Snow

   / Snow #52  
Motel rooms almost always feel cold to me.
We were there for the Chili Bowl for four nights and the first three nights the heat turned off and on overnight now and then if I was awake, I would hear it turn on or if I was going to the bathroom I would hear it turn on but Saturday night we got back from the race late so we didn’t sleep the best because it’s later than we normally go to bed and I never heard the heat shut off every time I would roll over in bed I could hear the heat running and the heat was at 74° and the room never got above 68°

Finally got down the drive today. First time out in a week. Concrete drive has quite an incline and I didn't want to slide across the street into the creek at the bottom. Neighbor brought some salt over yesterday afternoon. Sure was getting tired of looking at 4 walls.

When I was working away I generally had my dog, which meant that I often got stuck in smoking rooms... paying extra for the privilege. There is a motel down in Gorham NH where I often stayed, always in the same room. It was on the end of the building facing the highway and always smelled like stale beer for some reason.
The nastiest place I ever stayed was a Motel 6 in Bangor Me. The carpet was so dirty that I wouldn't even walk across the floor in my bare feet...

All that's remaining now - uber thin patches of snow. Last couple days the temps hang right around freezing. Lots of ice patches also. Makes walking around the yard quite exciting.

:eek:There's excitement and then there's excitement. I liked the challenge of navigating icy patches especially when I was a kid, but I'm under no illusions about the risks. I've seen too many folks in serious trouble after a misstep. Stay safe!

All the best,

Peter

The snow is all gone here now. We are getting rain every day.

But the temps - WoW!! Yesterday it was 52F in the PM. I'm just waiting for the hammer to drop and the winter snows to return.
