All things are difficult before they are easy.<\/p>\n

Thomas Fuller<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was another heavy work day.<\/p>\n

Four hundred pounds of wood pellets, 215 pounds of catfood, 40 pounds of fuel, 80 pound generator filled, moved and started, 80 pounds of snow gathered and brought in.<\/p>\n

I am upstairs boiling water for coffee then I will melt a pot of snow for the cats, all on my little 1 burner propane stove.<\/p>\n

If I am lucky I will get to make breakfast and maybe even fire up the xbox for a little while.<\/p>\n

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

Melted snow gave the cats wet water. Now I am making hash browns from dehydrated potatoes. They are from before covid. They seem fine. Just add water, wait 12 minutes then fry in a skillet. We just call that a cast iron frying pan here.

The hash browns tasted fine. I had my coffee, played a little Starfield and my solar batteries were fully charged.<\/p>\n

It will take awhile lomger to recover from doing the work today. Saturday the cold and heavy snow arrive. If the forecast holds it will be warmer by next Friday.<\/p>\n

I just have to survive till then. That migh be a problem I will be out of food for me. At least the cats are covered.<\/p>\n
