“The highest revelation is that God is in every man.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snowed heavy still snowing. Yup need the snowblower running but I want the snow to stop coming down first. I will probably need firewood, I may have to bring in one log at a time or just cut a path through the snow with a shovel. That ain’t gonna happen, some snowdrifts are four feet high.<\/p>\n

The truth is once the blower is running I like to keep going, get the job finished. So I can’t just start it and cut a path. I do have a toboggan I could move firewood on that. I am sure it is buried in the snow, where my kids left it ten years ago. I am sure it would take more time and work to find it than just start the blower.<\/p>\n

Ya I know that is on me.<\/p>\n

The plan is to start the blower just cut a path from the woodpile to the back door. I need to conserve some strength because I\u00a0 also have to chainsaw wood in deep snow, transport to the splitter, gas up the gen, which I also need to start the blower. Split wood transport it inside and have a warm fire.<\/p>\n

I know what you are thinking a couple of days ago I\u00a0 wrote about falling on the sheet metal roof injuring my spine, my knee and re-injuring the broken toe. Ya, so what,\u00a0 life is hard sometimes.<\/p>\n

My life is hard all the time. I am going to get dressed for the outside, I have to I\u00a0 am out of battery on my tablet. Whine at you later.<\/p>\n

-23 with the windchill snow blowing on a cold and windy day, can’t wait.<\/p>\n

And God spoke to the broken man about to get dressed to go out and move snow. “Open your eyes and see what I have sent down to you”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The old man looked out and saw snow falling like has never been seen before. He knew God had told him to wait. So he did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThat was insane. I managed to get a path cut to the woodpile. Somehow forgot to turn on the hand warmers. Frozen fingertips. I had to come in from playing in the snow. It was deep.<\/p>\n

\nBack out there soon to chainsaw.-23\u00a0 my fingers never froze that fast before.chainsaw, split and bring in done. Now it’s warm out there. Go figure. Just as I moved the split wood out of the shop I caught a finger between the door and a steel pole. Not sure but it feels broke. It sure wasn’t happy when I bumped it taking off my winter clothes. I should go back out and finish the driveway but I ain’t.<\/p>\n

I am done, the final toll a broken finger now splinted and my $7.99 on sale Canadian Tire wooden handled corn broom broken for the fourth time. Yup it is own it’s way to be repaired again.<\/p>\n

All in all not a bad day. I spoke too soon having an ocular migraine. Just a jagged highlight in my vision. It will go in twenty minutes.<\/p>\n
