About an inch of new snow overnight. Just added to the 10 inches already here. Supposed to have major snow Tuesday/Wednesday, a traditional Nor'Easter they say. We will see. They continually overhype snowfall amounts . We almost always get less than half of what they predict. Normally doesn't matter, we don't have to go out if roads aren't good. But I do have a physical therapy appointment late Tuesday.
Making corned beef hash for supper tonight. I can't remember last time we had it. Looking forward to it.
I may have mentioned that my niece and her husband opened a restaurant last fall. They have seating for about 35, but 90% of their business is take-out. They are only 3 miles from us, straight drive, one right hand turn, no lights or stops on the way. Very convenient and the food is just wonderful. Portions are huge, I get 2 meals out of most meals I order. Last Saturday I had the smoked prime rib, queen cut, end cut with baked potato, mixed vegetables and roll. I ate about 1/3 of the meat Saturday. I had 1/3 of it on Monday with mashed potato and the last 1/3 I sliced thin, heated and stacked on a brioche bun for supper on Wednesday. 3 meals for $22!
We eat from there too often. 3 times last week, twice so far this week.
Our second vehicle is a 2008 Honda Ridgeline that we bought new in April 2008. It has been "my" car and since I stopped working, it hardly ever gets driven. Has just under 100,000 miles on it. Gets driven about 3500 miles a year. And I just learned is is under recall and likely will be a buy-back from Honda as the frames rust under the gas tank and can't be repaired. Now I am looking for a replacement truck. And I hate it. I expected that truck to last me another 10 years. Honda will pay me about $7000 for it and I can't find anything comparable for under $20,000. I hate the thought of spending $13,000 I didn't expect to for something driven so little. But we do need a second vehicle and having a truck really is helpful.
