So the House is going to have an Impeachment vote.  I should be happy.  I should be excited.  Too bad the vichy fascist collaborators in the Senate will never convict.  They are already talking about coordinating the trial portion of the Impeachment process with the president’s legal team.  So much for checks and balances.  So much for the Constitution.  Maybe when all this is over we can fish it out of the toilet and try and clean the shit left over from the senate wiping it’s ass with it and hang it on the wall as a reminder of what we used to be.

Anyway, I have a splitting headache and here’s a random picture I took while stopped at a stop light in Foxborough (or possibly Mansfield) earlier today.

 

Note: I am feeling extra pissy tonight.  Don’t comment.  If you do I won’t read it.

Last night I went to bed really early and had one of the best nights sleep since I started keeping track of my sleep data.  More than seven hours with more than five hours of restful sleep and a heart rate dip of 21%.  Through the entire day I didn’t feel sleepy at all.  Now here we are 23 hours after I fell asleep last night and…

I am so tired.  I’m exhausted.

It was a busy day at work today.  I got a lot of stuff done, all managerial though not customer tasks.  It was a good day.  Overall it was a pretty good week.  It was a long freakin’ week, but it was a good one.

Now I think I am going to watch the new episode of The Mandalorian.  There are only a few episodes left, and we’re only a week away from Episode IX.

Its a pretty cool time to be alive and be a Star Wars fan… and to have a good night sleep.

Or something like that.

Not quite fast shutter speed…

 

Fast shutter speed…

 

Stupid trees getting in the way.

I tried to open a window to get a clearer shot and the noise scared them away. Sorry.

 

Testing my new iPhone’s three camera lenses during the intermission at the high school band concert.

First, the normal lens (aka 1x):

Second, the zoom lens (aka 2x)

Finally, the wide lens (aka .5x)

Yesterday and the day before saw temperatures in the mid to high 50’s and tons and tons of rain.  Almost all of the two feet of snow we got last week was gone gone and gone.  It was great.

When I got home from work last night it was 7:30 pm and the temperature was in the 50’s.  When my bladder woke me up at 2:30 am (TMI, sorry) it was 30 degrees out and snowing like mad.  If you’ve ever wondered what it was like living in New England, that’s as good a description as you’re going to get.

We got less than an inch of snow, but it was wet and heavy and really sticky.

Fulltone keeps making toys that I really want to play with.

I have nothing to talk about today.  Nothing at all.

Work is fine.  I’ve got a little project that I am chewing on, but nothing spectacular.  The band is off until January.  The Christmas decorations are (mostly) up and the shopping is moving along nicely.  The Bruins have sucked in their last couple of games but that’s just a blip on the radar (I hope).  Bellana is in the middle of her first finals week at UVM which means she’s coming home this weekend for semester break.  That is awesome, but still a few days away.  Harry’s school Christmas concert is tomorrow and that should be fun.  There are two articles of impeachment that will be voted on in committee soon, on Thursday I think?  While I hate the orange fascist piece of shit with all that I am, I know our vichy senate will acquit him so why get excited.  It is raining and the temperature is in the high 50s for the second day in a row.  The good side of that is that our two feet of snow is going bye bye.  The downside is our yard is now a swamp.  I’ll take the good side of that.  The rain gutter on the front of our house has a little hole in it and the combination of rain and snow melting off the roof means the water is bombing through that hole like a high pressure hose.  I have a pic that doesn’t really show anything except that I take pics of things:

Apple just put the new MacPro desktop computer onto their website for ordering.  If you max out all of the customizable specs they have available the price tag is something like $52,000.  That’s Fifty-two THOUSAND dollars.  I so want one.  Imagine how much faster I’d be able to process my horrid GarageBand files.  My current Apple computer is a MacBook Pro from 2016.  It was the first model with the touch bar in place of the F-function keys.  No escape button for Robbie!  We’re coming up on four years and it hasn’t really had any problems, but I’m starting to get nervous that the inevitable collapse is coming.  I might be in the market for a new MacBook soon.  I just got a new iPhone though, an iPhone 11 Pro Max which is a really, really long name.  I am in smart phone heaven right now.  I’ll wait until after the New Year to start thinking about a new Mac.  I’m good until then.  I have a book on my bookshelf at home that I have been trying to push my way through for years but will probably never finish.  It is a personal journal written by a doctor who fought for the colonists during the American Revolution.  The writing style is extremely 18th century and very hard to wrap your brain around.  One aspect of the style that is tough to deal with are the paragraph lengths.  Single paragraphs can stretch on for multiple pages.  Reading it is like trying to run a mile while holding your breath.  There’s just no opportunity to take a break.  This post has become my tribute to that doctor’s journal as I am trying to set my personal record for the longest paragraph ever.  I suppose I blew it with the picture in the middle.  Oh well.  I guess I’ll click Publish now.  Thank you.  Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

My step son and I did this yesterday.
