I did get the garage door sealed. It has been leaking air for a while. The edging on it had come away slightly from the frame by the door banging into it. I screwed it in and then added a nice rubber seal all around. Its tight and sealed well. A bit hard to close and you cant just fling it closed now. Its working much nicer with two days past. Not that the garage... which is finished and insulated is super cold.. It does have two vents in the wall though so its not "sealed". Next on the garage list is outer seal on the sides and the bottom door seal. Plus I have to relocate bins and put up the spare mattresses... That will need rope and verification that my hooks are still in the wall. It also needs to be warmer. I was planning on doing it today but got told off. No problem.
I did also go buy two more 50 ft hoses so I could fill my pond from the garage deep sink... I did that yesterday while it was above 40 degrees outside. I had to thaw the original hose at it had frozen water in it and the back spigot was getting spitty. I have covered the spigot with a cover so I hope it will stay normal until this summer. So.. yes... the pond is filled and good. The pond is nice and scummy for the fish to stay warm in. Now all three hoses are emptied and rolled up in the garage.
I did I did I did.... while waiting for the pond to fill redo the old front flower garden cover. I had asked these people.. paid them well too to clear it of weeds and a bush then cover it with ground covering. The got rid of the weeds and bush but did this thin little strip in the middle of covering cloth. So I removed the few rocks they had put on it to keep it from blowing away and cut two more lengths and covered it correctly and even tucked it under the existing plastic then laid pavers nicely on it until I can order up a ton of Santa Fe red rock to cover it.
In all.. If you want it done correctly you have to do it yourself.. or direct it done. No more of this.. Here is a list.. go to it.. and then they bugger off before you can point out their mistakes or corrects to make. Nope.
I got a lot done over this last three day break. Could have been more... Oh well.
Here are a few crops of pictures I took on the drive out to Clines Corners and back. I have loaded a nice portfolio of all of the good ones if your interested... I have more in there that I touch on but I am saving them for another day.

The original shot of the top crop. Through the frozen trees.
The whole Albuquerque valley was covered in fog. Could not see the city nor the other side of town.. but as we hit the highway it broke up.
Eastward Hoooooo....... What was strange on this shot.. hahahahaha....
We tried to drive up the road with the truck in 4 wheel drive ( duallies in back ) yeah....we skated over the snow and slid to a stop... Not happening.
A nice crop of of a truck in repose on the side of the road. Most big trucks shrug off the cold and snow and move along.. this one... well I think it was sleeping.
On the Fallout 4 scene... sigh... After having two settlements invaded by synths in large numbers.. seven to nine at a time and the game not resetting correctly and it getting worse and worse and then more raider of gunners, raiders, and mutants... I was wondering if all the trade routes I had put out was causing the insane amount of raids going on. There is no easy way to stop a trade route and now that I understand the way they can be set up I could have done it much better. I do have some seriously chillen power armor now.. and all the scrounging I have done has given me a nice load of pieces and parts to mod with.. Now to up my science and build trees to upgrade more. Learned also that walls wont keep raiders out as the game will spawn them inside.. Only gun turrets will help that so now I have as many gun turrets pointing in as I do out of a settlement. Next is to shield the planting field and gennies and water sources. Too much to do and I am a bit sick of it right now.
I have a bunch more photographs to upload to the web site after I edit them and also the Cloudbouncer is waiting for more info so I can complete it.. I have already gotten my list of things I want to complete at work and some training to do done...... But I have to remember to get home at a reasonable time to get stuff done there. Back to the regular work week after all these back to back holidays.
Hope your holidays went well and you are looking at the next year with a positive outlook. I am trying.... I am wishing for summer.. even though I know when its here and bleeping hot out that I will want it cold... Are there any locations where its mild all the time?
Gotta get out and take more pictures.. must edit on my favorite wall hangings so I can get them out to sell.. so many things to do but not in the mood for any of it.
Stupid brain.
