    [mention=12503]WinterWolf[/mention] [mention=1154]dryslot[/mention] [mention=2152]Lava Rock[/mention] Quick update on my sled saga.  As I mentioned before, the RCMP found one but the other one never turned up.  I went up the weekend of the 14th to pick up the recovered after the insurance company declared the other one a total loss.  State Farm reimbursed me for the gas, hotel and storage fees related to me having to go up and get it.  The money hit my account within a matter of hours after I submitted receipts.  
    This past Saturday, I took the recovered sled to a Ski Doo dealer to have them go through it.  The estimate to replace the front bumper, belly pan and the stolen LinQ gas caddy and tunnel bag is $1,361.  The parts will be in this week so that should be done next week.  Now I just wait for the settlement for the second sled.  
    Wow, somewhat good news. How far away from where it was stolen was it found?

    Not that uncommon at 44N and above, but I can recall only 2 post-equinox events in NNJ that featured accumulating snow thru the day.  First one was March 29, 1970, which happened to be Easter.  Snow started about 9 AM and dumped 11" at temps low-mid 20s, ending in the evening at our Morris County home.  2nd was on a NNJ visit (we lived in Fort Kent then) when the forecast included a winter storm warning on April 19, 1983.  Snow began at dawn and continued until late evening - had some issues accumulating midday but never quit.  We measured that one also at 11", but in Ogdensburg, Sussex County.  (Three years later, on our next visit to New Jersey, a cold rain on April 22 turned to snow in the evening and that deformation band dumped 13" of paste at our friend's house, about 1,200' asl.  Down to the center of Blairstown, about 500' asl, they had a sloppy 5-6".  We wondered if they'd ever let us back in NJ.)
    Always amazed how you can pull dates and events like they happened yesterday. While sitting here with some wine, i was reading through my 1993 journal when i was going to Orono, but parents still had lake house on great pond. That season started bad but Feb made up for it. 115" on the seaon with 3' on ground early march. Here's a fun photo of me on the 88 Ski Doo. Good times. 20260322_143312.jpg

    We talk about weathers fraud 5... how about life's? Go to bed early so you can feel extra refreshed in the morning... and wake up feeling like shit. Seems to happen every time! Where's the caffeine!?
    Quite coffee cold couple wks ago mainly as an experiment to see if I'm less anxious, lower bp. I'm a 2 cup per day drinker. Headache set in about 5 days after I stopped, everyday till this week. Been doing decaf for now

    Not looking forward to it. The ground water level is like an inch below the surface here. Every sump pump and dehumidifer in the neighborhood has been running like crazy. How's it out that way? 
    Send it up our way. Looking at 1". We'll take more
