Late morning frosty check in.

Winter brought us a healthy dose.

Plowed for a couple hours this morning to clear it out.



From the front porch.

The weapon of choice.

Weapon???? Surely you jest!! That's a toy!!! Something you go out and play on!!!! That shoulda been pretty fun running that thing up and down the drive..... I'd be chomping at the bit to have more snow come in!!!

I met him. Nice guy. We lived next door to his brother.

Sucks about the bike crash. Hopefully they come out of it okay.

That's how we roll Rick. Works great. Mine is in getting it's $500 service . Makes a Harley seem reasonable by comparison. There is a lot of stuff to remove to get at stuff and they're doing a valve adjustment.

Here Cheryl is making the most of winter on frozen water -

We're at a point where most side streets now have a thin layer of ice/ packed snow that doesn't leave, unless we get some January/ February thaw or spring hits. Main highways will be burned off.

We rarely get those conditions for more that a week. But then there is runoff that will freeze overnight, so I pick my riding days carefully.

I can't believe you have to work today Greg. I have it off to celebrate the good doctor. The benefits of corporate wokeness.

Have the two youngest grandsons today, sometimes they'll let me read a whole page, but not finish a coffee without a warmup or three.
