It’s getting cold again here. The high today was around 1F and the low somewhere below 0. It’s definitely cold. I woke up at 5am from going to bed so early and it felt pretty good. I did some writing for work and otherwise had a relaxing day. We made meatballs with Chris’ wonderful cream … Read more
We had to get up early for the ice dam removal service arriving around 8am. To review, there are rather large icicles that formed on the north side of my girlfriend Chris’ house. A 5″-6″ ridge of ice is visible at the edge of the roof below the snow and the presumption has been uneven … Read more
I had a long call with my client with email woes from earlier in the week. It was a good call and there are some things to finish by Monday. The snow was coming down pretty good today. I shoveled the driveway and some of the deck. It snowed enough that we didn’t have game … Read more

While there was a blizzard and extreme weather in some parts of Minnesota, there wasn’t any here. There was maybe 2″ of snow overnight and there was some wind so it was cold I’m sure (I stayed inside), but there were blue skies through most of the day. Another birthday cake showed up today from … Read more
Today was intended to be pretty quiet. We had the party last night. My girlfriend Chris woke up fairly low energy which has happened off and on during her surgery recovery. We drove out to Greg’s Meats in the morning to take advantage of this weeks sale. We got uncased pork sausage meat and boneless … Read more
