We finally had some sun and temperatures above freezing!  Boy did that feel good.   Friday night we went up to Door County and it was zero degrees when we got there.   Saturday was better and today was just great.   Our friends in Florida won’t believe how good 38 degrees can feel.   I did some clean up in the driveway and took the ATV for a ride on the lake.   I am planning to get the fishing shack out this month.  It has not been out for awhile.   So I moved it a little today to prepare it.   I’ll probably have some trouble getting it away from the shore where the snow is deeper.  When I come down off the shoreline it will dive into the snow.   I’ll set up some ramps to help it down.   Once I get it out away from the shore I think the ATV will pull it.

And I will hope we get some more good weather.  There is always hope!

Just in case I did manage to get the new parts for my snowblower gear box and got it all together today.   I’ll let the silcone gasket material set before I put grease in and try it out.   But it was much easier to fix this year, since I had it all apart 2 years ago!

Chris has a new car,  well 2002.   But an upgrade from her 1996.   When we got home from Florida after New Years the 4 wheel drive was not disengaging and we decided not to put more money in it.   So we looked at a 2002 Trailblazer and Chris felt OK sitting in it.   And the price was right so it was sold!   I really like how it handles and rides.  So we will hope it lasts as well as the Blazer did.

And the back light of her laptop has gone out,  so we are looking for a new laptop for her.  All sorts of birthday presents for her!

Well back to watching the superbowl.  I’ll put another log on the fire and sit at the bar!  Take care,
