Greetings from a chilly Eugene! There has been a state of emergency declared here after a crazy ice storm last week (about a day and a half of freezing rain, building up thick ice on everything). Things are slowly coming back to normal but we are still without power – five full days now. Thankfully, although we have lost a lot of trees, nothing has fallen on any structures, and we have been comfortable with the woodstove. No frame production though, and a bit of an enforced rest week (and just when my winter training was coming along so nicely!). Hopefully power will return this week, and I can get back to work :-
happy new year, Rob! all the best for 2017 and always!
