We've had very nice, warm weather up here this week. Yesterday and today both were in the 50's. The snow is melting in quite a few places too.

Mike & Trish got back from their mini vacation for New Years. They brought with them the parts Gary needs for the snowmobile he uses. It needed a new piston and rings. (The top of the piston should be smooth not pitted and broken.) Gary repaired the snowmobile, only took a few hours and now it runs extremely well! Best of all--we don't have to have Gary shuttle us all to and from work. Being the driver is much better than being the passenger.

Gary made Chicken Marcella last night for supper and it was wonderful! With all the chicken I have I'm thinking he should be cooking this every week. Of course that means we will have to go shopping for more Marcella wine. Might as well go next week for my birthday and enjoy a few days back in civilization.
