tongue twisters.. Making its way across the country,getting to us later this morning.Here in the northeast- we're expecting 6-14 inches again.Again,Jim switched his day off,and will probaly go in a bit later tomorrow as well,or take a vaca day.Their saying our coast will probaly get the freezing rain-sleet mess that hammered the other side of the nation,but we'll be a snow event in the central part of Maine.All our winter events & activities are doing well here,provided one has a job that you can afford the exspense of extra entertainment.We dont own a snowmobile,but there are plenty crossing the fields in back of us enjoying the depth of the snow base this year-besides we have enough entertainment in remodeling.Seems like we havent seen this much snow since the early 80's.We're all set I think- the last storms' snow scooped out and pushed back quite a bit,knowing we still have 2 full months to go.I've been working on straightening out my pantry,cleaning and chucking.I bought a toaster/convection oven so as not to heat up the kitchen during the warmer months,and for simpler items like a baked potato.The microwave doesnt do a good job on baked potatoes.Since the shoveling up on the roof gets a little too happy-carried away-?..we've damaged a couple shingles that created leaks,in addition to the leaks that are already there and havent found out why yet.Anyways, this summer the whole roof will be sealed,as the exspense of metal roofing just isnt in the budget yet.The sealer should hold it till we can afford the metal job.This morning he'll do a small patch job he says, that'll hold it till we can seal it all later during warmer weather.After Landon & I followed the sound of the drip,then checked out the window to see where it was coming from,found the bad shingle,he looked at me and said "Pappa gonna fix it-? I said yes..he will. Landon said "I think theres a "Poawbwemm". Yes-there is I said, but Pappa is so very good and he can fix that"...now that was a Kodiak moment...
