Preparing for winter

We are going to put snowtires on the winter vehicle, our Outback, this weekend.  This means we’ll be parking the sedan for the duration, and being able to take it out for a drive again next spring will be something to look forward to all winter long.

We bought a stationary bike this week, and got it put together.  This will be our source of aerobic non-impact exercises all winter long, instead of buying insultated winter boots and risking life and limb walking on the road.  It will help a lot in rehab for my knees and by next spring I should be able to dance.  If I ever could dance, that is.

"I don't get it. How do I reach the pedals? What are pedals?"

No doubt Mishkin will be trying to participate by getting in the way when we are using this.  The seat slides forward and back, a useful feature given that Dan and I are 10 inches difference in height.  We can see out the windows in the sunroom from the seat, and it is so quiet, non-electric, it won’t interfere with watching television.  It does use batteries for an electronic readout.

We also need to get a funnel to facilitate changing the oil in the generator, and we are going to change the angle on the solar panel arrays today since the sun is already much lower in the sky.  The days are noticeably shorter and we need to take advantage of every bit of sunlight that we can get.

The next time we see moisture out of the sky, it promises to be solid.
