Looks like the old thread works for me now too! There’s still plenty of ice outside. I took a ride to the gas station and grocery store. Other than that, I’m not going back outside for much. It’s going to rain all day, the temperatures are above freezing though. I feel how you’re feeling, Brett, this time of year. I’m thinking about watching a movie with the wife when she gets done in the kitchen. I’m just hanging out on the couch with a tub of red pepper hummus and sun chips with the weather on TV.
Power came back on at 7:43 PM and the house and wife had not gotten cold yet. Seriously, I am glad it came back on so I didn't have to start the generator and mess with the cords.

At least the air is calm and that makes for a peaceful rain. Honestly, this winter hasn’t been as bad (mentally) as it has been in the past. I can already detect the days staying lighter longer and we haven’t had as much wind as I remember. January and February are the longest, most dreadful months for me. The holidays are over and it’s not springtime yet, I usually go to and from work in the dark and damp and it’s just a drag in general. In three weeks we will have a little weekend break in Arizona so that is something to look forward to. After that it won’t be much longer then it will be march and then I’ll know that the worst of the weather should be over and the days will be getting noticeably longer. Ok, I’m done feeling blue….Plans are to go shopping for another birthday meal tomorrow. Flank steak, roasted vegetables, pomegranate/pear salad and basque cheesecake with chocolate ganache. We will have Bible study this evening but in between those two things we don’t really have any plans. We are sort of stuck here in the house because of rain. Where are you going to be in the AZ?

I have an eye problem…I (eye) just couldn’t see myself going into work today so….No plans except for a nice dinner. I need to get some things (bb guns) put back in place in the shop. The lawn could use a raking. I’m not going to do too much of that. I really want to shoot an air rifle and possibly an air pistol. 🔫 How are you guys storing your airguns and all of the “things” that go along with them? I have my items consolidated but it seems things are always getting out of place and some things are just not real convenient to get to. I’m sure we all deal with this to some extent but it’s frustrating at times and I want to streamline these things for easier access. Any hints, tips or tricks are much appreciated! 👊🏼

I often think that putting something in a special place I will always know where it is.... not so much. Like I said before, I bought a label maker to label all the drawers, coffee can and boxes as to what's in them but I've misplace the label maker.
