January 18, 2016 Shoveling & Getting the Hang of MAX

Looking down the main canyon
road on Sunday.






Friday 1/15. Shoveled the paths in the morning after bringing in the fire wood.  Checked out MAX after lunch and he did indeed have a slipped chain.  Fortunately this is something that could be fixed with three hands, which we did.  Took a bit longer than if we had four hands, but we got it done.

Saturday 1/16. It began snowing again sometime early this morning.  When we got up at about 8:00 am, the temp was 24 and we had at least two more inches.  By our 10:30 am walk up to clean the panels, we measured 3".  Snow fell on and off, light then hard til around noon.  Then the fog moved in.

More shoveling. . .  Not fun being the only person Up Here with two working hands. . .

We haven't had an egg from the girls in about a week now.  Not sure what caused that winter spurt.

Sunday 1/17. It was 23 and we were fogged in this morning.  Snow began to fall at about 8:30 am and kept on most of the day.  Our high for the day was 28 and we had two more inches by 2:00 pm.

Shoveled again this morning. . .

With all this snow, we had to groom the road and go start Miss Kitty.  So at about noon, we got in MAX and I actually drove like I knew what I was doing.  Miss Kitty started right up, but I didn't want to drive her as the main canyon road has not been plowed and I wasn't sure I would be able to get her back up to her parking place.  Let her run for a while, then turned MAX around and we were on our way home.  Had issues getting up our driveway, but was able to do it with no problems once JB got out.  So glad I was the driver. . .

Watched the last two episodes of Wayward Pines.  Great series, except for the last five minutes. 

Monday 1/18. It is 30 with clear, blue skies this morning.  There is no spectacle quite as stunning as sunrise over snow covered mountains.

Thought for the day: If we all did the things we were capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.  Thomas Edison
