plumbers crack shrinks up in cold weatherWell, the plumber won't have to worry about getting dripped on...
Somebody (a specific pathologically-dishonest immediate neighbor who can't stay out of trouble, most likely, IMO) stole my $600 bicycle from under my carport after December 8 and before yesterday morning. How do I know it was after Dec 8? Because I checked my quad copter videos, and sure enough, there it is under my carport on the 8th. My fancy-shmancy 5 gallon gas can is gone too. That really sucks, but I'm grateful to have enough good things going on not to be totally obsessed about it. Obsessed, yes, but overly obsessed, no.
For three years, I've had two Kryptolocs that I bought on Amazon sitting in my house, unused. My intent was to keep both my bike and my scooter chained up, but I wasn't done procrastinating until the bike was stolen. Tomorrow, UPS will deliver a security camera system with which I can hopefully catch the lousy SOB next time. One of the Kryptolocs now cables my scooter to one of carport posts. Stealing my scooter will now require muscle, tools and time.
So why am I not overly obsessed? Well:
I don't do much, but these days I don't get as worn out when I do something as I yewsta get. My poor back, which I broke in a single-vehicle DWI 4 years ago, has even been cuttin' me a break when I do some very mild labor.
A coupla times this month I've gotten up to do something and ended up doing more than I'd planned to do, without getting totally worn out and without paying a price in pain. It's wonderfully surprising!
For the first time in 7 months, my joose supply was running low enough that I needed to mix up a batch day before yesterday. I've been at 18 mg/ml nic for a long time now, and made this at 16 mg/ml. I'm vaping noticeably more with the slightly lower nic but I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
Coffee: for no known reason, and without intent, I'd only had maybe 10 cups of coffee in the past 6 months, all of which were obtained when I was travelling. That changed too, a few days ago, and I've apparently resumed my previous gargantuan consumption of my own home-roasted coffee, which is the best coffee in this solar system. I need to roast another pound today because I don't have enough already roasted for the next pot. I ought to do a roastathon for Xmas-giving porpoises... I might.
Thank you vaping!

You are showing a greater restraint than I would. I'd be doing a midnight recon and if I saw the bike I would be knocking on their door with a baseball bat.
