January 5th


I had a problem in the night opening the wood stove door to add more fuel. In the morning the fire was completely out and the place was little different from the outside temperature. A hammer tapped to the stove helped to free the door and a fire got started right away.

The weather was changing...getting warmer. Now I was really worried about the accumulated snow on the roof. I ran around with a rake and hoe to snag slabs of snow and drag them off the roof. The other project was to repair the dead bolt at the back door. For some reason the drilled area wasn't quite big enough and the thing wouldn't work. Fortunately this got fixed quickly and cabin could be properly locked when I left.

Cathie came to pick me up and I was at the dock early so while I waited the dock got shoveled off. Everything was very slippery.

I was glad to be at the cabin during this time but when the days are longer and it is warmer there are more things to do.
