To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!

Charlie Chaplin

It is another gray day outside. Cats are fed, three big litter boxes hauled outside refilled and put back into place. Yes, I did have to go down to the van to get a ripped bag of pellets and carry it back.

I also made another trip down to fill gas cans and overfilled one on my foot. The gen is ready and filled. I am far beyond exhausted and soaked in sweat. I am in the cold wood work shop trying to get dry, only succeeding at getting cold. It is -3 in here.

No breakfast yet, no hot coffee. I am deciding to start the gen now, or make coffee first.

Coffee, my kidney pain is worse with periods of no pain. I am shuffling like a zombie from one job to the next. It is getting done. The water for coffee is on the boil.

Coffee is made. I plan to play for a bit, ya after vitamins and C juice and more coffee.

The gen is not running yet. I figure to use some of what is in my storage battery first. I should eat something too.

It is after 9 PM. I just ran the gen for five hours to bring up the LFP battery to 100% from 30. I have a second 24v 100AH battery on it’s way. It will take twice as long to charge, but it will last twice as long.

I will need more power from solar or wind, that will have to wait till spring.

Dirty Harry, evening here. I have been watching them in order of release.
