Good morning all. I'm hanging around inside the house a little longer before I get out this morning. No ice today, just rain falling as wannabe snow. It ought to be full daylight by now, in truth it is hardly brighter than the moonlit nights of this last week.
The Grillo mower is mostly straightened out. Not exactly showroom quality, though as with many of my repairs, my ambition is only to pass the Kyle functionality test. If the weather hadn't been as cold, I would have treated it to a coat or two of paint in places. Instead it has had to be content with a new cutter drive belt as the impact had shredded the old one.
Lenny, that looks quite a view out from your top deck.
As everyone else seems to have been looking you up on the map PJ, I thought I would have a little peek at where your home town was too. Until I zoomed close in, I thought there was something wrong with the map, as we rarely see such a neat and tidy grid of streets that all cross at 90 degrees. Apart from the arrow straight roads built by the Romans, most of our streets wiggle around to follow the contour of the hills, or the course of meandering streams and rivers. That style has been emulated on newly built on land with the town planners throwing in a curve or two where none was really needed, other than to match the expectations of those going to live there.
