The goings on

Ah...I sit here, nice and warm, on the couch. It's my day off and I have the motivation of a slug. Well, maybe slugs are motivated but just frustrated at the lack of mobility

Anyway... there are things I "should" do, and things that I "Want" to do. Grocery shopping, returning leftover car parts, and other errands make up the 'should.'

Going back up the side of Mt. Tom with my GPS falls under the "want" category. Unfortunately I do not have time to do them all, so I will instead sit here and complain. Oh, and I'll watch the third cycle of the same NECN news stories.

Speaking of news, what is up with the Boston FD? A vet firefighter was recently killed when his brakes failed on the truck due to (presumably) lack of maintenance. A subsequent investigation has turned up that the firefighters themselves are expected to perform light repairs. In addition, no preventative maintenance is performed on the vehicles. What??

Ok these public service guys have enough on their plates as it is, yet we can't give them a safe ride? What the hell is wrong with that picture? Yeesh. Those guys and gals put their lives on the line, no questions asked, every day. Now they have to worry about the trucks too?

Ick, my coffee is getting cold. It's in the in-between period where it is luke-warm. I like it either stone cold or piping hot. Yet I do not believe I will get up and put it in the microwave. What I should really be doing is warming up my car.

Oh, and for all the beaker fans, he is doing well.

Until the next post, enjoy some pics of the ice climbing mecca of Mt. Tom. It's not really known to people who don't climb because to get there you have to be crazy. No, I do not ice-climb (although it looks interesting), but I do qualify as crazy. I also know the mountain like the back of my hand so I am pleasantly surprised to have found the location.
