Almost 9 pm and its been snowing all day, now well over 6 inches. Forecast was for maybe 3-4 inches mixed with rain, think maybe they got it wrong. As of tomorrow snow tires are mandatory for any driving on main roads, I've got an appointment at Kal Tire in Williams Lake on October 10, sure hope I don't have to go in before that. Will just leave car until this stuff melts, supposed to be warmer mid week. Pix of my car just about when snow was starting to stick, maybe 9 am. 2nd pix is screen shot of Environment Canada's Tatlako weather page. Update. Monday morning car pix. Somewhere around 8-10 inches. Neighbors Len & Jo came on Monday 24th with the quad and brush hogg, Len cut all my yard, with some of the toadflax weeds well over 3 feet high. Jo used weed whacker to cut around trees, steps and up close to house, etc. Yard sure looked better, now nothing ugly sticking up thru the snow.   The socks I'd been knitting for the MONSTERSOCKKAL, will inste...

Spent a good bit of time after lunch resetting my Apple password, have now typed it so many times that not likely I'll ever forget it. As of right this minute look like change is successful. Now hopefully I'll be able to send email from my iPad. 30 + rows on the foot now complete on Monstersockkal sock. Using Hazel Knits for the main color and odds and sods for the patterns. Second sock will again use the blue and probably change the order of the pattern colors. Went out to Tatla last Thursday for blood letting, again my INR is to low, so DR changed the amount of Warfarin again, must be 5 changes in last couple of months. So much so that I am now writing down the amounts. There was new snow on all the west mountains last Thursday and once up out of the valley snow along the road almost all the way to Tatla. Will be getting my snow tires on when I go out for Desert Mesa just after Thanksgiving. Prolly around October 9, will soon phone Kal Tire and make an appointment.

Difficult to find something to write about on the blog, haven't been anywhere nor have I talked to many on the phone, just plain boring life (and I wouldn't have it any other way). Now that football is on 5 days and nights a week should be getting lots of knitting time (pro and college). Neighbor Len Knight came up yesterday to look over my not working furnace in wool room, he and his electrician buddy think it is a thermal couple, called place I bought furnace and jerk I talked to said they don't carry that brand anymore, said he would try and find one and call me back, not. With freezing temps forecast for next week or so will let small electric heater try and do the job. Still working on a Monstersock for KAL, not at all sure  of where they will go, especially since instead of casting on my usual 72 sts I somehow did 76, so they will be plenty roomy at the top of the sock. Have already decreased down to 72 and will do two more dec until I am at 64 somewhere around th...
