What a great day! Wind. Snow. Drifts. Lots and lots of all sorts of birds. It was great. Even an all-you-can eat pizza/salad buffet.

“Yeah, like you need an all-you-can eat buffet. So jelly belly, how come I was not invited.”

Because your table manners are not all that good.

Yes, today was great. I saved the association well over $1000 today. The grader had a broken worm gear and to replace the whole unit with a rebuilt one was $4000. To order the parts from Cat was $2500. To order the part from John Deere was $963. I found one in Florida at a parts house for $148 with tax and shipping. Pays to shop.

Today the winds were very peaceful for me and even now looking outside as the dark clouds run from the setting sun, it feels good to sit next to the heater and think of a poem.
