Feb 23 The Breach

 “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”.  William Shakespeare Once more? That, of course, doesn’t apply. It isn’t once more it is again. Out to chainsaw and soon split. Aches, pains and fatigue are tripled, maybe because I know it is Sunday. Chainsawing logs in the deep snow and ice is difficult at…


Feb 22 How Wude

Sunny and warmer outside  This morning the cats gave me a rude reminder that I needed to finish the roof over my desk. There was a screen mesh there to keep bad cats out until I finished the reno. The whole reason I started doing it was to keep cats from getting pee through the…

Another day, same complaints.


Feb 20 Here I Go Again

“The wish for healing has always been half of health.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca Another hard day ahead. Chainsaw, chop, transport,  burn wood. That is just the beginning. I had another hard night with throat pain, not much sleep happened. I have a million things to do, but enough energy to do one. That, of course,…


Feb 19 I think

“Moods are a thing for cattle” Gurney Halleck -Dune I had a very difficult night. Throat pain was severe. I am having difficulty with my moods I got very angry at a little thing. Maybe there is something to this PTSD thing. Like the balance problem and dizziness wasn’t enough. Score so far 4 major…


Feb 18 Extreme Cold Again

“I like the cold weather. It means you get work done.” Noam Chomsky As normal the extreme cold warning has been extended. Just a few hours so far. But like I have said many times before in this blog. The cold always outstays its welcome. I slept through fire load. It means the fire is…


Feb 17 Too cool

Humans are pretty crafty but will fold quickly in severe cold. Henry Rollins Bitey cold out there. The kind that you can feel with every painful breath. Especially me with throat and lung problems. Environment Canada has released an extreme cold warning. Windchills to reach -40. I went out to retrieve the rest of the…


Feb 16 It’s Sunday

“We’re going to win Sunday. I guarantee it.” Joe Namath I wanted to play an old video game. It’s Sunday. I need to run the generator to do that. I won’t do that without splitting wood. Only there is no woodcut or brought in to do that. Chainsaw needs gas and bar oil, so I…


Feb 15

I started this post with the idea of listing my symptoms, but I am not going to do that. I am sick probably dying, none of that matters. I am being denied health care in a country that health care is free. In a country where the health care providers are trusted. In a country,…


Feb 14 ❤️ Snow Day

“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” Mark Twain It is 6:30 am. I looked across the field outside. It looked like ice fog until I looked at the solar panels, then I took a look at the ground and started to laugh out loud. Hard The path I just…
