After a fun couple of birthday days for the Brick, it was back to work. The Brick also spent a few afternoons ferrying around a friend who had a hip replacement -- and researching a future repair on the truck. I put stuff away and worked on reports. Exciting, huh...but all were necessary.
More of same this week, too.
The snow is gradually melting, with sunny days...but a bitter wind and occasional snowflakes keep the outdoors chilly. It IS trudging toward spring, isn't it?
