Off Grid, at -28F

It's cold up here, folks, with wind chills in the -40's, and real temps at almost -30F. The new woodstove is doing an admirable job keeping the place warm, but we have no electricity. Toasted another starter trying to turn over the VeggieGen. The starter is at the shop, and we are looking into beefing up it's abilities. The propane fridge is on the fritz, and the vehicles won't start. We have 100 gallons of water in the attic barrels, so we have water for a while. Ordered 12 (face)cord of wood ($35/f-cord), which should last us till spring. Ripped the mirror off the car when it snagged on the garage door. Car slipped sideways on the ice. I turned 40 today, and it's day 2 of the stomache bug. Good time to stay indoors, enjoy the woodstove, and contemplate the meaning of life.......
