At least someone is having adventures, Charm got to go skiing with some of our other friends over to Targhee this weekend.The weather wasn't good. It was so stormy they didn't ski at all the second day. Raining in Jackson on the way home. When she got back the county had plowed her road - here's her story: "Reached the parking area where my snowmachine and cargo sled were waiting. One of the county guys was coming down the Boulder Lake road in a grader. I visited with him a few minutes. He said they had plowed the road as far as the boatdock turnoff and it had been tough going. I put my suitcase in the sled, took off, and had to ride mostly on dirt for probably five miles. Got to the top of the hill where you can first see the lake to discover that the guys had left a big snowberm all the way across the road and I couldn't get over it or around it. Called Jim on the cell phone. No answer. I figured he was out plowing ranch roads, which he was. Left a message that I was walking home and if he received it, maybe he would try to come and get me. I walked about two and a half miles when here he came. I climbed on behind him and we rode double near to where I had left my machine. He was able to negotiate all the rough stuff; then made a track down a little draw to the lake, came back, put me on his machine, and he rode mine, pulling the sled. We cut across the (still frozen) lake and made it to the house."
" Am always so amazed how Jim can ride a snowmobile in such horrible "stuff". I couldn't begin to attempt it, even without the sled. I tipped the machine over on the berm Sunday morning as we were riding out so I could go to Targhee. Jim was ahead of me with the cargo sled, came back, and tipped me upright again. Well, it's all about experience, a little finesse and "know-how", some strength, and some weight. The county crews plowed us out and the Boulder Lake Road looks like the Autobahn! What a great job they did, considering all the snow and the fact it was so packed down. Jim took me to the parking area this afternoon in the Bronco (which has been up here all winter) to get the Durango. ".
A sure sign of spring when they start driving in and out!
Due to a certain FRIEND'S endless prodding, I'm working on getting the photos on the back blogs. Got a few days done. I'll let you know when that project is finished up and you can go back and check if you want. Somehow there's a month of blogs sitting there with no photos. Not sure how that happened. The worst was getting them organized and into folders so then could find them and go to them by the date. I’m amazed how many I’ve lost. What a waste of a good trip not to have any of those pictures. Nearly everything before the new camera was lost. I’m also beginning to wonder if this laptop is arbitrarily “saving” them somewhere I don’t know about. Or backing them up. Seems like I don’t have enough pictures in here. And I don’t have a clue where they are.
Last night the temperature never got below freezing all night - stayed right around 34 degrees. It's the first time all winter that happened. It's been pretty cloudy, but the sun is shining at the moment. Maybe I should say "momentarily". The weather report is for at least an inch of snow today. Right now its 45 degrees - yesterday nearly 50. Each time I go downtown the snowbanks by the streets are smaller. Wow! Awakening Spring!
Oncology called and changed my coumadin dose just a little. My reading was a little better yesterday, 1.9, and they want it between 2 and 3, so we're getting closer. Today I'll print the invitation for our Mixed Media meeting on the 27th, and stuff the envelopes and get them mailed. I might just run out of ink in the midst of the project, so am prepared to go buy more ink if necessary.
