Weekend in Review
Sunday morning, I did some running around, including a stop at Eleven winery for a tasting and a nice chat with the wine maker and his wife, a stop at Furry-tail Farm - the island animal sanctuary, and a run to Silverdale to pickup the re-framed print.
Turns out Eleven is almost walking distance from us (ok, it's a half hour walk, but hey) and they rely on volunteer labor for all their crushing and bottling. He got his start after showing up at a local winery and volunteering to help - three years of apprenticing later, and he started his own winery. Sounds like a grand idea - so I put my name on their volunteer list.
I got home and decided to take the RS out for a "test ride" after the repair. It's been chilly (evenings into the mid teens, mornings in the 30's and mid-day in the 40's), so I suited up and made a loop up into Kingston (where there was snow on the ground in the shadows). I got cold faster than I expected, so I cut the ride short in the interest of safety.
Dawnise didn't get home 'till fairly late, so I spent the afternoon taking care of stuff around the house, watching a little Firefly (Out of Gas, probably my favorite episode), and reading. Yesterday Dawnise and I basically hung out at the house, doing a whole lot of nothing much. Good stuff.
