If you wondered why my posts have become so generic. It is because I am not sure how to handle my current situation.<\/p>\n

My health is declining, and I am not able to find a doctor willing to help.<\/p>\n

I made a trip to town today. I thought\u00a0 I better get some cat food in case the snowstorm comes early. I even had time to grab a bison burger for lunch.<\/p>\n

When I got home I suited up, gassed up the chainsaw and went out to the ever-shrinking log pile. A couple of pulls on the starter rope and nothing. The starting mechanism wasn’t making contact with the engine. I had a small panic the saw hasn’t let me down in the 15 years I have had it.<\/p>\n

I had no idea how to fix it. I did know the problem was inside the starter rope cover. So I started removing the screws. Under there was a lot of congealed sawdust and bar oil.<\/p>\n

I removed as much as I could checked for broken parts. I couldn’t find any damage. So I reassembled. A couple of test pulls and still nothing. I gave it a couple of sharp hard pulls, that did the trick.<\/p>\n

Soon I was out there sawing logs. I filled the old wheelbarrow with logs and made the trip down the driveway.<\/p>\n

Got the gen filled with gas, started and then made firewood.<\/p>\n

Once again filled the water bowls with fresh snow. With all that inside. I went to Skyrim once more. It was a welcome escape.<\/p>\n

All was good melted snow now inside the stage one filter bucket. I checked on that a couple of hours later. It was all over the floor. One of the cats had moved the exit pipe so it wasn’t pouring into a container. Instead, it was pouring all over the floor.<\/p>\n

I have a saying “some days you win and some days you are me” sounds a little schizo looking at the words through blurry eyes at 2 AM.<\/p>\n

I will deal with that tomorrow. It is late after a little online TV I will try to sleep again. I woke because the pain in my throat was too intense.<\/p>\n

For the first time, I was a little worried. Then I started to have heart pain. Then it all seemed too ridiculous.<\/p>\n

I thought I better feed the cats and I made myself a coffee while I am typing this.<\/p>\n

Low battery low energy I gotta go. Take care and be safe. I hope you are having a better day than me.<\/p>\n
