they did clear the drive.  But, as with other drives, the problem is snow pack is becoming... difficult to get out of the way.  So, he asked a friend, with a bigger machine, to help.  Which... was going to happen, but a tire blew on it as he was getting it out and going.

Not complaining, just noting that everyone has problems, but still gets to things.  They are changing the tire, and will be back to it, probably, tomorrow.  Me?  I am grateful.  I don't worry about when.

I couldn't even have cleared the front of the drive today.  Then again, they were having problems, even with the heavier machines.  It was six to eight inches, with ice.  Heck of a thing.  More snow than in a lot of years, if as mentioned I think Logan gets hit harder than out on the valley plain, so this may be the heaviest snow since I have lived here, for this area.

And, I offered a few cans of food.  I don't know if they will like it, but it's what I have.  I love it.  So, for me to offer it is... a real gift.  Not much of one, but at least a sign of gratitude.

And, possibly, set up an arrangement to get my oil changed.  Synthetic.  I'll do the work, just need some equipment allowance.  And, maybe, some advice.  Never done it before.  Will need oil, a filter, perhaps a filter wrench.  Not sure what else.  Will check wiper fluid, but just here at home.  And, while at it, will do a few other checks.  I have the manual around somewhere.  Would like to check a number of fluids and such while at it.  Though, if those are easy to fill, don't need drained or such, I can fill those at home, if need be.  Hmm... would like to get a checklist of things to do, check, observe.  Ugh.

Today, though, mostly resting.  I burned myself out a bit yesterday.  All good.  I'll go slow, enjoy, get something to eat, and sort a few things.  Oh, with lemons, beside setting up some for mid-term storage, I'd also like to make my first stab at making mascarpone cheese.  It was available at the store, but was $4.50 for, say, 250 grams?  Or less.  I'd guess maybe even half that, to be honest.  So, yes, something worth making on one's own.  Not sure I have much use for it, other than special recipes.  Still... might... experiment with it in various things.

Mascarpone?  Here are some ideas.  I will be using keto noodles, of some sort or another, but it's all the same.  And... probably my own version for additives.  Still, the idea is plain, clean, easy, versatile, and looks tasty.  As for desert?  Doable, just with some ingredient changes.
