Seriously, dude! So that's why the kid couldn't just be dropped off earlier...he wasn't there! Lying liar who lies!
It's a beautiful day here in the White Mountains, too. Sunny and mild. I think I'll go split some firewood in a little bit, with my new Christmas axe!
I have a ton of work to do too, but all my non-teaching work is work from home anyway, so no big deal. I should probably also eat something at some point. Oooh, which reminds me, the kettle is probably hot on top of the woodstove by now.
It's pretty great. It's got a shorter handle, so it works better for my stature. I haven't taken the ribbon off, I just use it all bedecked.
yikes, sarameg! Were you up there to clear the eaves?
Ice dam. The spout off the main roof is poorly engineered for when it is this cold and melting starts. It freezes up and the water backs up to a weak point in the mortar around the top on the spout and comes in through the bedroom ceiling. Only has happened a couple of times, but I am now thinking of getting a gutter heater coil to put up there. Getting on the roof is a PITA. Especially when the ladder blows down because the grabby things are no match for this wind.
I now feel like Liese's Christmas axe could solve everyone's problems.
Who gave me the roasted broccoli soup recipe? I just pulled some out of the freezer, and it's still so fucking good! Just what the doctor ordered.
