Today started like any other day. Mostly, except for the three female deer in the yard. A few days ago I had a male deer in the back yard. It is not a safe time to get between the male and females.<\/p>\n

Cats were fed and watered. Gas was collected for the gen. Empty water bottles taken to the van. The gen was started, outside cats fed.<\/p>\n

I was going to the village to pickup freight. I decided to wait till tomorrow. That might have been a mistake. If the snow that fell the other day melts and refreezes the road will turn to solid ice. Time would tell.<\/p>\n

Water for coffee is on the boil. It is sunny but somehow my battery monitor got scrambled again. I needed a full charge to recalibrate.<\/p>\n

Coffee made now onto breakfast and vitamins.<\/p>\n

The gen has done it’s job, my battery monitor has been correctly calibrated. The batteries are fully charged. <\/p>\n

Now what remains is what to do with the rest of the day. I am leaning towards the mountain of cardboard in my garage and my new electric scissors.<\/p>\n

I think that requires a bit more planning. I need a place to pile the strips I cut which will be shredded, once I get a shredder. That will be in the spring.<\/p>\n

Then I can make carboard and sawdust soup. That will be scooped out after aging a bit in water and pressed into logs using a hydraulic jack. Dried and used for firewood.<\/p>\n
