Good Morning, Everyone,

It's a chilly one here. All that warm weather yesterday melted the ice and then everything froze solid (2 degrees this morning). My car tires were frozen to the floor of the garage!! Almost all of our snow is gone. The big storm with 2-3 feet of lake-effect snow is to our west and south. We took down the Xmas tree yesterday and Rusty seemed genuinely disappointed to see it go. He's been sitting in it's spot! Here I thought all along that he didn't like the tree. I caught him once drinking the tree's water (filthy: full of tree resin and old paint from the stand). Weird!!! Anyway, we had a good night, a good test this morning, a mild "ouchie" shot (Rusty pulled away and the last half drop didn't get in), breakfast (1st sitting), lung treat, and a brief comforting hug on the futon, next to where the tree was. Then I had to take Edward to his first yoga class of the new year. When I got back Rusty was asleep in his little bed by the radiator, so no schmooze.

I'm getting my gear ready to climb St. Regis Mt. tomorrow. I ordered a pair of Kahtoola hiking crampons (longer spikes than the microspikes) and they came today. I can't wait to try them out. They will be perfect for the ice conditions we have encountered thus far this winter. The climb is supposed to be on snowshoes, but it doesn't look like there will be enough snow for snowshoes.

Wishing you all a good, healthy day. Healing vines to all who need them,

Ella & Rusty

Nice AMPS! I think Rusty was just contemplating how best to make use of the freed up space!

Hello Ella and Rusty. Ouch on the cold in your area! It sounds like Rusty is missing the tree. Good luck and have fun on your climb tomorrow. Don't forget some pics.
 
Re: 1/7 Rusty AMPS 148

Sounds like a good day there. Sorry about the tree Rusty. It will be back in 11 months! Have a great day Ella!

Blues are good, Rusty :-D Bring it down to some green, please! I know you're sad you lost your spot, but you'll find another one ;-) I hope you managed to get your car going :o I've had that happen! I'm glad Rusty is having a good day. Sounds like some good shoes to have, lol. Maybe I should get some for just walking around my yard :lol: Hope your Tuesday is going well!

That's better, Rusty! Slide on into the lagoon. Kahtoolas are made in Flagstaff by one of the Gores (Gore-tex). :-D

Nice start for Rusty this morning. I hope he gets over missing the tree quickly. Have a good climb tomorrow. Wow on your tires being frozen to the garage.
 
Re: 1/7 Rusty AMPS 148

Yikes on the car being frozen to the ground! I haven't had that one happen yet in all this crazy weather. Poor Rusty missing the tree...it must have felt cozy to him through the holiday season. Gorgeous AMPS...I hope he had a lovely surf today. Enjoy the climb tomorrow!!

Hi again,
Rusty captained the Blue Team all day in curling practice. I guess it was a rest day, of sorts. The cat slept! I put away the rest of the Xmas stuff, chipped ice out of the garage, got my stuff ready for tomorrow. The crampons were not easy to adjust, but once adjusted you don't have to do it again. I'm still not sure if I will use them tomorrow, since I haven't tried them out yet. I will probably just go with my microspikes. There isn't enough snow for snowshoes (the hike leader checked out the first mile or so this afternoon).

Hope all is well in LL.

Ella & Rusty

p.s. to Devon and Ann: Great to hear from you. I've been thinking about you. Stay warm up there, Devon. How's the new kitty, Ann?
