Final tally is in for the freeze damage - $400 for plumbing, $1500 for pool, and $500 for ceiling repair. Consider myself lucky!
Still will have a pretty large amount of landscape replacement due to freeze damage, but that can be done over the spring/summer. Going to have to wait to see what recovers when it warms up.

The iceberg did not seem to do any damage.

Velo Vol I apologize for suspending your music education during my convalescence. I will resume as soon as I can. Stretching takes up more time than I realized.

Highly modified to put out something like 1200 hp on race fuel. The owner took me for a ride in it, and scared the living sheet out of me. Would have loved to drive it, but didn't as it was beyond my comfort level.

Time to roll our tandem out of storage. Appropriate to recent threads, it weighs around ~30#, IIRC, but maybe I should weigh it.
