Tartarus Sauce

 

Supergiant Games does it again with Hades II, the sequel to Hades I obviously. This company just has the secret sauce for making fun, engaging games. I hope they keep it up.

Back In The World

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a week of trying to stay off the roads and not go anywhere, today I ventured out to do normal Saturday stuff. Hit Costco, the grocery store, and stopped by our local Wild Birds store to stock up on seeds where they were having some kind of crafting event. It was nice to get back to normal after iceageddon.

I took this off a section of Maggie's leaves and was surprised it stayed in one piece. Here's a little magnolia tree ice art to cap off the storm. 

 

Fern Six

 

 

It's Fern day six and probably my last post regarding the storm. Not that everything is fixed, there are still a whole lot of people out of power. But as for us, we're fine, the streets are clear, and I'm back at work so not much more to report.

 

For the first time since the ice storm it got above freezing. Just 33 degrees and no sun behind the clouds but it was still enough to get a real thaw going. In this video all the rain and crackly sounds are from things thawing out all around us. Enjoy the birds too, especially a crow making it's presence known. 

Still Skating

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I managed to get off more than I thought I would, so that was good. But there's still a hunk in the middle that's firmly stuck, and only the very bottom step is safe. The others are deceptively clear, but coated in a thin, but very slippery layer. I'll try again tomorrow and keep working at it. We don't want anyone falling. 

Dad came down and we went out to dinner. It was so nice to leave the house and see that life was getting back to normal around town. But we had to go in and out via the garage, no way we were taking a chance on these bad boys. 

Unfriendly Entry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our biggest issue, which again we know is small potatoes compared to many, is our front porch and steps are thick with ice and impossible to walk on. So I started to chip away.
