Went up to the Tilly Jane cabin with a group on Saturday. We got a late start, but the snow was great on the way up. The cabin (which normally sleeps 30) was already filled with people when we arrived, but everyone squeezed in for the night. Rained on the way out.

Funniest part was that Sam woke up this morning to a dog licking her face. The pup had to reach over me to give her a slobbery good morning kiss. She was not amused.

Several years ago, I planted some timber bamboo in a big pot in the front yard. One stalk turned into two, then into twenty.

Last week, the heavy snow toppled the (half buried) pot – blocking the front steps. We decided to do something about it, but when we cut the pot open, there was a surprise. Inside, no dirt was left. Only bamboo.

First, I attacked it with the Sawzall. Little damage was done. Jamie lent us a chainsaw, but the rip-cord broke on the second pull. So, it came down to an axe and brute force. Nothing like swinging an axe in the rain.

Now it is starting to snow again :(

Everytime that I reload the forecast for today seems to change – swinging wildly between 25 to 45 degrees.

Here it shows a current temp outside the range. WTF? You think that the programmers would have accounted for that.
