Here are a couple of sunrise photos I think turned out pretty good. Nice of the bird to fly by. Good timing on that photo.

So we are using up the last of the comp time my wife has to take before she loses it. Went back to Hilton Head Island last week. It rained on the way down last Saturday and rained hard and heavy all day and night on Sunday. A little drizzly on Monday but then it cleared up and was nice, but a little chilly the rest of the week.
My wife went on a treetop zip line tour. I stayed on the ground and took photos. She loved it.

We had 16 inches but it finally quit this afternoon. It warmed to 46 so some started melting.

Now see, I am jealous. We love snow! Especially when it comes in then goes away.

Bet you could make a great snowman with all that snow, and the melting makes the snow stick even better for snowmen.

We also did some shopping at outlets and got some good stuff for our needy child.
(You pick the name of a child in need from the angel tree then do Christmas shopping for him or her.)
Then on Thursday night we went to the Hilton Head Art Council's production of "An American in Paris."
It was fun, but I get a little bored with musicals. It could have been about half the length and still been good.

This snow is too wet. It just collapses to nothing. I tried to make snowballs but no go. I think it needs to be a bit drier. It is the strangest thing—when I put my boot down, the sides of the snow looks blue. It’s really pretty but strange.

I'm liking for the shopping for a needy child and going to a musical, but I can't like you getting bored with musicals because I LOVE musicals...especially being IN them!

It was better after freezing overnight and thawing a bit!!

Ok, the battery life on the Chargy McCharge-Face Fitzcracker SUCKS! I basically have to charge it every day, and I looked it up because that just didn't seem right. The article I found says the battery lasts UP TO 5 days, and that to save the battery, I should shut off all the features. So....basically, what you're telling me, is that I should just not use it, and then the battery will last? What kind of carp advice is that? It recommends turning of the feature for tracking heart rate, which was basically the reason I got the charge 2, plus the feature where it displays the time and such when I move my wrist into position like a watch. Um....if I wasn't going to look at the time, why would I be moving my wrist to that position? It takes the place of my watch, which I kind of need at work. And it also says to turn off notifications if I get a lot of messages, which I don't, and I have yet to see a notification when I do, so THAT can't be it. And finally, it said not to use the "2 minute relax" feature too often....multiple times a day will drain the battery. I have used the feature exactly twice in 4 days. So...apparently I'm supposed to save the battery by just not using the device.

You're a very smart man first for marrying your dw and for staying on the ground.

Maybe I wouldn't hate the stuff if it went away quickly. Nah I'd still hate it

I'm lazy. I grab a few things and drop them in the Toys for tots box.

I'm having a love hate relationship with the holidays this year. Working around my ever eating home schooler and making a good portion of gifts is leaving me little time for much else. :joyfull:
