Monday's Bitterly Cold and Snowy Sundown

January 28, 2019 - Monday evening

-4 degrees/cloudy/breezy

Pentoga Road

I'm waiting for Sargie to pull in the drive. We'll have a quick catch-up conversation then it'll be bedtime for this guy. I'll be up bright and early in the morning and out the door to teach at Florence Elementary, Home of the Bobkitties. Sargie's off tomorrow, so she'll probably stay up for a while and enjoy a late evening.

Today can summarized in one word:

PALLETS

It took most the day, but the trailer is now devoid of any and all pallets. Each has been disassembled and the lumber sorted and stacked.

It was almost mid afternoon before I finished. Honestly, I was about too pooped to pop from hauling them inside, sawing and cutting, then hauling the lumber back out. That cycle was repeated throughout the day.

Usually I clean when I'm finished. That didn't happen this afternoon. I put the tools down, turned off the lights, and walked away.

The mess will be waiting for me on Wednesday when I return to the shop.

I did take an hour to plow the drive, then cleaned the back patio. We haven't received any real accumulation of snow at one time, but the half-an-inch to inch that seems to fall every day had begun to accumulate. 

This evening has been spent watching a program on Amazon Video. It's about eight people who retrace the route from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay in the same manner as the fur traders of a hundred and fifty years ago. I give it two thumbs up.

As mentioned earlier, Sargie's off Tuesday. I'm officially listed as a roaming sub, so only Neal the Principal knows for sure where I'll be. I don't really care. I enjoy all the elementary grades.

Time to close and get supper ready for Sargie. She's been working all day and no doubt, my girl will be hungry.

After all, a man's work, and that of his wife's, is never done.

So are the tales of Pentoga Road...

Makes perfect sense to me.
