So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!
J. R. R. Tolkien
So far, fed the cats gathered snow, started the fire. Alreadyon my second breath break, my heart is running at a 100bpm. I am totally out of breath.
The fire is started but burning so low the cats are walking on the top. That won’t melt snow. I had to babysit the snowbowl. If cats can walk on the woodstove they can knock the snowbowl off, as they have in the past.
I added more paper. The problem comes from the pallet wood I cut yesterday, which was still wet.
There are 3 more in the fire room drying that will take a few days.
I have bigger problems I will run out of catfood on Sunday. Food for me probly the same time.
A big snowstorm was comming Saturday/Sunday and to top it off. Friday was the 13th. The roads will not be useable till atleast next Wednesday. Espicially my driveway.
I am not really superstitious except about that day. I have written a lot about that on previous 13th posts.
I am still baby sitting the fire, it is burning better. No snow has melted yet but soon.
I am back uptairs with double snow stuffed kettle. How much water that makes will be revealed soon as the one burner camp stove heats it up.
Coffee fixin’s are in the cone filter waiting for hot water, I am just relaxing wondering why my ears need popping. Same feeling you get flying in a jet.
I am looking at my power apps. My solar is making 4 amps. My main battery bank is at 73 percent. My secondary bank the smaller one, is at 80 percent. It is not enough to use the Xbox, but better than no solar. Oh Did I mention that I am out of gen fuel as well. I just have some year old fuel that I don’t want run through my generator.
My kettle boiled, it was 3/4 full. I am pouring it through now. It is Noon.
The pallet wood in the fire is burning hot. 24.5 in the fire room.
