Friday morning – Medicare – WTF ?

We got out for an early morning  morning hike.. we’re trying to get out whenever we can since we’ve gotten so little snow this season. On the way home from the trail we ran into our freinds Carol and Kim.. Carol is Dianes boot camp coach… She and kim run 10 miles a couple of times per week

The rest of today  was interesting in a very confusing way. I met with one of our financial advisors about Medicare.. I’ll be elegibal in a couple of weeks and I need to choose a plan.. Yikes.. so many choices.. and so many things to think about !…My head is still swimming

so much so that I woke up in the middle of the night.. it was a great time to go down stairs and drink a cup of tea by the fire.. t

hat makes everything better

Thursday – Gary and Owen

electronics.. thats a combo I really like    In the afternoon my freind Gary and his son Oren (also my friend.. I’ve known him since he was born) came by Beta for a tour. Oren has just declared that he’s studying Mechanical Engineering at UVMN.. and wanted to see what Mech E’s do.. I gave them both a quick tour..  I was able to show him a ton of stuff… which seemed to resonate with him. 

 

it is always fun seeing how amazing this place is through  friend’s eyes !

Wednesday night – outage

Last nights storm was incredible.. . I think I mentioned that  last night the wind shook the house so hard  that it woke both of us up…   THe power went out several times.. as it was predicted to do.. At 3 AM our power was out, but both of our neighers were on… but then one at a time they both lost power. We woke to find the electricity on….

But many folks in the state were not that lucky.. Check out this map of power outages as of this morning.. 

 

We consider ourselves lucky !
