Must be mating season for Great Horned Owls. They have been waking me up every night lately.
Heh, that reminded me. When I lived in downtown SJ there were a few early mornings when I'd go out for a drive or something. My neighborhood had a family of like six raccoons and I'd also see them just dive right into the storm drains. Was surprised they could even fit.

I know most people in tech feel the opposite but I miss working out of an office. Even just two or three days a week would be better. Home is just way too comfortable, plus it's easy to be distracted by the dog or other stuff.

Sometimes I go work from one of the city libraries but I'm on call for work this week so I can't really do that in case I need to hop on an urgent call, otherwise I'd have gone to the library today.

No. Fridays are toughest for me since I am usually running out of steam by then.

what if I told you I feel the same on Fridays, and the most productive days of the week for me on Tues/Wed/Thurs assuming my meetings don't take forever and I can work from the library?

Usually it's either Friday or Monday. For me it depends on what I am anticipating that Wednesday to be like.

I'm going to raise the 911 for 13qt. oil service, brake fluid service, and front wheel bearings, and transaxle service.

Then the Lotus for oil filter, and new oil sandwich plate, and quick drain valves on both engine and drivetrain. I feel good about the quick valve thingies on this car because they are both way up above the bottom panels.

Then the twin for door window fixing, backup light switch, fluid change in supercharger, and oil change.

I hope my body is up to the challenge.
