At 5:02 this morning, Cayman time, the sun began its journey back to the tropic of Cancer after reaching its southernmost point on the Tropic of Capricorn. The first day of winter for the northern half of this planet. Below is something I knew, and something I didn’t know:

Also on the way back is my wife, who will arrive home from Costa Rica tomorrow, and begin two weeks quarantine in our apartment.

Not on the way back is me, who is on holiday until next year.

So have an easy winter, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, and enjoy the longer days coming.

Last night I watched a movie that I thought was good. Edge Of Tomorrow. It was like Groundhog Day meets The Matrix. (The “Edge” machine monsters reminded me of the Sentinels in The Matrix)

A good plot with plenty of action, shooting, and blowing stuff up. Definitely worth a watch.

Yesterday, I was running late. I didn’t even have time for coffee or posting. By the time I got dressed, it was time to go.

Now it’s Friday, and it’s my last workday of 2020! Commence vacation at home!

It awes me in a bad way that nothing ever goes as planned, nothing is ever easy.

I bought a dozen 18×18 pavers to make a back porch for the downstairs. Lay ’em down, level ’em off, done in an hour. That was the plan. This is the beginning of the third day…

If you look at the picture above, you can tell they’re not all the same size. The six in the middle are seventeen inches and the left three and right three are seventeen and a half. Maybe it’s normal that none of.my 18 inch tiles are 18 inches, but at least they could all be the same size.

Which six do I take back? Biguns or littleuns? I’m sure whichever I pick will be the wrong ones, might as well take ’em all.

In a week, the wife will be back, quarantining downstairs. Hopefully with a little porch she can get some sun and fresh air on.

Have a good Wednesday!

I’m running late late late. Time to head out the door.

Had weird dreams last night, didn’t sleep well.

Water heater quit heating. It was working yesterday morning but not last evening.

Have a good day!

Once, many many years ago, on a blog, I saw a picture of a runned-over soda can on the street. I thought, “how cool and artsy, whoda ever thunk to take a picture of a smooshed soda can?” So below is.my attempt at cool, artsy street photos:

Aren’t I cool now? Are you awed by my artistic eye? Maybe these should be in a museum.

Have a great week!

It’s so cold here, with the doors and windows open, the tile floor is so cold, I need to wear flip flops to keep comfortable feet.

First night of Hanukkah was last night, I went to the JCC for the candle lighting, but it wasn’t there, it was at the mall. I went to the mall and there was no parking, so I came home.

Looking forward to the weekend. I just wanna sleep.

See Ya!

Apparently, someone is putting out poison for dogs in areas that include where I walk Lenny and Daisy. Also putting it in people’s yards and one dog got poisoned while on the leash walking.

What assholes it must take to poison randomly. Who can possibly have so much hate and be so evil?

So yesterday and this morning it was “Yard Walks”. Crazy Daisy Dukes and Lenny couldn’t understand it. They were rarin’ to go, over the horizon, like every morning. I was telling them “No Pulling” while dragging them to the left, away from the gate to temporary leashed freedom.

Today is my work Christmas Party. I wasn’t too popular when I recommended we cancel it at a staff meeting, due to an extreme reduction in airport revenue. So instead of a fancy restaurant, we’re having a lunch in the board room. That ought save a little money.

Still cold here, but the clouds are breaking up. Hope for a sunny weekend!

Day before yesterday, Dec 7th, my Father In Law died. (Technically my stepfather in law.) Night before last we booked my wife’s ticket to fly home. Yesterday morning she left.

I got along good with my father in law. There will be big changes in the family. His wife won’t be able to maintain the big house and property.

The wife plans on coming back the 27th. Add two weeks quarantine, it will be 2021 before I am with her again. Hopefully she will quarantine in our apartment, and we can gaze longingly at each other from a social 6 feet.

Talk to you tomorrow!

It seems like a long time ago, looking at my previous post. It’s Monday. I guess I didn’t post Friday because of going to work early.

The FOD Walk was fun. I got to walk on our new runway.

Friday also there was a “graduation” ceremony for that training class I hated so bad. I got a trophy for high scores in my final paper.

it was a good weekend too. I fixed the outdoor electrical outlets and helped the wife put up strings of red lights for some reason this time of year.

Sunday went diving, ther was a super strong current. We swam out to the deep wall and there seemed to be no current at all, then when we got to the bottom it was rippin’! Then we had a hard swim across the sand flats back.

I had a headache the rest of the day, either from exertion while breathing tanked air or because I didn’t drink any coffee at all yesterday morning. Probably the former.

Th garbage.man came this morning and apparently he took out garbage can. I went to get it from the street and it’s gone… Simply disappeared.

Hope this week disappears fast. They’ve been slow lately.

Have a goodun!

Last night we went to our first Christmas Party of the season. It was quite nice. The one at my wife’s workout place, Fitness Connection. As always it was super nice. Tonight is her work Christmas party.

Also last night, we went to the opening of an art exhibit at the National Gallery. It was quite cool.

The wife and I really liked.the hermit crabs.

And today I’m going into work early for a FOD walk, where we walk around the runway and pick up garbage. Then they feed us!

Have a great weekend!
