Weekend was good, thanks for asking. I was really let down by the snow "storm" that they predicted .
Congrats on Jr. and good on you for bringing him out to drive in crappy weather. Thats the best way to learn...maybe throw in a snow covered empty parking lot of 2.
What vehicle is Jr. learning to drive in?
Also have you tried Copper Barrel on state yet?
Copper Barrel? Never heard of it. Did I promise to check it out sometime and forget?
As for Jr. and crappy weather... thanks. And yeah, I did initially want to avoid it. By the time we "got out" it had started. The first ~2.5 hours were spent in a local school campus parking lot. 2 elementary schools and a middle school all on the same campus with roads connecting the schools worked out perfect.
He's clearly nervous and driving pretty slowly so in the end, he really wasn't going fast enough for the snow to really matter. We ventured out for an hour in the thick of the snow through some neighborhoods and he did fine - though he definitely tensed up whenever another car was around lol.
The state requires he have 50 hours total driving before he's eligible for his permit - with 10 of those being at night. Of the 4.75 hours he's done, only 1 was really daylight.... so he's well on his way. Makes me think 50 hours is kind of a soft requirement...
In other news... free lunch monday w00t. For the last year+, someone has been ordering a "team lunch" from Giordano's, on the 2nd Monday of every month. The food arrives, usually 4-5 pizzas, salad, etc. It gets placed in one of the conference rooms. It sits there, uneaten, until ~3:00 or so when someone eventually moves it over to the cafeteria.
We didn't know who ordered it. It just showed up. So now - we pay attention (we literally have a recurring meeting invite for the 2nd Monday at 11:30). Today we figured out which team has been ordering it. They're not even in this building, haven't been for 6-7 months. They're 7-8 blocks away. But it still comes in.
We'll take it!
