Canadian winter

Body

It has been snowing steady, after -16C for several days. 
The dry dock finally was flooded today to allow boats in for the winter. I can't remember it being so cold this early in the season.For the very first time, the John Deere diesel only let out a groan when I turned the key. Lucky for me the tug boats were standing by, ready to tow me from the river, into the dry dock. Even the toilet was frozen.The dock lines were frozen stiff around the cleats, and acted more like metal rods, and coil springs, than soft polyester braid.All one wants to do is have a hot drink of tea, and warm one's hands and toes.The roofers are supposed to come on Tuesday, to begin to put the new metal roof on the big barn. Argh!Amid all this, my thoughts are on Norms words about lenz free generators.We also await news of that system Kone has been monitoring based on washing machine pancake motors. If ever there was a need to provide energy, and warmth, it is upon us for another Northern hemisphere winter.Although Hector must do penance, during hurricane season, it is all bonus now, in Puerto Rico.I hope he can give us a thought, as he basks in warm gentle trade winds, and sunshine.
