Winter

We got nine inches of snow accumulation in the mid. Feb. winter storm we got in 2021. 

I had a good lesson on winter driving this winter the main roads were pretty good but our street was very slick had been plowed. I had to learn how to use four wheel drive in both rigs. I did an untinotential cookie in the road two doors from home I had to knock on the neighbors door and have their high school age kid show me how to put it in four wheel drive. He did not know how to drive a stick shift so I drove myself out of that minor pickle I drove around the block. 

Talked with my son who clears snow in the winter for one of his jobs we had a good talk. He suggested I look on you tube how to put the other rig in four wheel drive and then get to use it and drove around the block.  We did not loose power had heat and water is good yea!

The snow is gone here now, today we had sun and rain and I could see snow squalls in the mountains in the area around us. 

I did lots of snow clearing for my exercise that week and got out my snow boots both pairs one nicer one for town. I do not need those every year. Deep snow does not happen but every few years like seven to ten years. 

I made a snow angel , snowman and snow creature it was great to play in the snow. I have two snow shovels one for the front driveway and one in back for the deck and patio and trails. 

I am looking forward to spring and the time change in two weeks. The bulbs are blooming I have snowdrops in bloom in my backyard. 

Security

I have been having some security concerns with tech stuff. 

having to make some changes. One of the issues have been found. 

It was fb the tracks when you are not on their site. I had to go into settings and 

turn that off it takes a couple of days to clear it up. I deleted history. Keeping the fb 

acct. but taking it off my phone if I can figure out how to do that. 

But glad to have found that tech. hole! 

Transitioning out of old school methods to newer ones has been a journey.

[Will not bore you with my whining about a winter cold.]

I have been declawing the paper tiger shredding old dead files needed 

to happen again and I am in the midst of that and making good head way until the shredder died. 

I had to get a new one. The newer models have wheels. 

Some have a three min. time limit, others had 30 min. time limit. So I have 

been doing sorting and shredding rounds. 

The living room looks good but the office is plowed under piles that  need to 

be dealt with, empty containers from shredding efforts ect. the dining room table 

a rather large one is where I have parked stuff from the living room needs containerized

and it is next up on the docket.
