Beautiful day to have OH to ourselves.
BP BW seemed fine to me, although I did lose it once because of snow melt. Again, it might be gone altogether in the next few days. Louann the dog approved of Brutus. Hillsounds were barely cutting it on the steepest sections where snow was softening but we made it up and down OK. |
