01-28FEB21 - Sultan, WA (finally progress on covid vaccine:)



February starts off good, we finally get on a list for covid vaccine thanks to Rebecca being a county health care worker & we help her with child care.  We get first shot on 04FEBJ

Tuesday, 09FEB, Dan heads into Seattle UW medical facility for treatment/therapy on left pinky that has dupuytren contracture.  Because the condition was caught so soon, no rehab is needed this timeJ


Saturday (becca’s birthday) wake up to discover winds increased thru night along with snow.  Snow did not accumulate because wind blew it off yard.  Corrie’s garden shed that we repaired last month was destroyed (but our repairs heldJ, & one big evergreen hemlock downed!  Wind & snow continue until afternoon!  Sunday freezing weather with blowing snow; roads are ok now, but tomorrow rain/sleet forecasted probably making roads icy.  Monday temps hover around 32/34 degrees with light rain/sleet all day, makes unplowed roads (like ours) black ice.  Hopefully warmer tomorrow?  Tuesday temps mid/high 30s, snow & ice start melting; Dan clears decks/patio of snow.










Friday, 19FEB, good weather; re-stake some trees toppled by high winds; Dan works on clearing downed hemlock.  That evening we meet Rebecca, Raymond & grand boys at SeaTac airport hotel for dinner & to say goodbye to Raymond who is deploying with his National Guard unit for a yearL  Unfortunately there car’s rear window was broken out during the night.  We won’t bother you with the details of the repair, but it took four different attempts over a month to finally get it right.







Dan tries to ski several times Stevens Pass & leaves ski area as soon as getting there; because no staff, most lifts not running, too many people!!!  This ski season has been a disaster, might be time to ask for refund?

Last day of month Dan starts on building new greenhouse for Corrie.  This time it will be over-built like all of Dan’s “construction” projects🙃!
