Happy New Year
How has 2019 begun? I awoke at 4am ready to tackle the day but convinced myself to rest some more. So, at 10am I roll out of bed. This is not a good sign.

2019
To overshare or to fall off the grid?
Great success or enormous failure?
One way or another, this year is going to be vastly different than years past.

True nobility is being superior to your former self
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

My weekend?
Decided on a trip to the VA Creeper. Planned a scout meeting. Flooded a house. Cleaned a house. Flooded it again. Programmed. Replaced two shutoff valves with ball valves. Continued my pursuit to learn how to grow food inside. Documented issues for a client. Hung out with a dozen, half-naked cool people. Played with fire. Knocked holes in the drywall. Gutted a fandangled washing machine. Visited Home Depot 3 times and Lowe’s once. Made my first ever Aldi purchase. Dwelt with some personal politics. Read a book with my son. Programmed some more. Killed a hornets’ nest. Balanced books. Created invoices. And cooked meals for a week.
Typical.
