Happy New Year! Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain tonight, though not heavy. Wasn't going anywhere, however.

Happy New Year all!
Taking a charcuterie plate and some Prosecco to a friend’s house but it will be an early evening.
No staying up to midnight for years now.

A Happy New Year to all !

Thanks @Cornelius_Gotchberg , as I type it is breakfast time, and a late one at that, on New Year's Day, which I never saw in due to it being in the middle of a work round.

Enjoy your parties everyone when the time is right.

Happy New Year to one and all

The Gotch, who's not alone on this, is TRÈS humbled to have a TJer pal Down Under!

Happy New Year to you-n-yers!

Happy New Year! Went out for a New Year's eve lunch, but staying home tonight.

The lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch's New Year's Eve Black-n-Tan (Guinness-n-Michelob), shared with the husband who adores her, in Lake Superior Brewery Pilsners? Priceless!

The Gotch

Homebodies here. Enjoying a margarita for my celebration. I can already hear some fireworks and it’s twilight. ~90% of our neighbors are fireworks aficionados or it’s gunfire. The dog isn’t a fan.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope it's a great gardening year for everyone.

Happy new year

Lots of firework sounds to ignore here, all evening. Balmy 37F/3C, the drift of snow is melted away. Just munching a few chips with garlicky artichoke dip. Happy new year to all of you!

Still 2024 here for a few more hours, how’s the future looking?

Let's toss it over to Timuk 3:

Out with the OLD: In with the NEW: The Gotch

@Cornelius_Gotchberg what in Hades is all the chicken scratch on December? You some kind of old school bookie or sports betting phenom or stock market day trader that tracks it all on their very retro calendar? I see some red numbers, red ink normally reserved for some type of loss. Whatever it is it seems financial.

My resolution on my phone isn’t enough to discern what’s going on, but since you put the photo it out there now I’m nosey…err…curious, lol.

They tore down the school The Gotch attended to make room for the Old School. Anywho, them there retro calendar entries? If necessary, they're...um...disposable. Electronic records? Not so much. FTR, red ink is month to month; were it day-to-day/week-to-week (December, leastways), it'd be a Sea of SCARLET

In order of least-to-most importance: Risk supervision (valid analysis, dispassionate reasoning, and critical thought), followed by abbreviated existential & philosophical musings.

One more thing; were The Gotch (heh!) a bettin' man, he'd take the over in the Rose Bowl...
