Were the mice able to keep warm?

Sorry, I could not stop myself and hold to the cowboy code.

Certainly! On Earth as it is in Headquarters Marine Corps!

It started snowing here this afternoon and Julie got out all her snow shovels. I don't expect much but we'll see. It is nice to have it cold.

I'm far from home, but my next-door neighbors in Bend sent me a photo of my place this morning showing some kind of white deposits...


This was a sample of my day:

It’s winter now, with a “robust” atmospheric river on the way.

The automatic Deck Snow Shoveler went off this morning and is still out there.

I got one of those, great whenever it is working. Sometimes runs on chocolate. Amazing!

Got diesel!

Lil' Red, the tractor has a full tank. We'll fill the diesel can tomorrow morning and the snow tires are going on Julie's Subaru................ the snow stakes are going up along the road also. Sunday night through Tuesday night look like fun in these parts.

Same here. We were supposed to be on the wet side, but cancelled due to snow here, and 3” of rain forecasted there. It was described as a robust atmospheric river.

They call her "Nicole".

I'm camped at the blue dot, St George Island State Park, until Saturday.


We'll see...
Worst-case scenario: I still won't have to shovel snow!

This reminds me of our friend in South Lake Tahoe. He says, when he retires, he's driving south with the snow plow still mounted on the front of his truck. When he stops for gas and a group of old timers gather around his truck, scratch their heads and ask, "What in the world is that?", that is where he'll move to.
