Currently 54 degrees in Central Maine.

The 20" of snow I got over the past 2 weeks is reduced by 2/3. Solar panels totally clear. Raining for the past 8 hours...no signs of letting up.

When the weather turns and winter resumes, the freeze is going to make travels down and up my driveway a real thrill. Glad I got a 4WD Ram just for these occasions.

No precipitation, a Tad Windy. Rather nice forecast for the next week. I’ve yet to test my 4WD Canyon. When the opportunity presents itself, I’ll probably stay home.

DUDE!! I like the sound of your geography. My long gone Dads #1 criteria when purchasing property was not being able to see his neighbors Homes or outbuildings. Can you see your neighbors?

We once had seclusion and now we don’t. Get Old, move into town. Attempt to adapt.

I have 50 acres, but have met most of the neighbors.

Next summer - the big project - adding 14' x 14' deck extension. Will change the usability factor by a lot.

On edit: I'm 72 but think like I'm 25.

I’m 70 and wish I were 15 again. Healthwise I’m early 50s. Attitude wise I’m mid 20s.
