10th Day of January

Captured Effortlessly     That's The Way It Was     Happened So Naturally    I Did Not Know It Was Love   The Next Thing I Felt Was You    Holding Me Close    What Was I Gonna Do   I Let Myself Go    And Now We're Flying Through The Stars    I Hope This Night Will Last Forever    I've Been Waiting For You It's Been So Long      I Knew Just What I Would Do     When I Heard Your Song     Filled My Heart With Your Bliss      Gave Me Freedom     You Knew I Could Not Resist     I Need Someone    Ani't Nobody   Love Me Better     Makes Me Happy     Makes Me Feel This Way    Ani't Nobody    Loves Me Better Than You

Stompin' at the Savoy 1983 


Today was full speed ahead. I only anticipated working two jobs but ended up working three separate locations today. Nothing major or out of the ordinary. Just Problem Solving


Maneuvered a sweet walk during the halftime of the TexA$$ vs Buckeye game. We only hit 37F / 2.7C for our high temperature so I was caught off guard during this walk. I was way overdressed for it. I expected the air to steal my breath as I stepped into the elements but not the case. The cloud cover is clearly insulating the radiating heat. Not Bad 


So we have all made it through the first 10 days of January. It's far from over but made it this far. Fingers crossed , Sunday will be my first day off of 2025. Maybe Yes , Maybe No 

Cheers

Nena 1983

While I was on the commuter bike near downtown GJ , balloons from a local car dealership broke free and floated up into the perfectly bluebird skies above. Unfortunately , this damn song landed in my head like an old engram playing over and over and over. It wasn't until I was about halfway through a session with a client that I was able to finally break that loop. Not a bad song but hours later it became daunting to say the least. Click 

Today went well. No flash and dash. Early morning wrenching on a treadmill. No biggie. Afternoon ride into the headwind BOTH ways of course. My presentation regarding pool chemicals , filter back flushing procedures , and overall basic problem solving was well received this afternoon. My only real concern is that the front desk folks are experiencing the highest turnover position at the club. So I wonder if I will be hosting another talk in 6 month or so. Until that bridge , will happily remain on call. Yippee 

Wrapped up the evening here in the office. Both clients were visiting with standard issues and goals of relieving stress and low back issues. Our low for this evening is forecasted for 14F / -10C which means I am not all fired up for jumping on the bike at this time. Strava sent me a notice via email that I am no longer top dog of this section anymore. It Is What It Is 

Keep Looking Up ,

Cheers

Bluebird Day Here In Colorado

I'm Alone     Sitting With My Empty Glass    My Four Walls     Follow Me Through My Past    I Was On A Train    I Emerged In London Rain      And You Were Waiting There    Swimming Through Apologies     I Remember Searching For The Perfect Words     I Was Hoping You Might Change Your Mind    I Remember A Soldier Sleeping Next To Me     Riding On The Metro 


Berlin

Pleasure Victim 1982  

Today was a full day in the office with a couple of short errands on the bike. The temperature hovered around freezing all day but plenty of sunshine. Overall , I would rate this day as a B+. One of my clients was rather thoughtful and baked homemade cookies for me. I just didn't have the heart to explain that they were made with cow butter or enriched flower. Still , extremely thankful and projected gratitude while accepting the whole ziplock bag. Yikes 


Think Snow Please ,

One Week Into The New Year , Already

One , Two , There , Four , Five , Six     Whoa Oh    I Don't Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life    Looking At The Barrel Of An Armalite    I Don't Want To Spend The Rets Of My Days    Keeping Out Of Trouble Like The Soldiers Say     I Don't Want To Spend My Time In Hell    Looking At The Walls Of A Prison Cell    I Don't Want To Play The Part     Of The Statistic On A Government Chart    There Has To Be An Invisible Sun     It Gives Its Heat To Everyone    There Has To Be An Invisible Sun    That Gives Us Hope When The Whole Day's Done 


The Police

Ghost in the Machine 1981

Stumbled across this pad tonight. Not sure why this attached my attention. Wish there was a blanket of soft fresh snow for a proper accent of holidaze cheer. But still , kinda cool for a week into January. Do any of you feel that there is a recommended date as to when lights are no longer ??


Have A Delightful Hump Day My Friends ,

Cheers

So little to report and so much time to do so. Strike That , Reverse It. 

Long Live Gene Wilder!! 


It is late now and this sleepy head is about to squeeze the soft cool pillow here soon. Throughly enjoying the commuter bike as GJ has zero snow accumulation and nothing in the forecast as of yet. 

Stay Beautiful,

Window Shopping

I Am The Son    And The Heir   Of A Shyness That Is Criminally Vulgar   I Am The Heir   Of Nothing In Particular    You Shut Your Mouth    How Can You Say     I Go About Things The Wrong Way    I Am Human And I Need To Be Loved     Just Like Everybody Else Does 


The Smiths 

Hatful Of Hollow 1984 

This morning started off beautifully because the Last Man Standing League is in the books. Feeling free from despair and agonizing over whom or home team advantages or QB changes or weather related infractions or how I can not stand such in such team. Don't get me wrong here , I enjoy placing an added weight on my shoulders but today the NFL is purely entertainment. Yahooo00000000


As for more good news , today's daylight was 56 seconds longer than the pervious day. Sexy 

Walk With Love ,

I Will Melt With You

Moving Forward Using All My Breath     Making Love To You Was Never Second Best    I Saw The World Thrashing All Around Your Face     Never Really Knowing It Was Always Mesh And Lace    I'll Stop The World And Melt With You    You've Seen The Difference And It Is Getting Better All The Time   There's Nothing Stopping You And I Wont Do     I'll Stop The World And Melt With You 


Modern English 

After The Show 1982


Pretty simple day today. Did shoot a unique time lapse while washing windows. As you can see from the photo above , he is waiting to press his wet nose against the freshly cleaned glass. It's what dogs love to do , make impressions. Mother Nature moved a front through the valley but we are way too warm for any precipitation. Sucks 

Until Tomorrow , Stay Groovy Kids ,
