And Now For Some Snow!

 This week, the cold continues, but with snow added in for flavor.   What would winter be like without snow?   ( Hint:  Just cold!)  But with the snow.. And the Cold...  Toss in a little wind,  and you have a recipe for a Blizzard!

Just a little one.   Lasted only a couple hours.   And pretending to be a "Storm Chaser"   I decided I would take a walk down to the park to see what all the Winter Warning Panic was about..   Why not?

Visibility was certainly limited.   And the snow was coming in from a angle...  Which is always a good sign.  But I finished the walk with just a light dusting on the hat to show for it.   And a bit of a chill. 

I think it is good to occasionally expose yourself to the extreme weather conditions.   It makes you appreciate the limited warmth and shelter a drafty house can provide.   It also make that hot shower and warm beverage that much more enjoyable.    

And the Cat is always there to show you, just in case you miss the obvious.  

Another Saturday at Haribo.   I'm beginning to fall behind in my "normal" stuff  with the work taking all of my free time.   And I have been so  "Low Energy"  lately, that I simply find myself sleeping until I wake up for work!  I just have no energy to do any errands or go anywhere other than my living room.. before work.  

And by the time I get finished,  it is dark and nearly everything is closed.   So I come home, pet the cat, watch a few Youtube videos and then go back to sleep.  Rinse and repeat!

I used to at least go for a run before work.  I wonder what happened?  If I'm honest,  I know that the running injury played a part...  And now it is the weather that is causing an issue.  But I barely have motivation to even do any calisthenics! 

Perhaps old age is finally catching me.  And this is the chronic pain and fatigue that makes old men grumpy.  Ah well...  We had a good run while it lasted.   And everything has to come to an end eventually.  Farewell the Youth of my past!   [*Wave..Wave...Wave*]

Other than that,   I chatted with Dave on Wednesday.  He had already left on Tuesday to visit his folks and was on his way to Canada when the Lake Effect Snow hit his travels.   It sounded like it was slow going on the highway... So he had time to chat.   It was a nice conversation.  

I don't really like long goodbyes.   They feel awkward and strange sometimes.   But there are times when I simply don't want the moment to end, and find ways to extend the conversation just so I can eek out a few more moments with someone.   Especially someone who has been a good friend for several years.   

I'm sure our paths will cross again.   Who would have ever guessed that Dave and I would have linked up 25 years after Alaska?   With our paths winding all around several states,   who would have ever guessed that we would have met with similar circumstances.  But before this post gets too involved,  I better wrap it up,  as it is late ( after the Haribo Shift)  and I have Church tomorrow. ( early!)  So hopefully, I will have the instpiration and fortitude to write a true post about that tomorrow.   

In the mean time...   Try to make every second count.
