Today was the 2008 grand reopening. Well almost. This morning we left home only to drive trough a blizzard, that was only for two hours of the trip. We made it up in our normal time. When we got to Domek this is what we saw.



We had to hike through the snow to get to the house. Who knew how much work it is to walk through 2 feet deep snow. You will notice the house did not collapse after I removed a wall in the basement. And there is a 4 foot snow drift  on the roof.

The first thing I did was to turn the power back on. Then the heat. Then I went back to the car and picked up Max "the Cat" and Susan too.

After about an hour in the house I noticed that the furnace shut off. And was like 30 degrees in the house. I had to call someone out and fix it. A condensation line froze, I thawed it out and the heat if fine. But the water is another story, we have none right now. I have to wait for the line between the well and house to thaw out....maybe tomorrow, maybe a few weeks. Maybe I will have to call someone.

We are staying in a Motel this weekend...Unless the water line thaws out. I doubt it. Max is staying at the Motel too, he is freaking out a little.

We went to dinner at local favorite place named Tula's. Normally we have all you can Eat fish fry (AYCE). But today it was only the 2 piece dinner. And I took one piece home. It was very like my parent's, they used to steal the rolls and pieces of fish from the all you can dinner menu.

After dinner we walked over the Super Market to pick up a few things. Susan need to look at the magazine section. The had all the good Wisconsin Magazine. Not only did they have Walleye Magazine, they had Crappie Magazine. But, they had the best one of all BASS! I would have been lost with out my Bass. So we loaded up the cart with my Bass in tow and went back to the motel.
