Clearing the snow to be ready for tonight's storm, then clearing out "stuff" to make room for the new garage.
Then after lunch, continuing research on the USAF Lockheed Constellation "Columbine 2", the reason for the name Air Force One. Hoping to gather evidence of its Connecticut connections, to show to potential funding sources in order to bring it to our museum and restore.
Here's a sample, showing President Eisenhower arriving at Bradley Airport (Connecticut) in 1954, on that aircraft, USAF 8610. He received an honorary doctorate from Trinity, then gave a speech.
The aircraft (now in Arizona) is looking for a new home.

Spending the afternoon playing poker. Then the game with another group of friends. Too cold for the garage. I've already loaded up with firewood and am ready for the next snowstorm.

I'll be out taking pictures with my camera, or spending time in my freshly cleaned and organized garage (want to enjoy it while I can as it never stays this way very long). I may glance at the TV once in a while as I traverse the living room on my way to the bathroom.

My garage is in Frozen hibernation, but we spent the afternoon at the local art museum attending the ceremony for the Scholastic Art Awards. Then we went to the opening of the exhibit showing the students work. My dot got an honorable mention for a portrait she drew. Now we're home an I have to get to work on this weeks GramDragon comics to upload tonight. I might see some of the game. I gotta go get some snacks.

Given the time-zone differential... I'll sleep through it all.

Game didn't start here until 4 PM (apparently), I'm watching the news right now... Just did my usual thing this afternoon, church in the morning, flea market in the afternoon ($5 for four old photos), then went for a walk and took a few photos... Then leaving the grocery store, my jaw dropped when there was a Jensen Interceptor FF right in front of me
on a rather average winter day for Alberta, meaning snow and slush, more on that in the Spotted forum...

We ended up scanning the show until "Downton Abby" came on....and then we watched that.
After DA was over, we switched to the game and caught what was apparently the best part.
To be honest, we were out of the house during the pre-game, which was our biggest loss (to us) because we're both fans of the silliness and humour of Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. And I can't find a stream of their pre-game show on any of the usual website.

A bunch of guys who went out for a drive on Super Bowl Sunday, in California... The Super Sunday Drive Wish I was there, slobbering at some of the cars, still in mid-winter blues up here with few classic car sightings... Just a post I got in my e-mail just now...

Although some of us up here in winter wonderland like to do ice racing, even with a Porsche 914...

Great pics James, thanks. I look at the cruise pics and yearn to live in a place where I could park by the ocean like that on Superbowl Sunday! And as much as that, I delight in a time when cars actually looked different - and not just the fancy ones, Fiat, Mini, AMC etc.
(And this thought for the day just popped into my head. If they all look the same, could they at least standardize the parts?)
