Yesterday was the first real snowstorm of our winter. Cold windy and snowing hard it finished up as sleet for several hours. About a foot of white added to the scenery with a daytime high of around twelve 
degrees. I let the dogs out early in hte morning and they came right back wanting to be in where it was warm.
Over the last few months I have been privileged to watch folks who are at the peak of their skill in various fields. Over the holidays Argy and I attended a high school holiday concert where the teacher / conductor was obviously skilled anticipating where the students would make mistakes and offering coaching to keep them on track.
Already into the new year. Like every other small business Maine Outdoors is starting by making plans, reviewing the past and thinking about how to do what we do better. Some things like the weather or fish biting or eagles showing up on scene are sort of out of our control. Other things though like a pair of binoculars when needed are easy to provide as long as they had been thought of a before that moment.
