Like the others I have enjoyed reading everyone’s posts. @Old Ski Bum, Iove your analogy of the record. That pretty much sums it up.
Severe weather on the way and will stay with us overnight. Made sure everything outside was put away or closed up. Made pickled beets and baked cookies. Discovered a chafing spot on the dog from her harness. Put witch hazel on it and switched to her collar. During the winter we walk/hike about 6 miles a day. Come summer not so much. She’s a husky so very heat intolerant but we more than make up for it in the colder months.
