Gotta' find my long-johns!

06 F, Snow NW wind 16 mph, 43 mph gusts, -12 F wind chill
Happy Thanksgiving,,
It is cool and windy out this morning. The snow seems to be moving horizontal rather than coming down. At times it is impossible to see the part-time neighbor's house. Supposed to be like this all day too. Started the old furnace as I am worried about the water pipes freezing under the house. At least that adds some heat there too. Coldest day so far this season.
Margriet baked a pumpkin pie yesterday, so things are getting in order for our big meal. Sounds like apple glazed Cornish hen with vegetable stuffing, sweet potatoes (ala Brenda the yam-yam lady), dressing, salad, and other goodies make up the menu. Suspect we will have the big meal during the afternoon, rather than noon or supper time. We are looking forward to it - and the leftovers.
I just checked the weather at deer camp. They have 05 F with 29 mph winds. I bet they will be out hunting today, but sticking close to the river and the bottoms. With this kind of weather up there, the deer head for the bottoms and bed down. The same happens when there is deep snow. You almost have to step on the deer to get them to move. Drives tend to be shorter and the number of meals during the day seem to increase - in number and quantity. Bet the barrel heater is simmering in the main cabin and the bunkhouse. Probably rather cold in the bunkhouse early this morning. I used to be the guy who started the fire in the bunkhouse in the morning, while I got dressed, then went to the main cabin and did the same while I made breakfast for the crew. I got the first cup of coffee too! Then the rest could have some.
I got the last of the logs onto the bunk and ready to make into firewood yesterday. Quit about the time it got dark. The butt log was the most difficult to get- it was all I could do to lift one end at a time onto the wagon. About half way to the bunk, the log slid backwards on the wagon, lifting the front wheels off the ground and dragging. Not easy to pull! Got the chainsaw out and cut off the 32" of the log and everything went well after that. Had to chuckle at myself though. I planned to cut and split the logs today, but think I will pass until the wind dies down a bit.
So far it appears the dose of drain cleaner has done the trick on the sewer problems of the past day or so. Thank goodness! Did a double dose, just to make sure.
Time to get to other things - like Thanksgiving. Enjoy yours and the blessings God continues to give to you.
In Christ My Saviour,
