California I5 driving traffic dog weimaraner codriver
Norcal

The usual drive. Jes accompanied on the way up but had to fly back for work. We stopped for a night in Burbank and did a meal with her family.

She made sure Kafka was festive. Norcal was usual pleasant holiday: food, board games, family, friends...

Since Pops had worked so hard on the water heater, I pitched in on the deck effort. After a couple hours Kafka was able to take his usual spot in the sun.

Kept it pretty low key. Went to Ryan's to play some board games and hang out in their delivery hot tub.

Jason brought a deck that absolutely destroyed us when he flipped Genesis Wave. Might need to get a copy of that one.

Blowing off some dust

 J and I are pretty far along Monster Hunter, so for a change of pace we started another playthrough of The Division. We're hoping two years of fixes have solved some of the endgame/pvp stuff. There's also a bunch of dlc that might be worth checking out.
