Ernie Ford sang a song long ago about "Sixteen Tons." Iw as on the road all day yesterday to pick up the young man show spent most of the summer with me as we traveled the UP taking photos and such. He will be here to watch my dogs for a day or two. I have to go into the hospital over at Marquette... Sign in to see full entry.

I am about to leave for the day. Just to make it nice traveling weather, it is -3 right now but heading toward 23 or so. It is my intention to make this a round trip as I go from Newberry to Grand Rapids and back. I keep a 'jump bag' that has three days of clothing, ten days of my medications, and...

I just found out that I have to make a quick trip south tomorrow (Tuesday) so I'm making a few posts tonight as I have to go down there and back by 6PM, roughly a 700 mile round trip. The weather will be cold in the morning, but it is supposed to be clear. I may have time to leave a quick note in... Sign in to see full entry.
It's mail and banking 'holiday' as the nation celebrates what used to be done as Lincoln's birthday. Feb 9, 1809 and George Washington's birthday, February 22, 1732. Now it is just called "Presidents Day." I did a quote by Lincoln on his birthday, and while it isn't February 22nd yet, here is one by... Sign in to see full entry.

I was up working on a novel until almost 3 AM. I managed well over 10,000 words total yesterday. I was on a roll, and when riding a wave like that, you can't stop and get off. Unfortunately, my dogs didn't stay up with me. Soooo... about 7:35, everyone (except me) wanted to get up and go outside.... Sign in to see full entry.

How Much Snow?
I happened to go out at exactly the right time this morning to my car. It was my intention merely to start it and get it warmed up. All the snow plow trucks were hopelessly behind, but as I was shoveling off my 'step,' the guy who does my neighbor's drive happened by. After he finished their drive,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's 'reasonably' warm outside at +17F right now, but the radio station is saying that we got well over 22" of new snow last night. All of the private snow plowers are overwhelmed right now, and many have had equipment issues due to the constant use. Long story short, my drive has about two feet of... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, after another fourteen inches of snow last night, I'll have to wander out and see if I can find my car again. I see an oblong lump in the snow, but ya never know what might be under it. The bad thing being, it's still snowing out there. The nice thing about big snow days like this that I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Despite the fact that we already have snow hip deep to a tall totem pole, we have another winter storm warning beginning about noon today. I looked out the window to see that it is already snowing. Good thing I buy my groceries by the month. I can hardly wait for it to warm up, melt all of this snow... Sign in to see full entry.
