I just went over to a local hardware store and bought a new sleigh

BTW our RONA hardware chain (based in Quebec) has been bought out by
Lowes. Not sure if that will make much difference.


I was just watching the latest forecast. Normally a storm in this
location wouldn't be a big deal because it will pass over 400 miles
off the coast. But apparently this one is going to blow up to be so
big and strong that it will still throw heavy snow and high winds (45-50
mph with gusts over 65) back our way along the coastline south of Boston.

I learned my lesson last year though. I spent a couple of hours today
with the tractor pushing the snow banks back that I made on Friday when
plowing to make room for more. I didn't do that last year and quickly
ran out of space to plow the snow.

Apparently that one's going to miss us. We're scheduled for some more
next Monday. But, I'm scheduled for golf tomorrow
and the next day. I need to burn some calories.

Just going to be cold here. Too cold for the boat anyway but it would
be OK for golf. (60s)


Warm up, y'all. I am meeting the wife in Orlando in a week and then down
to the Keys for a week, then back up to Orlando to a week's condo. We want
warmth at Looue Key. Parmers resort.
