@trinsec@qoto.social. I did take some time offline this afternoon. Splitting firewood. Filled all my boxes. I use banana boxes because they are easy to stack and keep it clean and neat. They have handles.
@TheOldGuy Aimed at me? Huh, there's no qoto.social, might want to check the address next time. :D It is that I stumbled on your post in the local feed that I see this now.
Oh yeah, banana boxes are a nice size for such a thing. ;)
Is it still fairly cold over there? It looks like here in Europe spring already has begun.
@trinsec today is warm at 10 Celsius. 0⁰ at night. But cold weather is coming. In 2 days -6 night temperature. And who knows what's coming. In December, a couple of days before Christmas we got -23 Celsius with a 40 mph wind that brought wind chill to -40 in Celsius and fahrenheit. So I want to stay ready. I went through 11 boxes of wood and was running 3 electric heaters.
Funny thing, in the kitchen I had a case of canned soda sitting on the floor. They began exploding. But today is warm. Tomorrow too. Then the winter blast from Canada arrives.
@TheOldGuy Worst we had was somewhere begin December, when we got close to -10C in the nights. About a week of extra heating, and then it was suddenly above average warm again.
Not that I'm complaining too much... especially with the high gas prices lately. :P It just means that we're having very wet days instead.
If you had soda exploding from sitting on the kitchen floor, that must've been awfully cold. And that indoors. O.o
I wonder if you're one of the people who literally lives in 'a cabin in the woods'? Though you mentioned electric heaters, so not that far off a grid?
@trinsec this was taken from my back steps looking north. Pictures are easier to upload in early morning. It's 6:45AM. I own to the bottom of the hill.
@TheOldGuy Huh nice. I live in the city, near the suburbs. A small garden of about... 7 by... uh.. 11? meter is mine to take care of. Plus a smaller front garden that I mostly ignore but is doing otherwise fine too.
I think for me that's big enough. I'm not living a very active life. :) Though it'd be nice to live 'near the woods' so to speak, but then I'd have to be further away from the city and that won't be it for me.
I do have a view on a small park though, and my area's fairly green. If I wanted to, a 10 min bike is off to the lake. I suppose that's something.
