It is *Snowing*

The New Hybrid Snowblower, originally uploaded by mikemilton.

This is a shot from last year but our hybrid snowthrower is all set to leap into action when this storm subsides.

This beast moves 90 metric tons an hour, has computer controlled drive to optimize speed vs snow load, and throws 60+ feet.

Snow Birds

Yesterday was our first big snow (and our first power outage).

So we unstepped the mast on the sailboat, moved the generator into place and, importantly, put out lots of seed!

One segment of the video was shot at 720P60 and slowed down.

Evening, Still Water

Every now and then one gets a perfect evening. The steaks were on the BBQ and I just took a moment to walk to the bottom of the rock steps by our side door to take this shot. Moments later it was dark and we settled in for dinner

Sailing

Well, no pictures, but I managed to get out on the Hobie for a brief sail today. 'Guess that makes for the latest sail of the year (so far anyway hehehe)

Hope had a *long* day
