Kids were home for spring break, tax season came and went, as did several weeks with no blog posting. My bad.
The Memorial Death March went well this year. Stu and I beat our time last year by a couple of minutes and, despite the wind, the course seemed a little shorter this year. One veteran of the original Death March walked 9 miles; he is 93 and spry and a role model for us all.
Spring is here. Rides into town each morning are warmer and the number of wildlife sightings are way up. We had a small herd of 9 deer in our front yard last week. A couple of weeks ago I followed a skunk down Black Quartz Road (gasp!), and Monday I had a close encounter with a bobcat on my bike ride in. It looked like Nom, only more spotted and with a quite large head.
By the numbers: The photovoltaic system has generated over 3500 kW hours. The days are getting longer, and our best days are generating over 24.5 kilowatt hours. And since January 1, I have biked or walked nearly 1500 miles. (Did I mention that gas is close to $4.00/gallon!)
