The snowman that Hambone and Grandma Sargie made two weeks ago is about to lose his head.

Pentoga Road

It's been another warm, but breezy, day in the UP. According to Carl the Weatherman, this was the last of our really warm days and after Tuesday, the temperatures are to dip into the below zero range.

A lot of snow has melted during the past two days.

After arriving home from Iron Mountain this morning, I headed to the shop. One more day of cutting on the scroll saw should see this current project finished. It's taken three days (so far) of fairly intensive work.

Despite the wind, Saturday afternoon was entirely too nice to waste by staying inside. I kissed the shop goodbye, strapped on my hikers, and took off for Pentoga Park, two miles away.



The road was icy and with melt water flowing over the top, walking was dicey at best.

There were several fishermen out on the lake. With plenty of ice, I found the parking lot empty as everyone is driving to their favorite fishing spot.



Sargie just called. She's on her way home after a twelve hour shift. My girl works Sunday from noon to five, but thankfully, has Monday and Tuesday off this coming week. 

I'll be heading out to the shop first thing Sunday morning before riding with Sargie a ways down the road so I can walk back home.

It's time to get Sargie's supper. That girl's going to be hungry after working a long day.

After all, a man's work (and his wife's) is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
