Snow is still too hard to make angels, I was walking on top of it today when I was passing the baseboards through the window..

Maybe some of this Southwest breeze will warm you up.

That is what our local weather moron is trying to convince us of for Sunday. With a day like today its hard to convince us of anything but warm days ahead.

We've had sunny day for close to a month straight now but it just refuses to warm up. There was no snow here this time last year except for in the shaded spot in the forest..

Take your time. The boss lady won't be calling anyone else to come in to finish it, unless you die on the job.

There was a time earlier in the month that I thought it wouldn't warm up but it did. Now we have to get by this glitch coming Sunday, that will also pass.

She's not in any hurry, I just like to get it done when there is something to do. We had the bathroom planned to do but when we heard the flooring was coming on sale I told her we should do it all now. We didn't have enough cash saved earlier or I would have started it right after new year. Now I'd like to get as much of it done before the cruising season arrives..
