    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.
    I don’t drive my Pagani Zonda R 230mph either.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    You have a driver that drives you?

    Technically it is now Saturday AM.  Been doing some traveling today to deal with a non business cluster phque.  Later this AM begins the great reveal.  All good for me-I'm just the bad guy here.  This is all I will offer.

    Apparently a illegal Canadian border fence that violated the treaty ending the war of 1812 has been removed . . .

    yep. it was too close. has to be 3m (10ft) away from the international border. Violated the Treaty of Ghent. 

    it was put up because a senior got lost along that section of Canada, wandered into the States, and was not found until he had already passed away. That section is pretty unique in that it is very wooded and two towns (Tsawwassen/Delta, BC and Port Roberts, WA line up against each other and that the location is a peninsula, isolating Point Roberts on the tip of the peninsula from the rest of the contiguous state of Washington.

    Definitely a pedestrian night on the horizon.  I'm considering my options-LEO is in the lead.  Escape velocity is lagging by a lot but that could change.  
    Stay healthy and safe out there.
    Happy Friday! 🥃

    The weather forecast and the glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in my hand means that I’m also deep into chilly-an’-wine. 

    I will see myself out - but probably not fast enough.

    I wonder if tariff's will be placed on foreign wines being imported into the the US?

    I also wonder if that tariff will apply to California wines shipped out of state.

    Today was chilly and snowy. I did my '24 taxes and baked a loaf of bread. Not exciting, I know, sorry, but needed to get done.

    This Friday was not good to me. That morning I was scheduled to go to a Dr appointment. I walked out of the door at my house, put one foot on the stairs that apparently were covered in ice. My left leg slipped straight out really fast but it didn't do any damage. My right leg however, when I tried to put it down to stop the slide, folded up all the way and slammed, knee down in onto the granite step, which is bad if you have  knee placements and I do. I then had to unfold it in order to reach my cell phone to call for help. When I turned it over my lower lea was facing left and my upper leg was kind pointing right, at least the bone was. I had broken my femur just above my knee replacement. I heard and felt it when it snapped. That not the worst news. When I got to the local hospital, they told me that they couldn't fix it because it was to close to the replacement. They started calling around but they couldn't find the right specialist. I waited for a long long time. I sat In the  hospital for two and a half days with a badly smashed femur. Because I'm already on pain meds for my chronic pain (legally) they were very cautious with the pain meds. What they gave for the pain meds amounted to less than what I take daily. So I was sitting around with a badly broken femur, and I'm on less pain meds the I've taken on a daily basis for over a year. It was brutal, going through minor withdrawals WITH a newly broken femur, for two and a half days. Excruciating pain doesn't even begin escribe it. Mid day today they finally did the operation. The bone was pretty badly damaged. I ended up with two fairly large metal plates and around 20 screws. Still in the hospital, will be for a few more days I think. You think I'd be used to it by now but it still gets old. I think this is my nineteenth major operation. I can't even count the minor ones. Woohoo!

    Thanks John. I did the same on my left femur last year. I fall down a lot and with my bones weakened by a disease, they break easily. This break was far worse. I guess I should happy that it wasn't my head, they couldn't fix that.

    F'ing gravity and what an outcome.  Da-n. At least you weathered the compound casualties and hopefully are headed home.

    Thank you all for the kind words. Time will heal this. Having to go for 2-1/2 days with a broken leg was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've been through a lot for sure. I'll get through this too, just need time to heal.

    Nothing exciting on the agenda.  Celebrating the first time in 5 days the temperature has made it above freezing (barely).  Will transition to LEO later.

    Enjoying the weather gods looking out for us-Mid 50's *F here.  Beyond that maximizing the evening as Saturday PM is impacted by a 5:30 AM Sunday commercial (sorry @lkapigian, pedestrian here) flight.  Business and a cluster phque deal.

    A bit different as I am on the road and waiting around to fly back to the land of bourbon and horses.  I have aged out of the "meet the plane at 30 Kft" and go.  
    Happy Friday.
