It's in the teens at night and just a little snow remains in the shade of the out buildings. I threw together a basement work bench and some lighting for it. A place to continue work on the cb450 motor, close to the basement wood stove. I carried in all the parts from the garage/shop related to the head and cylinder rebuilding. I'll have to get re-acquainted with it all.

         I'm working through the book - The Walk West, A Walk Across America 2(Pat and Peter Jenkins-1981). Just today, in my reading, they left New Mexico and walked over Slumgullion Pass-almost to Lake City Colorado, where they met some folks with an empty cabin-and they offered them...for the whole winter! They just had their first big snow and the guy's exploring the ranch, Vickers Ranch, they are on. A fine place to transport myself on December 25th.
