It has been snowing all day. Yesterday's forecast was for the snow to stop by early afternoon. This is not the weather I like to schedule farm chores but I have waited too long and not they need to get done. The manure pile needs to be dressed up so I can get more in. This stuff gets more compact as it composts. The composting process is more efficient if you stir up the pile every week. If you let it go too long, it is a real mess to clean up because you do not have any room for the tractor to maneuver. I spent a few minutes trying to un-install QuickBooks 2004 beta and failed with an error message, “An installation support file could not be installed”. I will call the support line on Monday.

We saw Lord of the Rings after my son got out of school. This made for a challenging trip home from the movies. The roads were sloppy and lanes were hard to see. I am glad we did not go to Va. Tech today. I imagine West Virginia/Southwest Virginia roads can get real hazardous with weather like this.
