The View from the Outhouse

Good morning from Silty Slough, everyone. I slept in this morning, let the fire go out but there is little change in the indoor temperature, about 68. The outside temp changed big time overnight. I knew it would be good when I turned the porch light on and saw snow falling. It is 35 degrees warmer than last night. Plus 10 degrees now. I started a fire in the stove, turned on the burner for the coffee pot, and started this post. The women woke up had some coffee and Jess started breakfast. Bacon, scrambled eggs, home baked sourdough toast, with a glass of tomato juice for $13.75 plus tip.

Moose in the middle.
Prime rib and shrimp turned out excellent.

After breakfast I made a swing by the outhouse in my pj bottoms, t shirt, and Crocks. Figured I might as well try the heater one more time since I’m out strolling around. I plugged it in and pressed the power button. No 33 error code yet, it should appear in a couple seconds. But heater lit off, no code. I guess it was too cold for the overheat sensor to operate properly yesterday. Cancel that parts order. I don’t need no stinking repair parts now.

Jess spotted a moose across the river. I took a picture. It is the tiny black dot in the center of the frame. I titled it “Moose in the middle”.

With the warmer weather I should cross some things off my to do list.

Check the generator diesel tank quantity

Replace the shock in the rear suspension on my snow go

Dig out my freight sled

Water solar batteries

Carry in wood

Treadmill

That’s all crossed off. I’ll get to them later today or tomorrow.

Maybe time to take a nap so I can stay awake until midnight New York time.

From the Silty Slough, I hope everyone has a Great New Year!!

Thank you Lord for your many blessings!

I’ll be in touch.

Blue skies!!!
