2010 Going into History ....

Greetings Everyone -
Yesterday was a day of play - while I cross countryed skied, Erine drove the snowmachine out on the lake and around. We finally got the snowmachine up and running - thnaks to our neighbor who came over the evening before to help us out.

The day before New Year's Eve --
Ernie driving the snowmachie out on the lake.  He had fun 'opening' it up and zooming around on the snowmachine trail.  Later, he took me for a ride around the island - out on the frozen lake close to the shoreline..

Ernie hauling water in the snowmachine trailer before the days end. Then, later that evening, the temperatures rose, rain fell and the wind blew.  The wind gusted so strong that it snapped the fin off our windmill - sending it sailing to land by our outdoor fire pit.  The windmill continued to spin without the fin giving us much needed amps but not good for the windmill.  We couldn't secure the blade until the next day. Now we'll need to have a new fin construced before the windmill can be fully operational.

With the change in weather - the strong winds blew the snow off the lake and rain gave the lake a new look.

We wish each of you a Happy New Year with new adventures, good memories and much joy!
