Now I want bacon.

No clue what's up today...lots I have to do, like animal chores and husband's stuff. Still need to spend more time in food storage organization. And have a lot, a lot of potato flakes to repackage. We'll see what I end up doing.
You'll be cooking bacon!
 
I would agree but if I don't get the road open within the next few days, and we get another 3 or 4 feet of snow like they're predicting, then we're stuck until May. We have plenty of food and fuel on hand so thats not a problem. We have a doctors appointment on Wednesday that we should probably go to.
Well.... maybe you can find a few moments of peace and tranquility while lying on your back in the snow to catch your breath and avoid a heart-attack. :D

I'm going to try the snowblower first. It's pretty comfortable with the heated cab. If I can make it to the country road then I need to come back and get the tractor to dig through the berm that's left from the county plow.
I do so much digging around here in snow, ice, and frozen ground that I'm beginning to think I'm immune from heart attacks.
 
Getting real equipment today for hobby. Sand blasting cabinet is here and will be brought to me this morning. Have many pieces to work then start reassembly. Primer and put aside until paint scheme decided. After talking with my "train guys", they say repower the old stuff. The old motors may run fine but don't agree with the new DCC systems. No problem, more brass!
 
My Irishman has decided.
With no protest from me for a change.
That he needs his own vehicle.
That way if he wants to go for a drive across town?
He can just hop in his vehicle and go.
While he has been deciding things.
He has decided he needs his own place too.
That way my apartment won't be too small all the time.
He can only stay at my place for so many days a month due to the lease.
Normally when he's in town, he just crashes at some else's house.
But everybody is getting a little tired of that.
I think everybody thinks it's time for him to put down roots somewhere.
It's been 10 years of nomad life for these guys.
Kinda like Spikedriver's life.
Their company is opening an office in Kansas City, Missouri.
All 6 of these men have applied for the job.
This way the other men, women and their families will have more time together.
We shall see how it goes.
We find out next week if the 6 men got the job and will be home every night.
It will be an adjustment for everyone involved.
All 6 men got the job in Kansas City Mo.
My Irishman is buying a house in my area.
Somewhere between Kansas City Mo and me.
Oh boy.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
I have a funny looking brace type thing on my right shoulder.
I fell a few days ago, been in the hospital.
I tripped over the Irishman's work boots in the middle of the night.
