Point well taken

I am good at waddling

Ran a 15k this morning and now have weekend work Zooms. In between, cleaning up the Elm seeds in the backyard!

Grommie, I was never a track person - played rugby for about 15 years. The running comes from my time in the forces. Quick the smoking, kept the running ... well more like waddling

Going to head for a long run today, likely half-marathon distance. Then hang with peeps around the firepit this evening. Of, and finish the most recent Planetary Report! https://www.planetary.org/planetary-report

Currently -40c in the Canadian prairies ... so reading and more reading occurring as we await a thaw on the Roost

During my morning's 15k, I had the luxury of running into a 60 km headwind what left me with the sense of being stuck and going no where on a treadmill ...

Love this LC!

I am building a glacier in the Roost owing to over 2' of snow ...

Just preparing for the snowpocalypse ...

In the last week I have had to do two fresh W10 OS clean installs. The first was owing to what I thought was a very corrupt driver install that knackered too many subsystems. Then it turns out it was the integrated discreet video card on my Alienware M15. That doesn't happen everyday! Now a new mobo and OS install ... back to game!

I believe that what Gromie means, in all of the text cited, is what a gift it is to welcome @Aarik D back ... It is exciting to know that this rich Obsidian community does and continues to be enriched by such care and presence as people such as our trolls, Squad and Devs! Welcome home, Aarik: we missed you!

Thanks! I have not heard of Psych - I will look into that too, perhaps, after done with Monk.

One Life to Live ... and marking the anniversary of nuptials with Ms. Green Dragon by hanging at a spa for the weekend!

Watching Monk with my partner. Currently at Season 6. Totally missed this when it first aired as we had cut able ties and were ordering DVDs to watch show prior to Streaming!

Does this mean you have been able to address this?

I began my day with my usual 06:00 waddle (aka run) to the gym on sheer ice ... we'll see what that portends as the day unfolds ...

I have found this recent National Geographic exploration has allowed me to (re)connect to the romanticism of youth and dinosaurs with a sense of joy! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2020/10/reimagining-dinosaurs-prehistoric-icons-get-a-modern-reboot-interactive-feature/

Thanks for the endurance, laughs and contribution. Building community here is important to me. I hope you and others continue to find that this is a place that offers such space!

Thanks, @majestic - I will check-in once I am further into the show. I usually only am able to watch a few episodes a week. Once I am through Season 1 - I will share some further thoughts.

Can you PM me the right email as you have time, please?

Thanks, Majestic. The first two episodes have me hooked enough to want to watch further. The narrative is sound and the storytelling is very 'Canadian.' That's a literary reference from my context, which may connect with your 'drag on.' This is one of the reason I appreciate Prime's TV over Netflix. Both have merit, but often in the Netflix context narrative or substance seems sacrificed for volume of production: if that makes sense?

I have had I have experienced the race car metaphor in this regard ... getting under the hood helps. Do it, lest when stuff gets gummed up, it's too late. Wasn't all that comforting in my experience, but it was, nonetheless, effective fwiiw!

I'm looking forward to see what they do with season 3 of STD. I have also heard that season 4 has already been greenlit, which is hopeful and interesting. https://trekmovie.com/2020/10/16/breaking-star-trek-discovery-renewed-for-season-4-production-starts-in-november/
