We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walter Scott<\/strong><\/p>\n

Been a few days. No wordy explanation. It was what it was.<\/p>\n

I just finished watching Castle I think for the first time, really 3rd time, but it felt like the first.<\/p>\n

I am heating water to wash up, needs doing. My hair and face are a little dirty from all the cleaning up I have been doing.<\/p>\n

Water is on the wood stove for the kettle and cleaning. The fire is lit.<\/p>\n

Soon I go see if my CT scan reveals if some of the tumors in my body are getting worse or better. I already know the answer.<\/p>\n

Oil is draining from the gen for an oil change. I doubt their instructions are correct for refilling. Today I will add less to see if the level works out.<\/p>\n

If I add the amount they say, I can never get the right reading from the dipstick. Oil always pours out as soon as I try to read it.<\/p>\n

That happens when it’s cold. Today I will add 300 ml instead of 600 ml and do a cold reading to see what happens.<\/p>\n

Sweeping, shoveling, and cat boxes done, including getting a new bag of pellets from the van.<\/p>\n

That’s when I noticed a new roof leak. Always happens this time of year. Ice gets under the roofing, then freezes and thaws over and over, lifting the roofing.<\/p>\n

It seems in different places every year. By Thursday, it will be plus 8 which should melt the rest of the ice and snow.<\/p>\n

Then that brings the muddy roads. So bad, some years, trucks that shouldn’t be there sink up to the body pans.<\/p>\n

I try to stay home as much as I can during that period.<\/p>\n
