Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per my morning chores, cats got fed, boards were cut for the fire. 16 feet of boards now ready for kindling.<\/p>\n

As soon as I can breathe again thats what happens next.<\/p>\n

16 feet of board cut down<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

16 feet of kindling<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

16 feet of fire.<\/p><\/div>\n

Fire is rolling, kettle on the stove, soon time for coffee.<\/p>\n

I don’t really have plans for today, still recovering from the last two days. Surviving that’s it, that is my plan.<\/p>\n

I had plans of having pizza with tomorrows fire. The more I thought about it the tastier it sounded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had bathwater on the woodstove and the gen needed filling and starting. Pizza needed cooking.<\/p>\n

Timing had to be good or end up with boiling bathwater, burnt pizza or frozen hair.<\/p>\n

I got it all done, gen started, pizza cooked, and bath done.<\/p>\n

Continuing with my day.<\/p>\n

Night time now. Just cut up another 16 feet and added 8 feet of that to the fire. That will have to do. Monday is the start of another cold spell. I need to conserve wood.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow starts a four day snowstorm.<\/p>\n
