For Der Alte Fritz. . .

 

A handy photograph from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

 

After a warming trend with rain midweek, the weather has turned cold again, new fluffy snow is on the ground, and trail reports from up north are for very good (cross-country) skiing this weekend.  The skis are brushed down and ready to load into the car later today for another weekend jaunt to Northern Michigan following a haircut this morning and a few other work-related loose ends.  

Blame my all-consuming love for the winter on Kirk Douglas, Richard Harris, and the fetching Ulla Jacobsson.  'Live to XC Ski!' as the saying goes on a favorite bumper sticker decal.

In other hobby news, painting continues apiece on the Young Master's 3rd Garrison Regiment of infantry.  This week saw work on the two drummers.  Photo updates coming soon, but I think I've just painted two of the nicest drums ever.  Beautifully rendered heads, hoops, and cords without making a mistake.  Hey, it happens once in a great while.

Happy Weekend everyone!
