Random Thoughts on Life, Connectivity and Wool Socks

First I am very happy to be off Facebook. I am happier with my life than I was before. The effect of everyone putting their absolute best foot forward makes us all feel like junk that we are not living up to other peoples fake lives. Also I talk to people on the phone more which is good. That’s been an excellent decision.

We do not really miss having cable either. Heck there currently isn’t a TV set up in our house; simply because the room it will go in is not ready yet. That is a project we need to attack with great rage. Anyway moving back to the point I do not miss it. My schedule is busier, mostly due to gym time and a commute that’s longer than it has been in awhile, than we are used to so there is more available time. I watch a bit of TV here and there (work or lunch or whatever) and can watch shows I like (SOA and Walking Dead) on the computer so it isn’t a huge loss. Would like to get it set up to watch the news on lazy weekend mornings and in the evening and we will. However I can’t see us getting cable again any time soon.

I switched to wool socks this week. Picked up a couple pair of Carhart brand ones at the local farm type store. So far so good. They are a lot thicker than I am used to but not overly hot. Our temps have averaged in the 80′s and I haven’t been uncomfortable in them. Have noticed my feet do not get that muggy sweaty feeling as they wick the moisture away which is nice. So far I like this. Also it’s another way to incorporate more functional survival gear into my regular life setup’s which increase the odd’s I’ll have it when needed.

 Tomorrow I am going to start working on some home improvement stuff. Should be big fun.

Anyway that’s all I feel like writing so it’s time to wrap this up. Happy Friday!!!
