Hey,  we made it to another Saturday!   Always feels good.  Ok, I know you retiree’s lose track of the day of the week.  Congratulations Mary Koss on deciding to join that group.  I can’t wait to get there!  Guess I should spend more time deciding how I will pay for that!

It was an OK week.  No major issues at work.  We had a SOB board meeting this week, which is always a fun night.  I wish I could remember all the good beers we tried!  The weather does seem to be getting better.  Had a wet heavy snow but it did not drop to zero the next day.   The sun was out Thursday and the car even felt warm when I got in it. Today cloudy, a few snowflakes and temp is 37.  but a cold wind 37, blowing strong out of the west.

Our driveway is a mess though.   I scraped off some gravel plowing snow, and the frost is out of the upper crust so it is full of moisture.   When they did the water piping a couple of years back the trucks got a lot of dirt in our gravel, so it is rather muddy.   I really need to have an excavator come in and scrape out a number of inches and put a good gravel base down.   I can’t keep just adding gravel to the top, I want to keep a decent grade flowing away from the garage.  so another project on the horizon.

We have planned a trip to New Mexico to see Marie.   They had told her that her next surgery would not be until May, which was very disappointing.   So we were going down to give her a break.   the day after we made our reservations the doctor’s office called and said they managed to move her surgery up to March 25th, which is great!  And it works out well,  Chris is going down March 28 and I go down March 31.  Now Chris won’t come home with me though,  she will stay with Marie and see how this recovery goes.  So something to look forward to for all of us!  And hopefully it won’t be long and Marie can travel!    She also bought a new computer, a lap top.  And is getting internet access at home, rather than dial up!    I was just setting up Skype on Chris’s computer so they can talk!

Tonight we will go to church.  We won’t have to get up in the morning, since we set the clocks ahead tonight.   And  a friend is playing with his band
SNB at a bar the other side of Omro tonight and we will stop there for awhile.    Sunday I am looking forward to some relaxing and some sunshine.  It will probably be a good morning for bloody mary’s.

The week ahead we go to Milwaukee one night to see Willie Nelson with Koss’s,  I have a homebrew club meeting, and will have to decide whether to stop for a beer on St Patrick’s day.    I used to do a whole afternoon and evening out on St Patricks,  must be getting older!  And before you know it I will be welcoming another weekend!

Enjoy!
