Need to go pick up dad in L.A., look at the route, start riding up the 5. I realize I only have a single seat on my bike, so I go back and get a car.

Sitting in the back of a concert? Look over and Joseph D is there.

At 30700, looking at an odd cable box in the backyard. It has a lot of cables coming out of the main fiber, but only 2 going into the box. I open the box to look in, and the neighbor comes over and threatens up-I figure he’s some sort of spy working for the government. I ignore him and close things up. He comes back over with some weird huge device that’s very light. We walk over and he’s using it to paint his house in black and white stripes-it just pours paint all over the house.

Driving across a bridge, it starts to crumble. I get out and start climbing across on the rubble. There are a few others doing to same. We get to the other side of the collapse and talk about what to do next. I start driving along another one and it collapses too. The car falls down onto a ledge.

At some gathering, go inside and my parents are there. I go to sit next but there’s no room.

Walking over to a show with a girl, we sit down near the stage. It’s 90’s alterna-girl singer pop. I zone out, and we leave. She says that wasn’t the right way to act, and I lose her in the crowd.

In a big meeting room-parliament. We’re on one side of the table, and some guys who look like celebrities on the other. I lean back and turn on my effects unit to effects, rather than distortion.Turn down the volume.

At my desk, have a pile of documents, the last one is bound and I realize it needs to go back to its owner. I try to call, but no, so I walk it back to his office. I go outside, and try to walk through a bunch of bushes with lots of spiders and webs. I go through carefully.

Driving in a big truck with Roger C. We try to park in a tight space, then go around. The cops are coming for him, so he gets out and runs into the woods. I wait for them and pull out my QY.

Out driving in the snow, have to swerve to avoid a car. Get stuck and the passenger seat is destroyed-try to get it back in and the guy says insurance will pay. M needs to sit down on it.

At a restaurant, look at the bill E is paying and it’s $600.

Will 2017 be better?

I have no idea. Celebrities will continue to die, politics will continue to be a shitshow. What could make it worse? Life will likely go on as usual.

I have this week off-I need the money, but that’s the way of Daimler. The house is pretty clean, but there are a few things I still need to do. And I didn’t-shopped with E, failed to get reservations at Timberline, S to bed late. So, no skiing today-likely Sunday. At least the house is cleaner.

Thurs., quiet, get C a new phone, shop, home. Ski Sunday-it’s going to snow Saturday night. Big fun there. Wedding drama is over-we’re not going.

So, went to bed @ 10:30, didn’t fall asleep until late, up at 6:15, left at 7:15 fully equipped. Got into the snow, put the chains on, super loose and failed very quickly. Luckily we were able to get on a bus and got up only a little late-S got into class, M didn’t, so I spent the morning teaching him-he picked it up right quick. Got S, ate, spent the afternoon teaching S and M went off on his own and promptly got into the weeds. I put S in kids, rushed over, didn’t find him, back up, got S, M turned up. Returned everything, waited for the bus for 2 hours, stuck, then bad traffic, got the car, drove through a blizzard but the roads were fine, picked up E and C, home, S to bed. Whew! Good skiing, the rest, a big mix of good and bad…I wish it had worked out more smoothly-I didn’t get much skiing in .

Monday-lazy, went to Oaks Park and skated in the afternoon-some expert told me what to do-I told him I had been skating since I was 9-I don’t need his help. Home, bed, up and working at home Tues.-E and S to Great Wolf Lodge-S has a temp, but she seems OK-and she had a great time. And of course, then I got the same temp. Bad all through Tues and Weds., back to work Thurs., still sick. Home, lazy, sleep, same on Fri., ice storm and snow Sat. & Sun.-still not 100% and didn’t do much around the house-just sat in bed clothes.

Up Monday-school is closed, but Clackamas CC is open, so M has to go to classes (the prof canceled).
