Happy Groundhog Day y'all. Sing the groundhog song with me, best rendered in your worst Bob Dylan impersonation:

I'm small

I'm brown

I hog

The ground

I never send out holiday greetings, but maybe this year I'll send a few groundhog day greetings- seems appropriate given how often I'm saying "what, this again?" lately.

Well here we are, on our way. I always expected a nicer hand basket, or at least more interesting.

Remember to be kind to at least two people today if you can.

One of the folks you need to be kind to is you.

I love how Monday mornings are still Monday Fucking Mornings, even after retirement.

No, wait, that's loathe, not love.

Woo, power is back, was out for 15 hours. I was used to power failures in the cold up north, but this is a first.

Snow and ice covering everything, some branches down, power out since 1:45, transformers were popping like fireworks overnight. Time to move another thousand miles south, I guess.

We have a Winter Storm Watch for Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Freeze watches and warnings every night.

I am in south coastal Georgia.

I could use that fire from the "this is fine" gif about now.

Channeling the late Smokey Yunick today. When asked "Smokey, when you look under the hood of one of these new computer-controlled cars, what do you think?"

"I think it makes me want to puke," he said.

On the bench today, a Borg-Warner T-5 transmission and Dana 300 transfer case get reinspected, then new seals and gaskets.

That 300 is one heavy mofo, not looking forward to tossing that beast around.

I just realized that with Shmoocon coming to an end, I may never again have to visit the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Washington DC. What a delightful thought.

My dearest Florida, you know how you feel when you see northern drivers in Florida, driving around like the dopey fuckers they are? Well, that’s the way the entire rest of the world feels when we see you driving outside of Florida. So, please either learn how to drive, or stay home and play with your swamp puppies, or head into the Everglades and help Garrett yoink pythons.

Love

Jack
