The Snow-magedon that weren’t

Oh, we got some snow,,, maybe 3″ here where my stead is. thats not where the problem comes from.

Then next 5 days are supposed to be in the teens or lower,,, THERE is where we get the ice and crap that makes life a little less than ‘nice’.

If ya live on a hillside that is,,,

Is whut’tis, I chose my location and the inherent UGH that accompanies it.

So wish I had a 24/7 stream near’bouts,,,, Do the whole micro-hydro thing and not worry about cleaning solar panels. iswhut’tis,,,

I don’t have a single wire running between house and grid, nor any plumbing fixtures. Totally contained, and as was shown in text messages yester-eve

No, not freezing at all,,, Actually, had the front door open at that point as that is the only thing I have that approximates a T-stat.

Hot shower at 8pm, dinner cooked on a gas stove, though I could have done a slow cooker thing atop the woodburner,,,(will do that with my chili, been a coupl-a-year since I made chili) Lights all night as needed and no need to run a genny ( I do love these LiFepo batteries,,, they are rockin this system.)

About the only thing missin’ (and I don’t miss it) is the entertainment/programming of televised ‘stuff’. Bust open a book or the kindle and I travel to places beyond the boundaries of my little shack, just as well, if not better, than the televised stuff

The only thing I lack,,, companionship. Peeps to talk to. The Fur-babies are nice, but conversation sorely lacks, or is so one sided, may’swell be talkin to meself. At least Cozzie gives me a head-tilt in response. The Kittehs act like I don’t even exist unless there is food involved. (not totally true,,, Elbs do like a good snuggle and face stroppin.)

Not workin’ on that companionship thing though. Not yet. Figure ‘it’ll happen when Universe decides I’m ready’. (and when it does, will hit me sideways and I may try to run screaming for the exits. I know me.)

gonna be a weak week, I can already tell. One big bill out of the way this past week, another two smaller ones coming at end of month. Hope to have SOME work this week, to at least cover those. If I have to dip into the stores to eat, so be it. I knew what I was getting into, just hit faster and deeper than I expected. (and the weather ain’t helpin’.) NOT A BLEG,,,, just stating facts. (UPDATE: yeah,,, its gonna suck this week. went out to start Bloo and there is already a 1/4″ of ice on everything from the current ‘freezing rain’. May have issue getting back up hill later.)

gotz to git ta Da’s, check-in and Domestics. Then see about Fillin’ Bloo up for the upcoming week. Was holding off since she was running like shitte, (and the price is dropped since the Snow-magedon didn’t pan out so well. They bumped the price for panic buyers.)
