Still Snowing Here and It Doesn't Stop!

Dumped a foot on us last night. The '06 Miata made it about a hundred yards down the road before the snow started to plow up over the hood. Back to the barn she went and out came the F350. I hate to drive it to work (mileage stinks) but I never would have gotten out of our area without the four wheel drive.

Burning some fir in the stove. It's wet and pops like jiffy pop, but it burns and lasts better than the aspen. Home depot has compressed wood fiber stove logs, 6 for $3.85, so I'm putting one of those in the middle to get it stabilized and burning good. I'll buy the whole pallet if the price drops to $2 a bundle (30 lbs per). There is a premium price on cured firewood out here - Bidding starts at $150 per cord for pine! No oak, but if you're lucky you can find a city tree that has to come down. Those are all old elms and burn great. Each piece of elm takes two wedges to split however : (

Just finished shoveling the driveway. Skis n gear come this week. Excited! Never thought I'd be frequenting the ski shops! Hopefully we'll get them and start using them before the snow is gone (smirk). Our dude behind the counter at the ski store had lived in Mechanicsville for a while - go figure. Says he's really relieved to be back in Idaho.

I'll get busy with more pictures soon, so be sure to check at least once a week. Getting up before 4AM doesn't let me get much time for artistic efforts.
