 It was a warm 2 degrees out this morning. Yikes!

I logged into work as our slow moving crew got up and ready. They left on their snowmobile excursion around noon.

Moe has had two instances where he has been nippy. He unprovoked snapped (didn’t bite) one of our lady friends. Another where he snapped at one of our guy friends (who wasn’t wearing a hat or a beard. Ugh! Both instances I was right there, but reinforced that he can’t be trusted.

I had a quiet and peaceful house to myself to complete calls throughout the afternoon.

When I was done, it had warmed up to 9 degrees and I had to work on my fitness for the day. I took Moe for a walk in the woods on the snowmobile trail. We were out about 10 minutes. He had a blast.

I then proceeded to do my physical therapy and ended with a yoga session.

I had some time to kill so I worked on a presentation I volunteered to do at a Vet Tech college. It is not something I am doing for work, just trying to give back to the college I went to.

I had the Vet Tech college that I am on the advisory board for ask for a presentation as well, so I worked on getting that set up. If you asked me 20 years ago if this is what I would be doing for fun, I would have said “Hell no!”

I made a big batch of chili and threw in some rosemary bread to warm up for the crew when they got back. Well they had stories of a a crash, stuck sleds, another crash (no people or sleds injured….until they wake up tomorrow….probably. Oh yeah….and a hooker from Arizona that traveled up north in the winter to “buy a car”. Or whatever that is code for?

My day was a bit more peaceful than theirs. However, I enjoyed hearing about. I enjoyed seeing the smiles, and a shared memory…..10 years from now.  “Remember the time when Sandy crashed her sled….twice in one day?”
