Hello Dear.

12 hours worth of heat... The wood stove is the sole heat for our home. There is no back up. 

Incoming!

This picture is out of sequence, but you get the picture. ;)

Camo Generator

Filling the tank and test run completed

It's getting close to 4PM now. Reggie is due back at 5 to help move the 54 into the garage. We've got 4 gas tanks that need to be filled to feed the generator and the snow thrower. Bill headed out to the gas station.

While Bill was doing all of this, I was trying to keep 6 dogs happy and out of harms way. My desktop died on Tuesday. The first replacement motherboard was dysfunctional a 2nd was received today and I was trying to install that. After waiting an hour in line at the pumps Bill came home, Reggie arrived and the 54 got pushed into the garage. At 7:30 Bill offered to cook our steaks on the grill so that I could continue with my computer project. He crashed after dinner clean-up. My comp is still not working. Thank God for an understanding hubby and laptops! Tomorrow is another day.
