I had to meet an inspector in the city at Mummu and Grandpa’s future home, so Kenny went to their place.
After that I went straight to an IT call out towards Hawkeye Lake with a really nice new client.
By the time I got back to the cabin, this is what Kenny and I had to deal with: 10.5 degrees Celsius indoors!

My friend JC! particularly likes the sad emoji. |
It’s now almost three hours later and up to 21.3 degrees inside. I’ll let my editor say if we need to keep stoking the fire.
[Editor: Sorry I missed posting this at the time it was written. I think we did keep stoking the fire, because the night got progressively colder. Some nights since then have gone down to -28 and -30 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, even with the fire going out at night, the morning temperature indoors was never colder than this.
Now the temperatures are mild again; it’s only -7.8 degrees outside today before dawn.
As you can tell, temperature becomes really important when living simply on a homestead!)
