Well, I could use a new Snow Thrower for the VT house. Or just a good compressor. Has to hit 200 psi at least for the bike tires and such, and good volume for using the nail gun. OH YEAH, a good pnuematic nail gun would be nice too. Framer please.

Doc, don't you also need a ride home from the HH's this winter? Maybe we could wrap the Barrel Rider for you.

Only when Frau Sehr is home, and the driver is a fine woman.

Got it:
Some churches use four blue candles to emphasize the hopeful anticipation of the season. Others follow an older custom of three purple candles and one pink or rose candle. The purple signifies that Advent is a season of repentance as well as expectation. A purple candle is lit on the first Sunday of Advent, with another one lit on each succeeding Sunday. The joyfully colored pink candle is reserved for the third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete, which means "rejoice" in Latin, is the opening word of the traditional Introit for that Sunday: Rejoice!… the Lord is near. (Philippians 4:4). In addition to the four Advent candles, most Advent wreaths also have a larger, white candle in the center called the Christ candle. This candle is lit on Christmas Eve and throughout the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Thanks Ed once again for the explanation. I need to get my advent wreath ready for Sunday.
