Snow day scanning......

 7:50 am - Friday - March 7th - The Wintery Wilson Wilderness - 32° F, humidity 90%, wind 7 mph out of the north by northeast.....snowing as I write....snowed off and on all night.....1-2 inches of snow on the ground.....the forecast high today is 46° F, which should melt a good portion of the snow.  The views this morning.....

....just returned from brushing snow off of our various solar arrays (18 ground based panels in all), and our patio and window awnings.  On this date in 2022 we were in a different place with quite the opposite weather....

.....right now, at this exact time, I'm thinking I would rather be in the Anza Borrego Desert with my shoes off soaking up vitamin 'D'....lol!

As might be expected with the overnight snow Wednesday night, we spent the better part of the day indoors.  The only time I spent outside was raking snow off our patio awning, and then brushing snow off of 18 solar panels.  The ones on the Newell roof, and the roof of the CONEX had to fend for themselves.....no way I'm getting on a tall, slippery ladder.....lol!

As you may recall, periodically, we devote part of a day, preferably a rain, or snow day, to scanning the voluminous amount of paper we collect over time.  There's all the Social Security and Medicare paperwork we receive in the mail, as well as a lot of doctor bills, which result in all of the Medicare paperwork we receive.  Additionally, there are automotive service, and repair bills, which is probably the major non grocery source of our annual expenses.  We don't have room to store all of that paper, so we scan all of it into my laptop using our HP wireless printer/scanner, and then shred the paper.

I don't think we've scanned anything in over a year, and when we looked at the long range forecast last week showing rain/snow Thursday and Friday we set one of those days aside to scan our brains out.  We had a stack about 6" high, and I though it would take hours, but the total elapsed time was less than 2 hours.  TLE and I sit back to back in the salon....me at our Microsoft laptop, and she at the HP printer scanner.  We are a well oiled machine when it comes to scanning paperwork, having done this many times over the 13 years we have lived full time in our 1982 Newell Classic, 36' diesel pusher.  By the way, our Newell officially turned 43 years of age on March 1st.  She's older than 2 of our 5 children.

I'll leave you with a a short video I shot whilst we were scanning our paperwork....

.....taken around 11 am.....it was really coming down!  And as I write it has begun snowing again on Friday morning....

Thanks fore stopping by!
