I’ve been under the weather for the past few days so I’m behind in posting, so here goes.
On Saturday we got some practice with our ham radios. Our local ham club provided communication for a trail marathon. We had a high of 36 degrees and it was a rough go for the runners. Next time I will be sure to beef up my first aid kit, as it was really needed.
On Sunday, we got some twigs out of the woods and tried out our new rocket stove. We found out, it isn’t as easy as we thought to scavenge wood that is dry enough. We found out we need more practice at that and that we need to store the stove with good, dry tinder. My homemade dryer lint/parafin bombs will be perfect for that!
On Sunday, we put in a few hours on the wood stove we are installing. It’s going to be a while yet.
Today, I made suet cakes for our chickens! One died overnight☹. I think she got trapped between the outdoor roosts and the coop and froze, so we need to move things around so it doesn’t happen again.
Hope I am feeling better tomorrow. I’ll take work over being sick any day…
