What's going on update

The last couple of weeks have been busy and crazy. Work has been busy with a project that is coming to an end. I finally got word on how an API from our CRM works so that I can actually use it. Then there was the weather. The last ten days have been cold and either rain, ice or snow or a combination of all three. The temperatures were the lowest I have seen since moving to Texas in 2005. I left Nebraska in January of 2005 and it was below zero. I arrived in Georgetown and it was 50-ish degrees. I honestly never would have thought the temperature would get as low as it did. Plus all of the snow and ice. There was snow on the ground for seven days. I was fortunate enough that I did not lose power or water for any amount of time. I am super thankful for that. This whole mess has made realize how unprepared we as a society are for natural disasters. I am going to prepare a little bit in the coming months. I'm not going full on "prepper", but I am going to get some basic things to have on hand. On a different note, I received the front rigid collar parts from Japan before the bad weather hit. I'm going to wait to buy more parts to see if there is anything that pops up from this bad weather that needs repairs.

Taken from my office window at 2:15 AM, Monday February 15th, 2021. It may be the phone camera, but it felt like there was a lot of light outside for it being the middle of the night. It is what caused me to wake up. My room was bright from the snow.

A snowdrift outside my front door. I think there was an average of 4 inches of snow that fell in the area.

Icicles on the pergola in my backyard. This was the start of the freezing
