Max arrived today after visiting my mom in Minneapolis. He’s here for Abbot and Meagans wedding week. So nice to have him back here.

the snow is amazing so we immediately got out on skis

Later in the day we braved a trip out .. though the roads were a mess with new snow. We went to harbor freight and lowes for parts for several projects max weas doing for Abbot and Meagan’s wedding..  then we stopped by rebars .. he had been plannign a fluffy gatehring. but most people had to bail because of the roads.. Marie and Lefty were there.. They all know max.. so it was nice to all get together !

Gabe was supposed to be flyign in today.. he’s hard at work on his thesis.. so his plan is to fly here.. work like crazy.. then jump out for the wedding. His plane got canceled at the last moment in Chicago.. it was 9 PM so he was facing fininding a hotel to satay until their 6AM departure the next morning. Luckily Deb was on the same plane.. and so was our freind Elliot.  Deb called her (and our) friends Suzie and Rodger who came and picked them up.. wined and dined them.. agave them a place to sleep then took them back to the airport in the very early morning.. What would have been a terrible drag turned into a party ! Here’s a picture they sent 

So nice to  have  the boys here !..

Today was valentines day .. truth be told.. not one of my favorite holidays.. too commercial.. We show our love for each other every day.. which is a great thing to celebrate every day. <3

We decided to enjoy the wonderful snow we have by climbing camels hump and butt sledding down. Our freinds Mel and Binh joined us. It was a beautiful and cold day. Quite a climb in the deep snow with only our spikes.. 

We ran into mour frind brusce on the trail. whcih was nice 

Awesome day .. 
Happy valentines to all you lovers

Today was a good day foer my shop. A work project i’d been working on for several months was finally ready to head back to work. My buddy Arlo came by with one of our trucks to help me move it. I am soooo happy to get it out of my shop. i’m proud of it, but not sorry to see it go both because it clears up space in my shop.. but also ‘cuz it clears up space in my brain !

first thing I did was clean up my shop thats bwwn crowded with this thing and its related parts since before xmas

Ahh.. feels like home again !
