Another snow storm came in this weekend, and we haven't seen the ground in weeks. I don't ever remember a winter like this. To me colorado has always had plenty of snow, but this year it keeps coming and doesn't meet between storms. I don't mind too much though. It's been my job to plow the seven miles of dirt road leading to the ranch whenever a storm comes through, and I've really been enjoying it. One of the best parts about it is taking Bec with me. The last time I took her I told her we'd be back by 8am. I was planning on just taking a quick pass to clear the road. However, the wind had been blowing pretty hard all night. The road was pretty well covered in dense heavy snow. I got the truck stuck and took about 45 minutes to dig myself out. Anyway, I didn't get bec back to the ranch until about 10:30. When all was said and done, the road wasn't clear to drive until about 6:30 pm. It was a crazy day.
The snow this weekend wasn't so bad though. It just gave me a good excuse to work in the wood shop on my coffee table. If you know anything about it, you know I've been talking about it for about two years now. I'm using all traditional joinery and because I don't have lots of power tools, I am doing it the slow way, with chisels and handsaws. I have really enjoyed it though. after two years, its really starting to look like the finished product. I'm guessing I still have about 15-20 hours of work remaining. So....its getting close...when you consider its taken me over two years to get this far.
