Winter thoughts

I like the dry cold winters here. Even with the NW winds.

I’m not doing too well with it at present. Had to do some fiddling chipping ice from the block heater plug, then noticed my back tire was close to flat. 2 out of 3 places didn’t have working air. It cost me $2.50 and frozen finger tips to fill that tire.

2F here and headed for -2. Got 6" of snow yesterday. Hate it.

Sounds like a beautiful white Christmas!

Growing up in Virginia we had blizzards every 3 years or so, I had fantastic memories sledding and building ice caves almost every year. When I left it felt like winters there were near-freezing slushy freezing rain. Gross. Give me a blizzard or give me 50s!

Though I woke up to this today.

Beautiful. It slows everyone down and literally mutes the noise, so quiet!

@Jon

Doesn't look at all like Lima.

No my three day trip is over. But I head back down on Friday.

Seems weird and a waste of money but I didn’t want Mayla entering or leaving the country without me under the current regime.

[Mik]

Lot of flight time, but I understand your point.

[jon-nyc]

It’s better than it seems. We were originally leaving Sunday of last week, not Tuesday. I was going to be there basically a week.

Then immigration plopped our green card interview on the calendar for Monday. Great news obviously but inconvenient timing. So my first trip went from being 6 days to being three.

I can relate. When the covid vaccine first came out I lost three weeks at the beach.

So ... uhm ... when was the last time you made a snow angel?

[Mik]

Probably when I still believed in Santa Claus.
