Oversize load and a ride along

 One day on my way to work I got behind a couple semis hauling oversize loads. Whatever it was they were hauling was tall and narrow. They kept moving over to the other lane and I couldn't figure out why they were doing that. Then it occurred to me that they were trying to avoid low branches and anything else that might hit the top of their cargo.

Another day on my way home I propped my phone up and turned on the video. This is over 4 minutes long and not real exciting but if you feel like driving along with me a bit you can watch

Last week at work

 Last Monday February 9th, I knew I was going to be alone all day at work. The other girl was going to the Bradford office to cover for someone who is out on medical leaves. I got a call from the bank that one of the checks deposited on Friday wasn't signed. I told them I was alone but the other girl would pick it up the next day.

Tuesday morning, the other girl didn't show up. First I thought she was going to pick the check up before she came to work because I had sent her an email telling her about it. By 10 she still wasn't there and I thought maybe she had gone to Bradford again. I called our manager and she told me that the other girl was out all week on bereavement because her step mom passed away.

I put a sign on the door that I went to the bank and picked up the check. Then I thought as long as I'm out I'm going to stop and get lunch so I went to Arbys.

It was a long week being there all by myself but I handled it and there were no major catastrophes. 

I see the moon, the moon sees me.

 I let Gibbs out the one morning and saw the moon peeking through the tree.

This picture was taken on 2/10, the post was written on 2/15. We still have snow on the ground but a lot of it is melting. Hopefully by the time this publishes it will all be gone.

Teaching an old dog new tricks.

 I tried once years ago to learn how to knit and could never get the hang of it. I decided to see if I could teach myself now. I've got lots of yarn to play with and knitting needles aren't expensive.

I figured out how to cast on and knit. So far so good. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do anything more than simple things but it was something new to do.

I also purchased a 4" pin loom. I thought it would be an easy thing to take to work. It didn't come with any directions but I looked up weaving on a pin loom. I got lots of different videos but none were helpful and none had looms that looked like mine. I got very frustrated and gave up. I'll keep going back to it to see if I can figure it out but I don't hold out much hope.
