Power is back out again.
It's thawing out and ice chunks are falling like snowflakes.

C • Falling like anvils 4

Nice ski with Coach LD and Bash at Mansfield.
Melting ice and soft snow made for a waxless day. Lots of branches and stuff down, but still good skiing for us, all things considered. Nice and quick at times.

Terrible day for numerous beginners who provided many obstacles on the downhills.

Woo hoo, now we have power we can head out to Highlands. Perfect Classic conditions, perfect skis, magical snow-covered forest, did everything once but my knee asked me not to go out again.

Came back home late last night to power! Refilled the plumbing, ran the dishwasher, but it's out again today. Sigh.

C • Power! 2

New study showing meniscus surgery may not be better than placebo for arthritic knees, but still helps for athletic tears.

Still no power, and woods unsafe so I did foothab, kneehab, workout 2 and KBs while listening to Wiretap podcasts. We kept the house warm enough burning wood, and are managing without running water.

Still no power here today.
Palgrave came on intermittently after 8:40am so Bash drove me in, I had a shower and saw a few patients. The forest is impenetrable on our trail due to a jumble of bent-over frozen branches and saplings, so no hauling logs out today. It'll be a death trap if the wind comes up too.

The big stuff on our lawn (large tree chunks) are iced-in solid.

Iced in again, and too dangerous to go out and fetch wood from the bush. No power either. Oh well, lots of firewood at home.
