I waited until just before dark to run the dog for a few miles, trying to beat the wind. -1 is not too bad, if there is no wind.

It worked. The wind died down to nothing at dark. Good run, no birds to be seen, although I did see their tracks in the snow.

The wife and I have conspired to keep chilli, pasoli, stew, and a variety of bread on the dinner menu this week.

Gas in the snow blower, the garage furnace keeps the shop at 40 degrees (vehicles that start and run are a good thing) we are ready.

Best,
Ted
