Best thing about Sandia's winter shutdown? I took off 2 whole weeks without touching a work device and I only have 145 unread emails (and most of those I suspect are automated junk).

Inspired by the light ride with my kiddo yesterday, I went for a ride myself today; first time in years. I must say, much slower than last time I rode this route. 42 (and some extra lbs) hits harder than I'd like to admit sometimes. The downhill is still fun though 😀

Good start to the year with a leisurely bike ride with my 8. His first ride with any real climb (~300 ft) and dealing with intersections on Tramway safely.

Ezee fiber installing fiber in our network. Fun to watch the equipment tearing up the neighborhood on break. Super excited to finally give the finger to Comcast in the coming weeks.

Am I on holiday break? Or am I working Monday? What do you think? A boulevardier and catching up on SNL should help me decide.

Spent the weekend staffing a BALOO training for Cub Scouts. Beautiful, but chilly, night out in the stars with some nice fall colors.
