I woke up this morning and noticed this sunrise.

We can tell up here by the sun's position on the horizon that spring is just around the corner now/

We have a skylight over the throne room and I was concentrating and just noticed a sliver of sun hitting the floor. Yup Spring is on the way.
I also know it is spring when I get the urge to go to the beach.
Today is a material run......

Not too bad down here on the coast...certainly nowheres near the foot plus yet.  Maybe my test run of the emegency genny yesterday has warded of the worst of it.   That plus breaking down and buying my first snowblower (Home Despot had them on sale at half price yesterday).  Will put it together and then can play in the snow wth it.  May take the Volvo Cross Country out in a bit to see how it plays in the snow - really havent had any yet to tell this season.

Dave,
Are you a Cape May resident?   My wife and I and other family members would go there every summer.  Fun place. The last time we were there was two summers ago but didn't make it last summer.   To many things going on at home.
