Expressionism / Paul Klee/ Miraculous Landing

I do struggle a little with season changes.  I tend to sleep more than strictly necessary, I put off tasks more than usual.  I can’t really say why this occurs, at this point it has devolved into a data point that I deal with rather than a problem to be solved.

I do have to spend a bit of time in the none too distant future doing the winter prep thing.  After living in the Northwest for 32 years now, I have finally made the commitment of purchasing a dedicated rain jacket.  I have always just gotten wet and dried off.  This kind of thing is kind of a harbinger of my activities in the near near future.  As I won’t be making excess money anymore, things need to be in place to allow me to shelter in place during the upcoming storms.

So in the next couple of weeks I need to sit down with a glass of whiskey and ponder the current running stock in the apartment.  Some additions, some subtractions.  I am thinking that the aforementioned inventory/tuneup will need to focus on ease of maintenance and simplicity.

rain gear

[chefxh]

I bought a bright mustardy yellow rain jacket from The North Face after I mistakenly left the blue Columbia one at my nephew's house over the summer and forgot.

Gotta have rain gear for the bike, but each of these pricey brands (bought on sale, of course) has issues. Columbia's zipper jams. The North Face's lining gets clammy. Both hoods are okay over the bike helmet but too long otherwise. On foot I prefer my old poncho, but it's too much of a sail on the bike.
