		 Start snowblower tomorrow to prepare in case we get more than the usual.  Watch the stupid bowl only in the hopes the eagles really put Mahomes down hard, if your going to get penalties for even breathing on the baby actor, at least make him earn it like Brady did.

		 Hanging by the wood stove tonight with my bride, the kids are away skiing. Taking my nephew to skeet in the morning then waiting for the snow. Sunday I guess I'll be shoveling.

 Sprains in both shoulders, gout flare up in my dominant hand and a hairline fracture in my wrist which is also arthritis related. With prescription anti-inflammatories, heat and cold it’s made a lot of improvement but still sucks. Friday I could barely move. Thank god I wasn’t traveling.

 I was having a lot of muscular pain on allopurinol it so they switched me to Uloric which is stronger. Have no idea if that was the problem or not. It is working very well though and all the free tophi it’s dissolving can make flare ups occur. It’s amazing how much the swelling in my hands and feet has reduced this past year, it was really bad.

Nice to have a low-stress superbowl to watch. Almost (almost) felt bad for the chiefs.

		 Heading to key west with the family... Packed a few travel rods.  
    
    Never been, never fished anywhere besides the North east. I feel like an absolute beginner headed to new waters... Not taking it super seriously, but I am prepared for me and my kids to fish from shore (artificials and bait rigs)  
   If I catch anything, its a win
