We received a lot of nice light snow over the past couple of days, so things are looking quite scenic. The temperatures were low at the start of the week, and the truck wouldn't start on Wednesday. Fortunately we were able to get it towed into cold storage and it started up in time for us to go and flask in the afternoon. Back at the station we celebrated Thanksgiving on Monday, and had the Sunset Carnival on Friday. Sunset involved such exciting events as golf and blind volleyball, as well as the crowning of the king and queen. Neither of us won, and much disappointment ensued. However, we remain king and queen of the GAW Lab. Take care everyone, and have a great week. Steph and Brad
