December 26, 2018 - Wednesday evening
22 degrees/cloudy/calm winds
Pentoga Road
If Mom or I would have done any less or moved any slower today, time would have moved backwards and we'd be back to Christmas day.
Wednesday morning began with the usual walk. The sun was just rising over the horizon and with the crystal clear skies and cold temperatures, everything seemed almost animated.
I experimented shooting into the sun and utilized a tree to block part of the direct light rather than a filter.
Mom and I watched three movies today, two on the Hallmark Channel. Actually, I may have closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep for part of the afternoon.
We made our way to town to run a few errands. After, it was back home to watch another movie. I've definitely become a more sensitive guy as a result.
I gathered a bit of energy late this afternoon and processed ten pounds of hamburger for the freezer.
I slice the tube into burgers, wrap and put each in packs of three, then place them into a large freezer bag. It's handy to defrost a single pack when Sargie and I want hamburgers for supper.
Sargie was home later this evening. We took the Kia to the mechanic's to have the blower (fan) for the heater fixed. It went out completely last week and makes driving the subcompact a chilly experience this time of year. Sargie will drive one of the other two vehicles until it's fixed.
It appears sloppy, wet, snowy, weather is heading our direction.
Assuming the roads are passable, Sargie opens the Vision Center Thursday morning. I'll go for my daily stroll then return to work in the shop a bit. The first order of business is to clean. After that, I need to touch up a snowman I turned and painted last week.
With bad weather forecast, I doubt Mom and I will go anywhere. If the snow is wet and heavy, I'll be plowing it from Jambo's and our drives often before it can pile up and become difficult to move.
It's about bedtime and my heavy eyes are telling me it's time to make that long climb to the bedroom.
After all, a man's work is never done.
So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
