Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.

Another day in paradise, cut wood make fire, feed, and water cats. Oh and gather 80 pounds of snow for melt, then huff and puff like an asmatic granny (don’t care about the mispell) at a smoke filled bingo hall.
After a rest, which I was going to take, I had BM business to attend to. Yes, plus the paper work.
I am on the third attempt at lighting the fire. I chose a medium wet pallett. I should have chosen the really dry pallett. I didn’t for two reasons, both convience. One for me and one for cats. For me it was a great place to hang gloves in front of the fire. For the cats it was a great place to hang out in front of the fire.
I got the gen ruunning that was a little of an ordeal. The old gas I have been mixing with premium gas clogged the carb. Usually within 3 pulls it sputters to life.
After a ten minute search I found the right wrench. I drained the float bowl. The -15 float bowl with the minus 15 gas now pouring all over my bare hand. After tightening it all down , I pulled the rope and prayed. The gen sputtered to life.
I am now making coffee. As usual chores took two hours, with breaks. Just like yesterday I didn’t finish my coffee last night. So I drank it, and just like yesterday I got a brain freeze. What? You pay extra for cold coffee. Mine is a by product of winter.
I mixed a little cinnamon like usual, but this time I added some ground tumeric. I don’t why, I needed a change I guess. I think those things are good for me.
I will let you know if it tastes good after the recharge my cell battery break.
Battery and cell in hand. Coffee made and breakfast cooling I continue on. My room is warming, the fireroom is getting warm snow is melting the xbox is doing downloads, the gen is purring along. I am under 5 blankets and also warming up. The back pain has subsided, the tumeric, cinnamon coffee is not bad.
Right at this very moment my life is good. For a few seconds I forgot about everything else.
Well it is evening, cats are fed and watered again. I was voing to have another fire. I built one but didn’t light it. It may light itself. It just wasn’t cold enough.
I finally bought the digital copy of Red Dead Redemption. I have the disc but that is a pain. I played for a couple of hours. I forgot playing it was all encompassing and the music great. The video below is actual gameplay. Not bad for a game that came out 6 years ago.
Then did my evening chores. Brroughtin the last pallet and cut up the dry one. After that no wood. Never mind food, I was almost out of that.
Health I was almost out of that too, but catfood I had. I have been having chest pains all day. Ambulance is out of the question. That is a one way ride, no way to get home.
