I hear ya, my pic was rather anonymous... I think...

You don't see any link on your end to my FB page do you? Don't see it on my end. Just copied the URL from the photo after I posted it to FB. If anyone is that hellbent on tracking down my FB page from that, well you can see some pics of a paunchy middle aged white guy. Have at it, lol....

Well we lost power at around 5:30 am. Got it back around 1:30 pm just in time because the house was getting cold! Not counting my chickens yet, heard more booms tonight and we have that whole new storm tomorrow. We have enough wood for tomorrow and that's it.

Sorry to hear. Hoping ours stays on from now on but not getting my hopes up with the deep freeze. We lost lots of limbs and had to cut some large limbs in order to get the car out of the garage.

I don't now but I'm pretty sure I did earlier. Did you change it? I recall having to click on a link and it going to a Facebook page.

Let's see now...

At around 5:30 am your rooster began crowing and all the chickens got scared and took off, so you're not ready to count your chickens yet because you hear booms in the night as someone is apparently shooting at them...but that's okay because you have enough wood to cook the chickens that get shot on the rotisserie tomorrow. Got it! What time is dinner?

For your snowboarding expertise, of course!

BTW, I still plan to retire to the Oregon Coast and New Zealand, switching hemispheres every equinox. That's not exactly a cold climate, but it ain't hot like here most of the time!

You should see me figure skating. Especially the one-foot salchow coming off a tuck axel!!!

Wellington is nice, but not warm enough for me...

Heck, Cairns probably isn't warm enough for you!

Wellington has tons of Greeks, so that makes it desirable IMHO.

Stay warm tonight and tomorrow. Take care. Wife is joining kidlet for sledding tomorrow AM. Walkin' in a winter wonderland!
