How about you, big plans today?
I'll add that I am envious of your day. I would love to do some mountain riding (cruising?). That's some beautiful terrain you live by.

We actually have snowmobile trails all around us. Nothing like what you have. Ours are basically routes through farmer's fields to get to bars. There's better riding up north but this has been a weird year. We actually have more snow by is than up north. It's unusual to see as many sleds out as we have seen lately.

Closed up in a tiny room with a dozen yellow jackets wandering around, but I never heard of anyone getting stung. Children leaned at an early age you didn't bother them. The good ol' days. Yeah... I still remember being fascinated seeing a toilet flush when I was around 4 years old. My introduction to modern technology.

Re-morning Woodsnitzes. The results are in from the transformer change out from the block behind us. Apparently the outage was caused by a rabbit who got into the transformer. They are the ground mounted ones so I expect the animal was looking for shelter during the storm and got warmed up rather quickly. Melt off continues.

G'Afternoon, Woods...
Russ, good that neighbors got power back...but. I see a major problem with wildlife getting into the transformers. I think they should all be re-engineered to protect any and all wildlife. Maybe on pedestals with bird proof screening around them. Maybe Uncle Joe can allocate a few billion for it...after all, it isn't his money.
