The 4.30 AM wake up went reasonably well, as did the timeline getting Mark to SJC. The fog was dense but drivable. The cluster of cars dropping passengers was 3-deep and in such a manner that all of the open space 25ft further was obscured. His drop-off was close to being a tuck-n-roll exit. I returned to bed while Jen went on her weekly hike. I reached out to Tommy in an attempt to open a dialog, but he pushed back and said, "January". Fine by me. The ball's in his court now, and knowing that will make it easier to focus on other priorities. I opened one of the 3lb bags of coffee I ordered, ones well rated for the light/medium roast profiles I prefer: "Dominican Republic Ramirez Natural Jarabacoa". The first pass hit the 14% mark on the spot. It'll be fun to brew a pot in the morning and get an initial sense of how it differs. Jen and I are driving to Sac to get Lauren from Menchie's at 11 and bring her home. She can't take her pet hamster on Amtrak! :-D. It's a nice drive, and I renewed FSD on the Tesla for the month, which makes it a lot less stressful. For me, at least, maybe not Jen.
