Well, I'm thinking about doing a write-up for the next HOB Newsletter. It's kind of technical though and can't really be abreviated into just one post here.

Actually, I was just poking at Scottfab one day while discussing some technical issue. Can't even remember what it was about. LOL

Naah ... you're thinking bugles ... and a bugle as large as a tuba/sousaphone would be ugly. The horn pictured is a recycled (i.e. giveaway) sousaphone given to me many years ago. We've used it as a mail box, yard art, and it's currently serving as a planter with ivy all around the base and flowers out the bell. I've been saving several brass instrument bells including a huge sousaphone bell with the idea of assembling a tiered water fountain for the back yard ... too many other projects so haven't gotten around to building it. Needless to say we have a number of tuba (and other musical) related memorabilia hanging around the house & yard ... not sure if it's great art but it never fails to strike up a conversation, especially with first time visitors to our home.

No snow here today ... supposed to be sunny and mid-sixties ... might have to go for a drive and see if I can manage some triple bursts.

I hope you NE guys and gals are hanging in there and riding out the storm.

We had 8" the other day -- no big deal in Wisconsin




Do you know how hard it is to launch at 2800 on snow? Tires would not hook up ...

Man there's a lot of snow out there! I've been out for over 6 hours. Doug, got your power back?

Drop your tire pressure to about 20psi.

Well, the snow came and went not a problem with the Honda snow blower Jennifer and the kids bought me last year for Christmas. However the furnace quit on me! Woke up yesterday morning and it was 55 degrees in the house!

Had to buy a new furnace (Trane) and decided to upgrade the air conditioner at the same time. We got almost 27 years out of the original furnace and air conditioner. House back up to "normal" temperature and can't wait until summer when I can chill this place down.

Home ownership is a wonderful thing.
