Good morning, folks. It'll be a beautiful day here. My wife and I will have lunch with our older daughter, the one who's in a family way. I may get in a short hike in the mountain preserve at dawn.
Keep on the sunny side.

Mother Nature just dumped three inches of snow on us overnight.
We weren't expecting this and we have places to go today.
Current mood:
Onward and upward.

Good morning. Cold and raining here, supposed to be that way all weekend. Today is birdathon, a fundraiser for the Audubon society. Participants submit lists of birds they see this weekend and are encouraged to donate to support the organization. We'll see how the weather dampens enthusiasm.....  This guy was in the backyard yesterday. Have a great day folks. |

Cloudy and cold. Might take a trip to REI for trekking poles. We are planning to do some hiking in the spring; our brothers and sisters-in-law and man other contemporary hikers swear by trekking poles.

It looks like one, to me.
Not much meat on those legs, though.

We are planning to do some hiking in the spring; our brothers and sisters-in-law and man other contemporary hikers swear by trekking poles. Trekking poles are surprisingly use for walking as one gets older. I have a single pole that I use regularly. Highly recommended. Condolences to LJ. Slept in a bit today. Highs in the low 40s and rain showers. Nita’s folks are coming over for pinnacle and then dinner at Spagetti Factory. Mike Wordle 973 3/6 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Back from coffee and treats at our HOA's clubhouse. Had a nice time talking with neighbors, some of whom I hadn't met before. I only had a small scone and then had toast at home. Now it's time to get back to scoring scholarship essays for our social club. With 39 out of 53 done, I should be able to finish today. Then put them aside and go back another day to see how consistent I was.

A cool, but beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning.
Getting ready to head to Vinton for some groceries and maybe lunch at the Chinese restaurant. I like to go there and visit with Sri, she grew up in Surabaya, Indonesia, just a few blocks from the the Hyatt hotel that I used to stay at. I like to spring some of my very limited, Indesian language, on her.
In other news, the Mexican restaurant where we've been meeting for our Saturday evening Idiot Jam meal, is "temporarily" closed. We'll see.

Morning.
Sunshine and blue skies. The sun is getting stronger and days are getting noticeably longer. I can really feel the corner being turned come mid-February. Spring is coming!

Don't beat the band. Single out the trombone player.

We'll see. We have had our Saturday evening Idiot Jam meal at the Chinese place. Wouldn't mind doing it again, if needed. We have couple of inches of snow and only 22°F. Not enough to shovel. Temps trending up to 60°F by Wednesday, then a long string of 50s almost to March. Not much of a winter. My tax refund is scheduled for deposit on February 21, which is also SS day for Nancy and I. Might want to take a bank balance screen shot that day. |

Cold and clear. We have a little place in town that makes massive pancakes. Like 18” around. We went and had one of those this morning. After the bloat subsides we’ll get a hike in. I set a game cam up on a fresh lion kill a few days so I’ll check the cam and see if we got a video.
