Yeah, an odd topic for a Friday night, but it’s an odd Friday.

    Bump for the youngest Friday of 2025.  Pedestrian evening while ensuring all systems go the for the Saturday @RRP inspired English muffin adventure.

    had 7 family members over for board games and eats. Some of the family was in from Ontario.  A bunch of years back we did a picture of all 6 cousins from the youngest generation on the couch. We redid the picture today missing only one of the cousins as he is still in Chicago until the season is over.

    For a moment there I thought this was going to go the way of one of those RRP stories where a few people end up dead along the way.

    Yep- the man in brown came thru today right on schedule.  Beef plate ribs from OakBarn Beef out of Nebraska.  Great eats await!  And not even Friday!

    These older cars keep shrinking.  Can barely see it from in the cab.

    That would have been a great truck for bushwhackin.  =)  You know I wonder if that fun game is even done anymore! I recall before I got in to heavy petting I thought bushwhackin was so fun (immaturity age exposed) but after??? I could have killed any sumb*tch that pulled that crap! (maturity age exposed).

    Biological shrink is age and any time temperature dependent. I guess that translates to lack of esteem and the need for more manly (we/he/her/us they/them etc) sized cars. I'm sure you have noticed over the past several car model years that the models keep the same name but are enlarged.  In search of...

    This 2025 GMC 2500 makes my 2018 Ram 2500 seem small.  Cars definitely keep getting larger, not sure where the endgame is.

    …And yet existing infrastructure remains unchanged. It’s getting to the point where two larger vehicles can barely fit side by side in adjacent lanes and parking spots.

    We have one larger vehicle (still on the smaller side by today’s standards) and one small car. Love having the combo, as the small car is pretty clutch when parking downtown. Question of having the right tool for the job, I suppose. 

    I don’t know about everywhere else, but here, unless it’s a commercial vehicle, it’s exceedingly rare to see a truck with a load in its bed, even though they are prevalent.

    We live in horse country here, so non-commercial trucks fully loaded with trailers, hay, feed, etc are fairly common.  However, if I drive more into the city, unless there is a random furniture load, most the non-commercial trucks are empty.

    My truck is not loaded as often as I would like. I haven't had my goosneck hitch installed yet, so still use the RAM for hauling horses.

    Edit: I am talking about the HD trucks (2500/3500/450).  90% of the 1500 size trucks are never loaded.

    Any non commercial pickup trucks around here that I see are extensions of a small appendage.  Never loaded and the beds are more cared for than the truck body.  Most drivers couldn't nail a parking spot with three attempts.  Horse 🐎 country so you've gotta have.

    For the record-tonight is quiet with around 3-5 " of new (today) snow on the ground.  Hoping to make it to Sunday when the temperature may climb to 35*F for a bit before another week of subfreezing temps.
    Amazing how much your perspective of cold and ability to address goes south with age.  I'm there!

    Back in '94 I bought a new Ford Ranger cab & a half with a 6 banger & stick in the floor.  I had used the excuse that I needed it to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood, but I never measured the bed first. The distance between the rear wheel humps was like only 40". I think in the 8 years I had it I only carried 1 sheet and that was with it wrapped with a tarp to prevent paint damage to the bed! I must have thought I was an urban cowboy or construction dude instead of a suit and tie banker!

    This is pretty funny.

    Sometimes my wife drives around with empty seats in her suv.

    Sometimes the rack on my truck doesn't have a bike on it or anything in the bed.  

    Sometimes the trunk in my car is empty.

    But when I need those things, they're there. I don't use any of them for work.
    Love you bro!
