altivoPoor mate is sick with a bad cold, spending much of his time sleeping. So I got to do all the chores myself today, as well as what I usually do on Saturday. Not impossible, but, whooo, a lot of stuff. Also drove down to Union to pick up bedding for the horses (they have a once a month sale, today was the day) and managed to squeeze a dozen bales into the Jeep. Started to snow again while I was there.
The ABS warning light has been off, but on the way back the ABS activated at a slippery corner (I was already nearly stopped, which is usually when it goes on for some reason) and then the warning light came on and stayed on again. I guess it's going to have to be looked at.
Weather says another inch of snow, but we already have that and it's still coming down. Actually, though, if it's snowing that means it's not terribly cold, so I'm not complaining. Wind is from the south, bringing moisture up that is turning into snow when it hits the cold here I guess. I'm glad I got some good rubber boots last spring. Only wore them once, it was so dry last spring and summer. But they're great for all this snow. I did two hours of outside chores at dusk tonight and my feet stayed dry. Yay.

Sorry, it's late and I was in a silly mood.
Have a great week Tivo and I hope your mate feels better soon.
