Daily things 5️⃣ Three Things Thursday

1. New driver shaft arrived today and I can actually play golf in Northern Utah, in January.
2. Wife's package via USPS I posted about earlier in another thread that a one point was a few miles from our house, is back in NJ.
3. No idea what to make for dinner - will check the freezer.
 
  1. Six public records requests came in yesterday, so I will be busy with those.

  2. I haven’t climbed stairs in a long time, since I am not working in the 17 story tower anymore. Thinking I should repurpose the stairs to the dark, scary basement in our building for a few minutes every day as a makeshift workout.

  3. A quiet weekend planned except for taking one of the birds to the vet.
 
1. I don't eat pretzels in Chex mix. I'm happy to put them in a Ziplok bag and mail them to someone.

2. I listened to Beach Boys Endless Summer. It didn't give me enough summer vibes to counteract winter.

3. All Summer Long is my favorite Beach Boys song.
 
1. Son (19) leaving for a job interview at a car dealership (in the shop) and he is wearing a BRCC graphic t-shirt.
2. I said the wrong attire for a job interview, regardless of the location.
3. I evidently don't know what I'm taking about.
 
1. We had a strategic planning retreat all day yesterday and it was surprisingly fruitful.
2. I've had some opportunities present themselves to me recently but I'm 49 weeks from being vested and quite frankly, that's a big chunk of change to leave on the table when retirement planning is in your thoughts. Talk to me again in 2027 and I may be a lot more receptive.
3. Could actually get measurable snow this weekend. Not happy. At all.
 
1) @kms Beach Boys music brings back good memories for me as a kid. When we were little, my mom would need to work evenings on weekends so my dad would put a record on and he, my sister, and I would listen to that as we cleaned the house. Although an impromptu dance party would almost always break out and my dad would wait until the end of the song before asking us to get back to work.

2) The weather as really F-ed up things down here. Today is day 4 of 'remote working if you can' as all City Facilities are closed, but I am in the office.

3) One of my coworkers pointed out that I am either in a suit or I am in jeans and a ball cap... there is no in between.
 
1. Back from a work trip in L.A.. The weather was nice, when I ventured from the hotel.

2. My folks are flying in from Denver right now. First trip since I moved into my new place.

3. My office really needs to get their processes organized.
 
1) Feels like a Tuesday, as it's the second day of work this icy week.

2) No big plans this weekend. Will be freezing cold again, but they say not as icy.

3) Figured out something today that had been stumping me. I feel smart!!
