First cold day of the year. -3°C
Got myself some cycling shoes for the winter:
Farmable! Location?
The next ~3 months i’ll be commuting in the dark. For the first time since February, the sun had already set when I got on my bike to ride home today.
Thanks to German engineers for a great little headlight:
It rained for 32 days straight here (not kidding). Last night it actually stopped, but now gets dark at ~4pm.
Northern Temperate rainforests man, not even once…
Sounds amazing.
Disclaimer: I spent 15 of those 32 rain days away from home, in better weather. I ‘rain goosed’ it right out to somewhere tropical, November is always pretty bad here. (edit: err, actually I was away for much of October, the rain has made me date drunk).
I remember a winter in Ohio we went something like mid November until February without seeing the sun. That feels normal to me. I sometimes think that Texas has given me reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. I see three straight months of cloudless sunshine and it feels horrifically unnatural.
I know exactly what you mean (after spending 10 years in Ohio before moving to Texas)…
Can we borrow some rain?
Yeah. This should be fun this afternoon and evening.
Man, I hope I get to stay home and not go flying tonight. Glad I’m the second crew out.
Retirement party for one of our guys…and watching the Army / Navy game (as an Army brat I was the only one rooting for Army)…
Bunch of A-6, A-4, E-6, P-3, T-6 pilots in attendance. Fun stuff…
But those Blue Angles jerseys…
It’s just been a really, really bad year for the Navy.
Hopefully that performance today caps it off.
