A quick note: apologies to my Rutzebeck/Mud Bay neighbors. I have purchased a snow machine and it turned out to be the loudest, stupidest thing (and will inevitably injure me badly). I value the Zen quiet out there very much, so I will only be using that stupid machine once or twice a week to haul water to my cabin. It is only a 10-minute trip. Sorry for the noise.
Thanks,
Russell Kennedy
