One that is probably misleading is that Jimmy Carter bulk pardoned all of the Vietnam draft dodgers (200,000), so he probably has the win.

From my ruck around 6am this morning: The Jeep's dash says 34, but it is warmer and protected in the woods. Out in the open, wind is a little blustery from NNW. Now to look forward to the outdoor shower where the shampoo is chilled enough to have the viscosity of a thanksgiving jello mold that sat on the table overnight to get nice and stale.

Normally red sky at night is sailors delight. But I think we are getting ready for some weather. Be prepared. 
I wrote some code that is now pulling in USCG buoy 8654467 temperature data into my sensor database to compare against my sensor data that I built and put out on our property. I am surprised that my water temp sensor is only a few degrees off. But something is unusual in that just after 4am, they diverged. The USCG sensor got warmer while mine got colder. The only thing I can think is that the wind picked up and started coming out of the south. We will get water coming into our creek from a south wind. But maybe buoy 8654467 is a bit more sheltered.

My wife got me some paint brushes for Christmas to replace the old ones that came with some Tester's paint from the 70's during my model making times. I needed something for painting 3d prints and other things. So, I modeled a brush holder for my 3d printer. I know, I could have bought some cheap Chinese thing off of Amazon for a few bucks instead of spending hours modeling and printing one of my own. But whats the fun in that?

Thats why I keep a notepad in the bathroom. Never know when a good idea will plop out.
Basically, life needs a stool softener like nostr to help get you out of the hardened shit.
What you cant see here is the slick sheen of frost on the walkway. I was huffing it around a 16 minute mile with 70+ pounds on my back and exited the woods at full steam and almost slid on my butt when I hit the frost on the decking. NW wind rather light. Nice crisp morning. I dont like the cold, but if it is going to be cold, today is a nice day for it.

Interesting, China suspected of cutting under sea communications cables. And they happen to have patents on systems to do just that 🙂

I field tested my new BTech UV-PRO for APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) tracking this morning during my ruck in the woods. The UV-PRO can be connected to via bluetooth and the KISS protocol. No, KISS is not the glam rock band with fuzzy hair, high healed boots, blood, fire, and makeup. But KISS is a protocol and stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. I used APRSDroid on my phone that runs Graphene OS. There are some places in the woods that the radio couldn't reach the APRS repeater. But overall, it worked quite well.

Still below freezing. Wind chill making it colder. Wind out of the NW. But sheltered in the woods for a ruck.

Interesting article about the current California fires and how there is more than climate change involved. And that these fires have been going on for millennia.
Yeah, we dont normally get this cold. winter stays in the 50's at the low. If the wind wasnt so crazy, I would probably have gone out surfing. But, not in 30mph+ winds 🤣
Air temp vs. water temp (in the Pamlico Sound, Hatteras Island, NC) over the last 7 days.

Not out without my wetsuit 🤣 But the wind is blowing so hard, I will be down the coast in no time flat.
