…or something like that.
It was another exciting Pinochle night at Casa del Gatos and the home team was victorious. Yay, us!
We’re off to the southland for a couple of days to visit with the folks. I should be able to post from there if the new network is cooperating. Everybody play nice.
The lake is about 60 feet below full. We’ve seen it much lower in the last five or six years so this is not really a problem. The only concern we have this year is that the snowpack in the Colorado Basin is pretty dismal for January: about 60% of normal. We’re going to need a few more storms before spring.
We’ve had some great days this winter, not too cold and not nearly as windy as last year. It’s nice when going outside doesn’t mean four layers of clothes and not being able to get out of the truck. A little more snow might be nice but I’m willing to trade that for this.

Suzanne and Mark joined Lisa, Ted, and me for a drive to Alstrom Point. We were a little worried that the roads might be muddy after yesterday’s rain but it was not a problem. The roads were perfect and the weather was incredible. It always feels good to make the effort to get here and enjoy the isolated beauty. It’s even better with friends.
A little something from my walk with Ted today.
No matter that the sky is uninteresting, there’s plenty to see on the ground.
