Snow and more Snow...

It has snowed a number of times here in DaHo. Below, you can see a picture of DaEstate with about 6 " of snow. This is the most we have had since we moved here almost 4 years ago...



Besides the cold, all goes well here. We are winding down from all the holiday fun and recovering with a lot of resting and relaxing. The other day we went to see The Bucket List at the local theater. We both highly recommend the movie. It is one of the best I have seen in a long time. We both laughed and cried until it hurt. Good stuff

Felix, the new kitty, er cat, is growing and becoming sweeter all the time. It is amazing how inquisitive and smart he is. The other day, I had a latter up and went into the other room to get a screwdriver for a second and came back to find him climbing up on the top of the rung of the latter. He just loves anything that is mysterious and unexplored. Put a box down on the floor and he will play with it for hours. He is driving Cali, the older cat, crazy more and more. He always wants to play with her and she doesn't want any part of it. Hopefully, they will both learn to co-exist better as time goes on.

My pool playing is going along. Last Wednesday, I played badly and only won two of my four games. I just wasn't playing well at all and couldn't seem to get focused on the shots. Then, on Thursday night, I was much more focused and won all four games. We shall see how it goes tonight...

I got the new case for the Home Server and installed it. It now has three large fans which keeps it all quite cool. In fact, the closet that it sits in is cooler than the areas around it, because of all the fan air flow

I also got the new emachine PC replaced at Best Buys. Because of the very cheap price I got it for, it stressed their options to replace it, but they finally found one in another store and had it shipped in. So far, it is working well. We might move it down to the bedroom and use it for watching TV as Netflix is now offering unlimited downloading of movies with any of their movie rental plans and it would save a lot of money from having to subscribe to HBO, SHOWTIME and all those cable TV movie channels.

I got my new down parka from Cabelas and it is all messed up. The liner is not down proof and leaks all over the shirts I am wearing it over. They are sending me a new one to replace it. I guess mine came in a new shipment they just got in and somehow they used the wrong materials to build them. Down requires a specific type of containment materials or it will 'leak' out all over the place. Besides that, it is a great parka...

The contractor came by the other day and got all my info on the 'humming' Radon fan under the house. Hopefully, they will replace it under warranty and I will put it in.

Well, that is about all that is 'print to fit' here in DaHo...
