Well we got about 7 or 8 inches of snow last night and this morning. It was light and fluffy and the Ariens had no problem at all with it.
They were predicting anywhere from 4 to 12 for us so we made sure we had all the ingredients for goodie http://laparkan.com/buy-tadalafil/ plates for various Christmas gifts.

So yesterday and today we made Chocolate Mint Squares (Grace DeMore’s recipe), Oreo balls (Alisa’s recipe except we didn’t have any sprinkles.), and the perennial favorite chocolate dipped apricots, and this we added banana chips, pineapple, mango, and papaya.

You know you miss this 🙂
Yes the snow has begun. As it often happens, the first snow of the year was on the Lopano Christmas party weekend. It was not a big deal since it was only an inch or so and the roads were still warm. Today is the real deal:

Art and I are scheduled to switch over the Ariens this afternoon. Hopefully the snow won’t get so heavy that the blower won’t handle it. Yes that last picture is me holding my new Droid as it charges. I am not going to activate it until after I get back from Kevin Martz’s next week just so I have plenty of time to fiddle with it.

It’s a wrap – and hermes appears on the scene

Many years ago, Betsy expressed envy at Dosie’s industrial Saran wrap dispenser. So we bought her one. This had to be at least 15 years ago. We only pulled it out when we had run out of the little 100ft boxes you get at the grocery store.
Finally, finally, it ran out:
Clear cellophane wrap

I don’t know if she knew it was about to run out or not but a few weeks ago, the following kraft paper dispenser showed up at the door. Here it is in place, ready for Christmas gift wrapping http://www.mindanews.com/buy-accutane/ duty.

And after a few years of duty at darack as HAMS, the hoard’s application machine, this machine has morphed into the new Camp Cornell media computer. It has a Visiontek Radeon HD 3450 graphics card with HDMI out as you can see below:

Right now it is just waiting at login. As soon as the wireless keyboard/trackball shows up Thursday, I can login and see how it looks.

Found the Pool leak

I was getting a little nervous. Leaks, like anomalies in program execution never “go away”. We had not lost any water in the pool from when I opened it until last Sunday. I was getting nervous because as it gets closer to pool closing time, I knew that if I closed it without finding the cause of last year’s water loss, it would happen again. Last Sunday evening the Aylaians came over for a swim and the girls did a lot of diving (and churning up the water). Sure enough, starting Monday morning, we were losing more than an inch a day. It has been hot and very humid so it was not evaporation loss. Finally Thursday morning early (about 6) I was letting the cat out and decided to go look because the level was so low. As I just walked around the edge, I saw the slit. It was about 1″ long and when I rubbed it with the brush, I got sand plumes. I got the patch on as soon as I got back from VBS. Water loss has stopped.
