Saturday night – Convergence point

I think we can finally say it’s winter here.… It is between 10 and 12° all day. It was partially sunny and beautiful. Diane ‘Kyle and I decided to snowshoe bushwhack up Gleeson Brook off of Bamforth Ridge. We decided to go further than we’ve ever gone and we went about 5 miles in snow but it one point was about waist deep. We went up and down it’s pretty insane stuff… And crossed a couple of Rivers but we got to this point we called ” convergent point”… It’s the start of Gleason Brooke and it’s about 1800 feet up… It’s a beautiful Creek Valley really nice waterfalls when it’s not covered with snow.… It was absolutely beautiful

Check out the ice in my beard…

I came home and promptly fell asleep in the bathtub

Now that’s a nice day!

Friday night – ski bums

Busy week… Though I don’t feel like I accomplished that much. I’m very grateful for it becomes Friday.… My first meeting was not until almost 10 so Diane and I took advantage and took a quick ski around the West Bolton golf course. It was beautiful up there . West Bolton seems like it’s in hidden Valley… No people, no cars… Just lots and lots of snow

As we were driving back we ran into our friend Phil… He looked quite colorful and contrast to the snow

The day passed pretty slowly…

Around dinner time I took a break and we replaced all the glass Lobes on our ceiling fans so that they all match and I’ll fit the larger wirelessly controlled lights. In the process of doing that we found that one of the fans had a badly bent blade. The only explanation is some sort of kid based hijinks somewhere in the last 25 years.… I don’t know what the story was but it must’ve been pretty funny .… Better still we never heard of it… Going to see what I can learn from the kids

High Point of the evening was sharing a beer with our friends Tim and Priscilla.…

OK… Time for bed. More tomorrow

Nite all, nite sam

Thursday night – Quiet day

Was a quiet day around here… Kept snowing which was nice. Dean and I got out for a short couple of laps around the front field on skis.… It wasn’t just quiet here… It was really interesting to watch and listen to the news.… It was strangely peaceful… I know we’re still facing a ton of challenges… Especially the pandemic… But it was really a completely different mood.… Not sure how long it’ll last but I’m enjoying it
