Super Bowl 55 was a dud. KC's offensive line was porous, and Tom Fucking Brady is Tom Fucking Brady, no matter what uniform he's wearing. I started fading around the end of the second quarter, played Gran Turismo during halftime, and called it quits a few minutes into the fourth. I had planned on watching the premiere of the Equalizer reboot, but I couldn't stay awake.

Monday was the first session of our Deadlands game, and I had a good time and right now I could happily not be a GM again for about a year or so. I'm reading Coriolis in prep for a proposed game, and there have been a few PDF purchases here and there for reading and out of curiosity. I have a feeling though, that my fading interest in the hobby is a long-term thing.

Woke up to an impending winter storm yesterday morning. It started hitting about an hour before I headed home from work - the obligatory snow and sleet and freezing rain mix. Got home okay, taking it slow, and settled in. About 8:30, power went out on one side of the house. Went out to check the breaker box, and one was thrown and would not reset. 40 minutes later, the rest of the house went dark. The furnace had gotten things warm enough that I decided to just throw another blanket on the bed and sleep at home. Woke up, thanked whatever was listening that the water heater is a gas-burner and took a hot shower before going in early and napping on a very comfy couch before clocking in. LG&E got things back online this evening - one of the mess of branches I had put off trimming had gotten enough ice on it that it pulled a power line away from a connection. Got home tonight, and the living room lights shining through the front windows were as beautiful as any cathedral's stained-glass illumination. Plugged things back in, cranked up the furnace, and now I am finished writing this and it's just about time to get back under those blankets.

On the other hand, the Mariner's electrical gremlins are back, and I don't want to talk about those.

It's apparently the week for vehicular electrical gremlins. Wednesday evening, as I was pulling out of the office to go pick up feline medications and human dinners, the Ridgeline threw an AWD system error, immediately followed by a charging system error. The local dealership diagnosed both as a short in the alternator; the AWD is electronically-controlled and apparently wasn't getting enough juice to do its thing. Alternator was replaced under warranty but the truck just feels off somehow, twitchy and with an overly-high center of gravity. I guess one day of driving The Girl's Legacy was enough to screw up my kinesthetics.
