Snow is coming

We usually only get snow 2 or 3 times a year in this part of NC. So it's definitely a change of pace for us.

And I bet retailers are very unhappy that this critical shopping weekend is going to be snowy here.

Here on the west side of RTP they're expecting an inch of snow during the day on Friday and another 1-3 inches during the night. And more on Saturday! Wheeee. And those temperatures are pretty damn low for this area. Brrrr!

I think it's time to go a little further south to where Kim lives and hide out until that nasty snow is gone. Assuming the roads are okay Friday night: here in the South driving when it's snowing out can be.... funky.

My kids is supposed to drive home from the DC area on Sat. and we are supposed to go to the Angus Barn Sat. evening. I bet neither of those things happen!!

Ugh! All week, they said the snow wouldn't come inland... but they've changed their minds. (Typical... we get good weather forecasts for weekends -- until the last minute!) It still will be better here than nearer the coastline... we expect about 3 inches, while the shore will get a foot if it doesn't change to rain. I guess that Christmas shopping will have to wait....

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
