The day was nice but the eve before was a b*tch. Nasal congestion, aching lower back, tossing and turning and then a premature cat alarm goes off at 5:45 AM. I wish we had never gotten them in the habit of being fed first thing in the morning. But Julie came into the house when we were still working and heading out the door at 6 AM and we just continued with the schedule when Shadow and Chester joined the pride.
Much warmer today than yesterday. (Someone must have gotten the memo about Global Warming.)
It was 12 degrees when I got out of bed at 6 AM (bad night...don't ask) and rose to 33 degrees under a bright sun late in the afternoon. I got out to the wood pile at 12:30 and spent an hour splitting some logs even though it looks like I won't really need them for a week as AccuHunch says we're in for some warming. Might get into the 40s for a couple of days. Of course they also say it's going to rain for the weekend....
Terry's concerned because one of the AccuHunch meteorologists, Joe Bastardi (now there's a name for a guy in a profession that gets cursed frequently!), says there will be several weeks of very stormy winter weather between Valentine's Day and the Ides of March. She's supposed to drive down to Savannah, GA on the 24th and will head to Columbia, SC on March 1st and then turn for home on the 6th. She wants to take her little yellow Aveo but that thing doesn't travel well in snow. Bastardi says the storms will be mostly between I-80 (just south of us) and I-70 (approximately Washington, DC). I told her not to worry. These guys can't predict tomorrow let alone the next month.

just to make sure of the proper traveling vehicle, since you bad mouth your w-gods so much, i give terry my permission to take the tundra:)
I'd let her take the Tundra but she won't. She's not driven it out of the yard. She says it's too big for her. She wouldn't drive the Silverado when I had it either. Anything larger than a Trailblazer or an Explorer and she says she can't see enough of the area around her. Hell that doesn't stop little old ladies with silver blue hair.
