I’ve never stood in falling snow. I’ve been up the mountains seen it on the ground lol
And it looks better than it really is! It is still coming down out there. Probably 3-4 inches so far. Should stop soon, they were saying anyways.

I remember many years ago a friend visited from Arizona in mid winter, and he had never seen freezing cold, or snow. He said he couldn't even comprehend it until he saw it in person. It is more fun when you are young and can ski and such...snowmobiles were fun too. Once arthritis kicks in....well that's why Florida exists, lol.

Busy busy day! Lot's of snow removal, wet heavy snow that felt like liquid concrete...repaired the winch on the plow and ordered a new winch cable, set up a furnace install for my friends 80 y.o. dad, tore my gas fireplace down again....the fan quit again. Lubed it up again, got it working and ordered a new one. Hopefully it lasts til then.

Wanted to do some transplanting but it's 8 pm and stick a fork in me, I am done!!

Had to stop in to the Velcro plant yesterday, textile manufacturers are the best at organized processes.
This place it the size of a larger shopping mall and nothing is ever out of place.

Two separate processes of weaving, dyeing, napping a fuzzy cloth & bonding an extrusion of plastic onto a backing material .
Creel room where it all starts.
Enormous robot pallets work on another line at extrusion. Humans just open hatches and feed it. This is all strung by hand.
