People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Albert Einstein<\/strong><\/p>\n

Went out for my morning stroll to sweep off the solar panels. Yes I did notice that more snow was falling. It didn’t matter, this time of the year there is only a few hours that the panels can generate power, and that is If there was sun and the panels were functioning at full capacity.<\/p>\n

Too cold for the gen to run. I might be able to run it for a short period. I need to cut more wood. I have four days of extreme cold.<\/p>\n

The problem is wood. I have a bit out in the snow and cold, but it is out in the snow and cold. Earlier in the day,\u00a0 hands and face started to freeze in seconds.<\/p>\n

Ya the cats were fed, their water bowls are on the woodstove warming up. Don’t ask. My kettle will be boiled in a few mnutes. Soon hot coffee will be pouring.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: 4 PM<\/p>\n

Sun is going down just went out for a stroll. When I got back I cut some wood by hand.<\/p>\n
