• Probably doing another 4-5 mile run after work
• Training for the Charleston bridge run race in a month or two really sucks, especially since I'm only racing against myself
• Dogs were extra cute on my way out this morning. Really wish they could come hang out at work but the man say you can't do that
• People would maybe, probably be more productive... idk but there's only one way to find out

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Woke up at 5 a.m.

Before heading to work, had to kill 5 wasps in the house.

53 degrees in the Fort this morning.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Have a wonderful day!

ZzzZz

Dog declined walk, breakfast pending. Guy coming by this morning to put new access doors on my crawlspace. Also have an electrician coming by since one of my breakers won't reset - I suspect that the crawlspace dudes may have inadvertently pinched a wire or something yesterday. C'est la vie.

7:15am meeting was faster than usual. A couple of vocal members of the peanut gallery were not in attendance

Busy day ahead.

Got home at a decent hour yesterday and immediately started working in the front yard. Reset the gopher traps since that varmint pushed up some more dirt. I had started clearing the leaves and stuff from the big flower bed around the oaks on Saturday before it rained. Yesterday I cut yaupon and trimmed the dead shoots of the lilies. Accidentally pulled up some bulbs for lilies so planted those back.

Clear the rest of the leaves and dead lily parts this evening and put down the mulch. I want to prune the roses and was going to last week because we always had to prune by Valentine's Day on the coast. My wife swears the people at the Antique Rose Emporium said not to prune until March.

Yeah. Ok. I dead-headed them in the fall and she was sure I injured them. I injured them so badly they are seven freaking feet tall now.

Good abbreviated guitar practice last night.

66 wonderful degrees with rain coming and a breeze here in west Georgia/east Alabama. Breakfast is done with coffee.
Because a good day starts with good coffee (recommend Costco's Colombia Supremo beans for value y flavor).
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

Getting new breaks on my truck. Appointment was at 9:00. Don't have my truck on the rack yet. Waiting for the upsell to the upsell to the upsell for the overcharge. These chairs are not comfortable. They need some recliners in here so I can take a nap. Big ol bag of bleh.

Let's all say it together: "I will not enter a free-flowing highway at slower than 50 mph."

Don't drive in Arkansas, because they do not know how to properly enter a freeway.

She can do whatever she wants.

My tonsils are so swollen that the back of my throat looks like the inside of a gothic church.

Can confirm. Same goes for Alabama and Mississippi.

Ain't nobody calling for Rule 1 on that.

The cat cam went off at 5am this morning. Now I am not veterinarian nor do I have a degree in Animal Science. But I'm pretty sure this isn't a cat.

Raykins! Those things that look like cats but they got these long beaky nose things.

I don't like my job at all, but I really do like my manager. He's a very nice guy and was really supportive when Tanya died. It's annual self-assessment time at work, and he's begged us to get them in early. He has to read each one and provide his own written evaluation for something like 75 or 80 people. That having been said, it's my least favorite job duty, and I always wait until the last minute. It isn't possible to write in company jargon until there's pressure on me. I was like this with English papers in high school. Tomorrow at 4 PM is the deadline, so I'll be hard at work this time tomorrow.

Cloudy and warm today. Supposed to be 70F this afternoon. Cold front overnight, and it will be in the upper 20s in time for my morning coffee tomorrow. Until today, we were forecast to get snow Friday night into Saturday, but that's apparently crapped out. This has been a disappointing winter in terms of snow.

I've decided I should learn a new scripting language. I've written in the bourne and bash shells, and that's it for *NIX. Over the years I've bought books on AWK and Perl but never gotten more than a couple of chapters in. Python seems like the hot language to learn and is supposed to be easy. I'm kind of leaning towards Perl. I like the book I have, and it's still a very useful language to know (AWK is antiquated). Now I just need a project (i.e. something to write in this new language). I've been thinking trying to write something that will scour websites and harvest analytics data for MLB games. That might be biting off more than I can chew though.

I had a lot to say this afternoon!

Rodeo night! REK!

For Gotham!

Skip the perl and do the python. Been using perl since larry wahl posted it on usenet and i downloaded with uucp an built it. The perl5 fiasco killed any potential longevity. Lots of what language will die this year articles have perl near the top.
Actually have made reasonable money converting projects i wrote in 90s 00s in perl to python its not the language its the ecosystem, python has it, perl missed it .
