House rocker for a snow day! I had this album as an 8-track tape way, way back when. Every cut's a dandy. As a side note, Jesus might actually have left Chicago from what I see on the Chicago news. Pretty rough there these days - not as bad as Minneapolis, mind you, but not good. I worked up there as a millwright a couple of summers. It was a pretty rough neighborhood back then, even at 5:45 in the morning when I rolled into the plant. The money was good, though. It helped out quite a bit while I was working my way up the pay schedule at the high school.
Shot taken looking south about 4:30 in the afternoon yesterday. If you look closely, you can see a few snowflakes in the air. It was snowing most of the day - maybe 4-5 inches of light fluffy snow. There's still daylight, so the days are getting longer. That always is a mood booster for me.
Surly showed up about 6:00 with one of the grandsons to check on the Missus and I, bring some firewood in and shovel a path from the front and back door out to the garage. He had sent me a message earlier in the day checking on us but I think he was concerned more than usual due to my recent heart attack, bless his heart.
I got a message from my brother in Ohio and my brother's widow in southern Indiana and both of them had gotten around 8 inches of snow by mid-day.
It's supposed to be cold again today, but I'd like to get the tractor out and run it up and down the lane. The real cold weather seems to make it hard for me to breathe since the grabber. I need to keep my face covered when I'm out and take it real easy on the snow shovel until I get a better idea of what's going on.
As for the rest of you out there, take care. I hope you were prepared for the cold, snow, ice and power outages.
