Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.

Plans and Research


I will be sticking around south-central Wisconsin for the next six weeks. There is much to do with the process to get my son ready for independent living and college, along with a high school graduation party to plan.  In the meantime, I also have some planning, preparation and modifications on my Scamp trailer–the Brew Hut.  I won’t have time for much Scamping this summer, due to other travel plans, but I do have plans for an extended fall trip.

Modifications under consideration are upgrading the battery, replacing the carpet with vinyl plank flooring, upgrading the mattress, changing out the dinette table, deciding whether or not  to get a  generator and/or an inverter,  and a few other things.

We had another six inches plus of snow today.  Last year, we had a few days in the 70’s by this time of year.  What started out as a fairly mild winter has seemed to go on forever.  The wood stove is warming my old bones tonight,  but  I’m ready for a little “screened porch time” and warmer weather. The weatherman promises changes soon for the better.


Tonight, I made Moroccan slow cooker chicken for the family.  Julia celebrated the continuation of winter with a glass of Castle Rock Pinot Noir, while I sipped on a Deschutes Black Butte Porter.
