We are going to put snowtires on the winter vehicle, our Outback, this weekend.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

We bought a stationary bike this week, and got it put together.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It will help a lot in rehab for my knees and by next spring I should be able to dance.\u00a0 If I ever could dance, that is.<\/p>\n

The next time we see moisture out of the sky, it promises to be solid.<\/p>\n
