Starting the New Year in the Freezer

It was an especially cool day - low of 33 - and especially windy - gusts over 30 mph. The night last night was one of those rock'n and rollin' nights. New Year's Day was so cold we had snow in the hills that are just north of the RV Park. Josie snapped this shot of the snow level in the hills:

It is very rare to see any snow in this area, but this reminded us of seeing the Tetons in late May. The forecast is for warming - of course, where else could it go - and will be in the seventies by the beginning of next week.

The activity is heating up at Aramark for staffing needs for the NFL Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl. Reportedly, there are many hours available to work these events that lead up to Spring Training. I have decided to leave Sam's Club with two weeks notice that I will give at work today. I will make more money with Aramark and will have a much more predictable schedule. The scheduling to date has taken its toll on our ability to plan anything. Schedules change almost on a daily basis at Sam's Club, and as the new kid on the block, I seem to get the unwanted hours rejected by the more senior workers. I understand that. I may re-apply for the same job following Spring Training, but we'll see.

There are also some potential changes at Josie's shop which could impact her schedule - and, our longer rang plans. We'll keep everybody current on those changes as they occur. It could be more hours and/or more pay for her. It could also result in no changes at all...
