Life at my Remote Log Cabin | Cabin is Warm | I'm Ready for Winter

Well, good morning. I got up earlier and let my dog out and started a fire. As you can see through the window there, let's see if this over here might be better, that's seven o'clock. It's just barely starting to get a little bit of light and so I'm gonna go out and get my eggs for breakfast. It's really, really cold out this morning so I got this fire going earlier. It'll be another half hour at least before it gets, gets enough light to do anything. Dogs are wanting out so I'm gonna go ahead and take the dogs out, go to the bathroom. Just a minute Earl, I'll get you buddy. You do outside? Alright, come on. I always put Earl on the leash. I know guys. Keep going, no, no, don't, don't. He likes to go on the deck. camera is making it look a little bit lighter, but it's cold. It is cold. Come on, let's go back in. Come on, Earl. Good boy. Come on, Cole. Come on, Cole. Hold on, hold on. There you go. Just went out and picked up eggs. I've got four of them. They're fresh. I'm actually not going to use these right now. I'm gonna go ahead and put them in the refrigerator because I've got some older eggs I'm gonna use up first. I know you can leave these out, that's what I'm told, but I always put them in the refrigerator so it's hard for me to leave them out. Turned the wrong burner on. So I'm gonna boil myself three eggs and eat my breakfast here in a little bit. So as you saw when I was walking outside, it's, it's quarter to eight and it's just, it's light now. I've got about seven hours, seven and a half hours of daylight, and it only gets darker from here, a couple more weeks anyway, then it turns around. So anyway, I'm gonna finish what I'm doing. These farm fresh eggs are, I don't know if you'd call them farm fresh here, I don't really have a farm, but it's hot. The eggs here are not too bad to peel. I take them right out of the chicken pen and then peel them. They're a lot more, a lot harder to peel. These aren't too bad. The eggs are not cheaper than buying them in a store. They're just, they're fresher. I like having the chickens, so I would have the chickens even if I didn't get eggs. It's hot. You get chickens that are laying eggs that are soft. From my experience, it typically means they don't have enough calcium in their diet, and they're not able to build the eggshells the way they're supposed to. So anyway, I'm gonna, unless I don't eat my breakfast, I've got a full day ahead of me. At night, when the lights are out, I'm able to see how much food is in this. I have two cameras that I have inside here, and I can see from that angle, see from this angle, I can watch my water, I can see how much food I have. I can actually see what the temperature is inside of here, and then decide if I want to turn my I wonder if it's got...ah, batteries are all good. Oh, I'm gonna go get a screwdriver so I can clean that out. There's a little bit of moisture down there. Let's just go ahead and bring it out. Right here's a...yeah, you see that chunk of stuff. There it is, right there. See all that? It's frozen. So, this goes down there, and for whatever reason, right here, condensation. Yep, yep, that was it. This corner, right there, condensation built up on it and ended up freezing it shut. I was trying to figure out why I was doing that because everything else is in good repair. So, if you use this to tighten that, you be careful because you don't want to over tighten it. If you over tighten this, it messes with stuff. All right, I got it fixed. This right here, big chunk of ice in it, so the door froze shut. So, all right, I'm out of here. This one's done. Look at that. It's a winter wonderland. It's a winter wonderland. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
