Journal Notes
- my last run though/over maintains for a while... very glad.... the Andes don't tower as high down here though, which is good.
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.  AME says "like new",
- In RW, Marg and I cleared snow off the septic tank area of the lawn and cut a path through the snow to get there.  Also cut a path of snow to the heat pump.  Had some scrummy gallo pinto for lunch with some glorious sunshine to melt the sun and warm our hearts.  Watched the Blue Jays beat Baltimore 10-7!  We worked on the need/want list for our next house, then had juicy BBQ steaks for supper.  I got a bit of colour in the sun.  A good day... God is good.
