Made our way up to Maine, last trip of the year before we close our condo down.  My son and his girlfriend spent over a week up here.  After COVID restrictions at school, and then not co-mingling once they got home, it was a great break for them.  Time together/alone, very little to do.  Was happy they got that time.

Stopped at one of Maine's more famous lighthouses on the way up, Nubble.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Survived Whamageddon2020!  

Went shopping (ran out of paper towels the night before we are doing a "nacho bar" for Satanmas dinner. No bueno.

Realized I wanted to cook for the first time in months, so I was looking for things to do for breakfast in the morning. Fucking place sold out of biscuits.

I bet Colin went and bought them all; that bastard.

But 3 pounds of meat, 18 eggs, multiple pounds of cheese (for variety, probably) and a bunch of tortillas means some possibly amazing breakfast burritos. Looking forrward to it! (Still, though... dammit, Colin! @ biscuit dearth.)

@MexicanDragon Can you really be trusted with a Satanmass Biscuit Fiesta in this of all years?

I don't think any of us want to find out.

Probably for the best on Christmas morning. 😉

At least I now know you weren't responsible for Nashville.

I suspect Nashville was Brent's residual karma.

I heard the RV said something about there being no biscuits so everyone should evacuate 15 minutes before the explosion.

So I didn't even know what the Nashville thing was for hours. Guess I didn't hear the news from the locals b/c their internet was out, so they just went and spent  time with their families. Now they're all going to get COVID, prolly. #ThanksObama

Who the F buys biscuits when they are already planning to cook?  No wonder your biscuit karma sucks, man. 

The Bay Area moon was really something last night with its halo of ice crystals in the atmosphere. This pic is from the front porch in Mayberry.

But lots of them do wear gimp suits.

Nice change of scenery. Last year we had brushfire smoke blocking the view, today we have this. Hard to believe we are in the Los Angeles suburbs.

In order to take my mind off of SARS-COV2 I analyzed 50 years of radiocesium body burdens from over 40000 white-tailed deer from the SRS. It worked.

I'm gonna take your word for that. Congrat!

Due to COVID quarantine I am about finished with my Netflix, HULU, Amazon Video and HBO watch list so I am volunteering to assist you with your research. I am pretty good at counting now.

Sorry for the oversharing, not looking for sympathy, but stop reading if "Dusty oversharing" might offend you. I started the year by puking my guts out.  I think it was food poisoning, but I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary -- just my usual goulash, black bean noodles, wine.  Earlier I had a turkey, jalapeno, plant-based-cheese, and bread sandwich, with a couple Grillo's Pickles spears -- all things I've had before.  I think it was the wine, but it didn't taste off.  That should speak to how bad my palate is.

So I had some bread, rice noodles and tea yesterday, and I'm feeling ~91% better, going to continue to take it easy today.  Might go out and get some saltines.

And just for the record, I did take my temperature, and did not have a fever, so I doubt it's The Covid.

Hope you get to 100% soon!  Sometimes my stomach/system just reacts differently on different days, to the same thing I've had many times before.....hope it's nothing worse than that.

It doesn't sound much like Covid, Dusty. Get well soon.
