Then it all came back to me.
Had a blast and the 30 year olds with me couldn't believe that at 63 i could out skate them with ease.

Ice is building up pretty fast. Everything coated in ice, even vehicles we cleared and were out driving in earlier. Temperature has fallen 10 degrees in past hour into the teens. Not sure it will have made any whether we shoveled and used snowblower when it is all said and done....

So sorry to hear this.
Since I live in Newport I am one of the 7,000 without natural gas for heat thanks the national grid ... we drained all the water lines and heating lines this morning. Might not have heat for a week.

We're back to normal. Logistics are difficult when you are 1000 miles away but everything is fixed and back to normal. had a zone valve fail and resulted in no heat in one section of the house. |

Played on a mens league into my late forties.. the 20 year olds hated meeting up with me at the blue line. 
After they realized they couldnt get past me they usually resorted to taking slap shots at me. |

They probably didn’t have a hammer in their hand all day either...
