Fair enough. Though, I'm gonna put that on them for scheduling a meeting so damn early. You meeting with someone in Switzerland or something?

Most of my meetings are with Switzerland or Spain, with a smattering of Italy, India and Malaysia.

I'm taking off starting Xmas Eve and running through the new year. I've always wanted to take that whole week after Xmas off, and since I've got a ton of time off now, I'm doing it. Can't wait for a whole week of sleeping in.

I may have the same one. I bought it for a few years in a row and 8 years ago sounds about right. If so, mine is already opened and I just need to find the mason jar.

I've missed at least 4 trips this year, plus family coming in to town twice, so my time off bank is as high as it's ever been. Blessing and a curse, I guess.

Selling them as scrap. Interesting, learn something new every day, as the saying goes. Had to google that to find out why someone would steal a catalytic converter.

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 16, the 351st day of 2020.
There are 15 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 16, 2000, President-elect George W. Bush selected Colin Powell to become the first African-American secretary of state.
On this date:
In 1773, the Boston Tea Party took place as American colonists boarded a British ship and dumped more than 300 chests of tea into Boston Harbor to protest tea taxes.
In 1809, the French Senate granted a divorce decree to Emperor Napoleon I and Empress Josephine (the dissolution was made final the following month).
In 1811, the first of the powerful New Madrid (MAD’-rihd) earthquakes struck the central Mississippi Valley with an estimated magnitude of 7.7.
In 1905, the entertainment trade publication Variety came out with its first weekly issue.
In 1944, the World War II Battle of the Bulge began as German forces launched a surprise attack against Allied forces through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and Luxembourg (the Allies were eventually able to turn the Germans back).
In 1950, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed a national state of emergency in order to fight “world conquest by Communist imperialism.”
In 1960, 134 people were killed when a United Air Lines DC-8 and a TWA Super Constellation collided over New York City.
In 1980, Harland Sanders, founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain, died in Shelbyville, Kentucky, at age 90.
In 1982, Environmental Protection Agency head Anne M. Gorsuch became the first Cabinet-level officer to be cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to submit documents requested by a congressional committee.
In 1985, Organized-crime chief Paul Castellano and his bodyguard were shot to death outside a New York City restaurant on orders from John Gotti.
In 1991, the U.N. General Assembly rescinded its 1975 resolution equating Zionism with racism by a vote of 111-25.
In 2001, after nine weeks of fighting, Afghan militia leaders claimed control of the last mountain bastion of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida fighters, but bin Laden himself was nowhere to be seen.

Ten years ago: The House joined the Senate in passing a massive bipartisan tax package preventing a big New Year’s Day tax hike for millions of Americans. Interviewer Larry King, joined by a parade of former guests, concluded his CNN talk show after 25 years.
Five years ago: The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, lifting its key rate by a quarter-point to a range of 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent. The first attempt to find a Baltimore police officer criminally responsible for Freddie Gray’s death from a broken neck in a police van ended with a hung jury and a mistrial in the case of William Porter.
One year ago: House Democrats laid out their impeachment case against President Donald Trump; a sweeping report from the House Judiciary Committee said Trump had “betrayed the Nation by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections.” Boeing said it would temporarily stop producing its grounded 737 Max jet as it struggled to get approval from regulators to put the plane back in the air; it had been grounded since March after two deadly crashes. Drew Brees became the NFL’s all-time leader in touchdown passes, throwing for four TDs to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 34-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. “The Rise of Skywalker,” the conclusion of the third trilogy in the “Star Wars” movie franchise, was given a standing ovation at its world premiere in Hollywood.

Can't you get them more easily off of wrecked cars?

I learned talking to the detective that it's unlawful for a scrap metal dealer to accept one without recording the ID of the person selling it. Apparently that reduced the sell price some but obviously not going to stop it. We'll have to deploy a modification to make it more difficult so the f'kers move on to easier pickings.

I'm sure that's one of the first things harvested off a wreck for resale. Easier, yes, but cheaper, no.

Why no golf? Except for the 19th hole, it's one of more socially distanced sports there is.

This is the exact argument I've made with the wife. But since she's high risk, she's a little more panicky than most about possibly catching it, so I stay home.

Definitely don't tell her that you hang out with this lot. She'll have you sleeping in the garage.

Just mindlessly PW'ing, although the Joe offerings barely qualify even for that effort.

Hmmm, white Christmas possible?

I'm going to luckily dodge this storm except a few inches of the white stuff.
