OK- thanks a lot everyone :(

I picked up the bug going around.
Feel like I have been hit by a truck- fever, aches everywhere and can't think straight.
I knew there would be some cost for hanging out on this forum with the likes of all of you and this is it...
On top of that the power is still off for a couple of more days.
So fair warning- keep away from my posts for a few days till this thing blows over.

Weird sleet/ice storm in MD this time. It knocked off more branches than the big snows of last year it seems.
Hoyt, yet more evidence of the cooling coming down the pike..

 

..and it is good to have a wood stove that isn't dependant on outside power. Don't run out of matches.
