Man it's been a long day. I've been working 12 hour days for a little over two weeks now, and I think I'm ready for a break. The end of the week is nigh, my brothers. I'm gonna work the obligatory 8 tomorrow, stop off on the way home and knock back a couple, then pick up an 18 pack of Bud and settle in for a long winter's evening. Very much looking forward to the week's end.

The snow is lightly falling here in Western New York, and we are getting off real fuggin' easy this year. The temp never really dipped much below 40 for any kind of stretch in January and I've had the snowblower out of the barn exactly once this season. But it looks like a second visit will likely be forthcoming in the next 48 hours or so. That'll be a nice Saturday afternoon project. Light up a cigar, fire up the Toro, and throw some snow around. This weekend is gonna be sweet. Maybe fire up the memorial Jerry Ostroski burn barrel out back. I've got two boxes full of "sensitive" documents from work that need to be destroyed. 7000 pages just waiting to feed the Fire God. Maybe I can talk 'em into giving me some more over time. Huzzah!

Well, I just scored "Serenity" from Netflix after sending my Alain Delon films back, so I think I'll pop that thing and crash on the couch. I'll be checking in again soon.
