Happy anniversary every body. (Thanks for stealing my thunder C. Do you know how long it took me to come up with a subject for today's post? And then you go think of the same thing.) Yup, it's been a year since we have been doing this thing. I use the "we" in the "me" tense since most of you do not contribute much, unless you do some thing silly that I can report.

Sun up yesterday.


Coming back from picking up my mail yesterday. That dot on the trail is Kita.


Sun set last evening.


8:00 am this morning.


-22c yesterday morning and it dropped to -24c by the time I finished my second cup of coffee. But it warmed up to -17c by the afternoon. I had kept asking Kita if he wanted to come in all evening, but he didn't want to. At 10:30 last night it had dropped to -28. Kita was still on his pillow with his nose under his tail but his ears were exposed so I dragged him in. -27 this morning and it warmed up to -6 this afternoon with flurries on and off most of the day. My weather station said that it had dropped to -31.9 over night, butt since I didn't get to enjoy it, no "full monty" for you.

I actually went to start the post at 11:00 this morning, but the generator wouldn't start. I thought that it might be too cold so I turned on a propane heater for a while. It did start after an hour or so, but didn't run right. After some trouble shooting I found that the carburetor had come loose again. I'm getting to know that gen set as well as Razor knows his grader.

It's supposed to snow tomorrow, I might mark the trail on the pond side of the lake, or I might do a tour of the lake, decisions, decisions.
