| Roads to Weigold Preserve, to Noah Lane to Kollas Orchard to buy apples and then back on Noah to Tobiason Preserve and then through Comtessa Woods to home. Temp in the low 20's with plenty of wind chill but 5 layers and the Mad Bomber were too warm at times. Followed by a nice nap on the sun porch. |

| Home to Nathan Hale Homestead and back. Test hike to see how long it will take to get to the Farmer's Market at its new location. Roughly 10 mile round trip. I guess I'll use the bicycle most of the time. |

| Cancelled scheduled morning workout for major freecycle opportunity. One of the neighbors put out a few hundred feet of 4' heavy duty flexible plastic fencing for the trashman. It took a while, but I got it all put away in the barn. Will use some to add height to the dog yard and some for the new chicken run. |

| Trying out my new Winter Walker 22" from LLBean. In Yale Forest off trail. Looked for steep ups and downs and was really pleased by how well the snowshoes gripped. Successfully bashed through several laurel thickets to see if I could without snagging too badly. Had intended to do the New Year's Day hike at Gay City with MHC but this was much more fun and a better workout. |
