@HAL4NOW I hope all went well with the Mohs, and yes depending on where it was on your body, get someone else to do the hard work. I love your snow, but it looks like you have a small alien flying saucer in that picture...?? to the right between the two trees?
Thanks; Mohs was a great success and near the back of my neck. Getting someone else to shovel is not an option. At 67 I am one of the youth in our town. I did take it easy by only shoveling our driveway and walkways and the driveway and walkway across the street for an older single lady with major blood pressure issues. I usually shovel a few more locations.
The alien flying saucer is just one of the neighbor’s propane tanks.

Good morning all!
I'm happy to see that the forecast of frozen mix won't be happening. Instead it's rain, rain, rain. Too warm for frozen anything.
Meanwhile, just up the hill in Skykomish, we got about eight inches of snow. I had Mohs surgery on Tuesday morning this week and the surgeon told me no strenuous exercise for two weeks. I said I would like that but it all depended on how much snow we got.
Here is a picture from our dining room this morning.

Today is Forget Me Not Day,
When we were working on developing a trail near Skykomish, one of the USFS requirements for that trail development was to remove invasive/non-native plants. Two of the plants they were specifically concerned about: Forget-Me-Not and Stinky Bob.

Also, I have not seen any mention of an alarm clock in the cabins, or even just a clock in the cabin. we are in an inside cabin so we definitely won't see sunrise lol, I just need to know if I should bring an alarm clock.
Setting up a wake up call is really easy; just push a few buttons on the phone and then the phone becomes your alarm.

Our driver arrived on time, despite Boston traffic, and we are home. Mona insisted on some lap time before she’d eat breakfast. Tucker and Zander each wanted some lap time and Amelia was close by demanding some rubs. Laundry is underway and the yard needs mowed. I suspect dinner will be takeout. It’s still a vacation day?
Did the rain begin soon enough to give you an excuse for not mowing the lawn?

About half way through the immigration line. Stretching the experience by doing an excursion with airport transfer.

Good Evening, a fresh update from the captain. The Zaandam will be in Halifax until at least 11. He said we should get to Bar Harbor around noon tomorrow.
Thanks , Jake,
we were in the Hyperion Knight show and didn’t hear an update announcement. We are scheduled to meet for our HAL excursion at 8:45 tomorrow. Hopefully they will be able to reschedule it.

Had a great time today in Halifax. We dodged most of the rain showers by jumping back on the HoHo bus or ducking into a building. The fog continues to roll in and out.
Just seconds between shots of George’s Island from a deck chair on the promenade.
Went to the art museum with Maude’s house and art (and a lot more), walked the public gardens, stopped at the Fairview Cemetery and walked the area around the Titanic markers, had some Cow’s ice cream and Smoke’s Poutine, stopped into the Basilica, and walked the boardwalk . We had gone to the Atlantic Maritime Museum and the Citadel on the way up to Montreal a little more than a week ago (in the pouring rain).
Halifax is a wonderful city to explore.

We planned to use the hop on hop off bus to get the lay of the land in St. John’s. Got to the purchase point before 9:30 and bought tickets for the earliest one available (11:00). We walked around and did a little sightseeing for about an hour and then went back to the starting point for the Ho-Ho. When the bus showed up at 11:00 no one got off from the 9:00 run after riding it all the way around. Only eight more people out of the forty tickets sold were able to join the bus. We opted to get our money back and then walked up the steep St. John’s hills and stairs to the Basilica of Saint John the Baptist, The Anglican Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, the zero mile marker for the Trans Canada Highway, and a few other sites before returning to the ship for a late lunch where we were greeted by the same Newfoundland dog that greeted @Crazy For Cats
After lunch I went back into town and walked up to Signal Hill, walked a trail and then back to the ship. Good day overall.

Be Late For Something Day could be dangerous if you are returning to the ship after all aboard time. On our excursion yesterday a couple in their late eighties didn’t make it back to the bus on time. We waited an extra half hour while a few people were out in the streets of Quebec looking for them. Eventually the tour guide had to make the call to return to the ship. Thankfully the couple found their way back to the ship.
We are just now docking in Baie-Comaeu; the sun is breaking through the marine layer and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.
I enjoyed walking around the full promenade this morning; Watching the ripples from the ship while hearing the deep sound of fog horn.
