Snowstorm blew through here last night so just one more thing before we can leave for the big city. Pack, put the house in maintenance mode, clear snow and then head into town. My next post will be from sunny California!

You’re not old enough to be a snowbird Charlie.

Here in the USA we have what's called a porta potty.
If you have ever worked outside, you're very familiar with going potty in one.

Speaking of working outside, Bob Vollmer is retiring.

At 102.

Bob Vollmer, Indiana's Oldest State Worker, Is Retiring At 102 : NPR

He has been working for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for nearly 60 years, as a surveyor.

And he has a great first name, eh?

Mrs. Racer and I went to the movies last night.

Guess what we saw.

Winter storm warning out for today into tonight, snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
Lots of schools closed, it hasn't hit here yet, but will soon.

Nothing of the sort here. We still have some patches of ice here and there, though. For some it's too much.

We came across this on our walk today.

Ouch.

No studded tyres. Tsk, tsk.

Hey Racer, good job it wasn’t a X-T3! (Sorry chaps, couldn’t help it. Hope all was ok.)

No, it wasn't an X-T3.

Up to date using GPS too.
And, he wears Harley suspenders.

Gastro and colon? Hope they have a tube for each.

I don't know.

I suppose the equipment is cleaned and sterilized after each use though.

My second visit with Dr. Alien Anal Probe was a double whammy. It wasn't Dr. Hawkins back then but Dr. Ekaterina Knowlton. She went down the inlet, and up the outlet during the same visit, having a look from both directions. I have no idea if the gear was the same for both or if it was cleaned between insertions, as they put me under completely for that visit.

And hey, it has a CMOS sensor, so it is every bit as good as a K5IIs or a K-1.

Even a "cough cough" K-3.

Still ain't buying one though.

We didn't meet any Canadians on our walk today, but they've obviously been here!

Oh, not taken with a K-3.

Doh!

All that effort and presumably the tree fell the wrong way!

I would guess the beaver was aiming to drop the tree across the water.
