The ice from Tuesday's rain made the trees look like crystal in Wednesday morning's sunshine

Pentoga Road

It's a short one this morning. I fell asleep in front of the television last night and we're leaving in a short while for Iron Mountain. Sargie is off today, but has a hair appointment. I need a few things from Home Depot, so I'll go with and keep her company for the ride. 

Back from my walk, Wednesday was spent in the shop, either at the lathe, the bandsaw, or using the sander that Sargie gave me for Valentine's Day. With various sized spindles, it can't be beat for sanding inside curves.

Sargie didn't arrive home until late yesterday evening. We had a quick bowl of chicken stew and were soon off to bed. It was a short evening.

Tomorrow brings the beginning of our annual Milligan sisters and husbands gathering in Gladstone. Of course, with it comes a winter weather advisory for several inches of snow and ice. We haven't had a snow storm all winter so of course, it will probably drop feet and feet... or maybe a few inches.

That's okay, we'll put the trusty Blazer in four wheel drive and make our way east. It's the way we roll around here.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
