BTW, it thought about raining here yesterday, then decided no way. Dry and waiting. We had a little snow overnight and temperatures near zero today. I decided to play hooky. So did the kids. (Actually, school was cancelled.) After cleaning the cars and driveway the boys and I brought the old Flexible Flyer sled over to the hill in the back yard. It was supercharged, today. Due to the extreme cold, the snow stayed very light and powdery. My youngest son and I went on together for the first run and it took off like a lighting bolt. Even I got a rush of excitement like I was kid and began whooping it up and yahooing nervously as we gained speed and felt the hard bumps underneath us of ice and rock. It was way too much fun! The sled traveled way up onto our neighbors property. Further than we had ever gone before. At one time I began to wonder if we were going to stop in time to avoid their driveway. It sure is good to be a kid... ...at heart. -RocketBoy
