What a great feeling that is John.  I remember when we paid ours off back in 1990.  I was 36 at the time, one month later I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and given a 40% chance of beating it.  God has been good to us!!!  Both  my sons had to rub it in and beat dad at the mortgage game.  My oldest paid his house off at the age of 34 and my youngest son beat us both, . . . . he was only 29 !  But he cheated in a sense,  after getting out of the army he worked for a private contractor and worked in Afghanistan for a couple years.  Made enough to pay cash for his place.  However, it was pretty dangerous work and I would opt for the easy way and go the traditional route.

It's a great feeling for sure. Completed the final mortgage payment this afternoon on my lunch break. One years worth of payments all at once. I never thought about the end of the mortgage because it always seemed "out there" as far as time frames go. But 20 years now, and it's gone. I should say for the record it was my first and only house. It's likely I will never sell it. 

And it hasn't snowed again since last night and  snow removal is over for now. Quite a few of my neighbors did NOT do a second cleaning last night, and they're paying the price right now! The snow has hardened and is crusty. The side streets are still hard pack snow and slush, but the main roads are clear to the asphalt. They only plowed 3/4 of the street, it's almost 4 feet of snow into the street  and the same height. Hope it warms up again and melts it. Thinking about camping adventures this year coming!!!

Too bad snow is a rare occurrence in Vegas.

I would rather have snow, than the severe thunderstorms and hail we get in the mid-state. It's that time of the year.

At the Kirkwood, CA, ski resort they're reporting 17"6" at the base and 19'2" at the summit.  At Mammoth Mountain they're reporting 27'6" at the summit, about 3 hours south of us.  And we're already into the spring melt.  Now that's a little snow.🙃  We're prepping the Pod to see the desert wild flowers very soon.

The snow is nearly completely melted and gone here (FINALLY).. Another warm day with some wind and it will be gone. Then hopefully it dries out some and I can start mountain biking again!!

Wow, Leo you are getting all the fun.  We may have to pack the pod and ski's and get to your neck of the woods to enjoy the last snow of spring.  Oh, and don't forget my spud bar and fishing poles.
