I hate snow. Fucking snow.

And so ends our 6th annual winter tradition where I curse the first snowfall. Thank you for your attention.

I and the family survived without much mishap.  A tree down across the 'rent's driveway that broke up on impact was easily moved over.  No flooding, no power loss.  There was an interesting ride from the 'rents to Speck-on-a-Map.  Gotta love the Versa with 65 MPH cross winds.  Kat and I spent about 48 hours checking in on each other and each other' ( Read more... )

So we start last Friday.  I left for Silver Kindom (hereafter known as SWOT) really late and grinning_fox  and company left really late and somehow we arrived at exactly the same time.  By tacit agreement, K and I let Jaime set up the whole tent for us and we just put up the stock.  We goofed off for quite a while until it was time to set up the group BBQ, ( Read more... )
