What are you doing right now?

Waking up. Been too nice being on vacation and sleeping till 8 or so, not dark out when I get up. Need to collect trash and make a run to the transfer station, surf CL for stuff that I think I need, think about what to actually do with the day.

Restarted my resolutions and will have to figure out when to do a workout and other various resolutions. Rather sit back and have coffee instead, that all can wait until after second cup I think.

Just got back from our little day trip adventure to North Carolina. Just nice to get away sometimes. Man I’m tired. Drinking a Mtn Dew from the gas station and relaxing before bed. Not normal for us to be in this early lol except on day trip days.

Typing on my phone.

I'm eating Trader Joe's Chocolate Hazelnut cookies which are fluffing delicious. Don't rat me out to the guys in the Food forums or I won't ever hear the end of it. I also just had a doppelbock which brought on the munchies in the first place.

Just finished dayshift. Staying up late as night shift start tomorrow.

Wife has a movie she wants to see, I forget the name. I’ll likely zone out through it, put her to bed & go have a cigar

Fished breakfast, need to clean up the gridle. Did a bit of journaling, bit sad that my vacation is soon coming to an end, wondering about how to carry myself through the new year. Wondering if I want to go to church (no but I ought to), thinking what I’ll do with my day—last night I started soldering up an audio filter, using perfboard, then realized, I don’t enjoy this, I’d rather design a circuit board instead, way less work. Just more costly.

Oh look, the sun is coming out, after what was about 2 weeks of rain. And the temperature is below freezing, which is good and bad, means winter might actually start?

Getting tools together to put rotors on sister and brother in laws van today. Also going to the Ace Hardware for the 50% off New Years sale. Going to try out a few steak seasonings and bbq sauces from there since they have mostly local products. Might get a tool if I see anything I need too.

I'm vacillating between the Smoke'n Burger and Bacon-Wrapped Scallops. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Eating Chinese food. I told my parents that I wanted my last meal of 2023 to be Chinese food lol. They were a bit resistant but finally agreed because a lot of places were closing early. We are also deciding what drinks we want tonight we have Sake, tequila, rum, whiskey, vodka, cream liqueur and beer lol. I’m voting tequila to start the new year right but open to any of it.

You gotta add wine and bubbly. Always have the beer before the wine.

I’m not a big fan of wine. Never tried a good one lol. All of it to me taste like rotten grapes.

I am so thankful I'm not a slave to alcohol instead of just thinking I am not.

We are watching the New Years program. Think I’m gonna do tequila and 7 up on the rocks. Want to do a DB Cooper special kinda with bourbon and 7 on the rocks but I ain’t got bourbon. We just got back from the gas station. We were going to get orange juice but they were all out so 7 UP that I bought last weekend will do.

Watching Titanic with the family. Better than being out at some yap fest.

Asked the wife about this, she voted “family reunion”. She hated that movie… but then qualified, only if it was immediate family.

She might have then implied that extended family reunions, watching Titanic and giving birth as all being around the same level of enjoyment.

In the shop truing up my drill press while everyone sleeps.

Waiting on pops to get around. So watching toolbox tours on YouTube to kill time lol. I love watching tool and car videos. Glad to be a paid holiday today.
