Made it back.
All works well with the exception of the disposal, it doesn't. We've been expecting it's demise for some time now; had to use the wrench to get it turning after any trip. Now I can turn the shaft with difficulty and the motor can't. So, today is disposal day.
Weather is perfect again. Had the first "major winter storm of 2013" pass through last night. Have to look long and hard in the shady spots to find any trace of it here; guess it did snow a little higher up. Sunny and breezy now with 38 degrees. Perfect. Waiting to hear from the Teagues who should have just returned from their trip to Arizona where they got to experience at least two snows.
Back to projects, trips to Portland (first is next weekend) and still fine tuning the nesting. I'll try to get some photos worthy of posting. Till then,
Stay Warm!
