The cold has everything at a standstill up here.

It’s so cold up here nothing wants to start. The UTV is cranking like it’s sunk in mud. I remembered the battery is three years old and probably not up to the task any longer. I have it on a slow charge now hoping to get it warmed up enough for one more start, then it’s off to NAPA for a new one. The snowmobile is like pulling a tank out of the mud by hand, not going to happen. It’s -1 in town, which means it’s colder up here.

Good day to stay inside by the fire.

The only thing I really need from town is gas for the genorator, but I can stretch that out until Monday if I have to.

That’s life on the mountain. Not worth worrying about, it is what it is.
