Deep Freeze

This morning I woke up to see a growing layer of moisture on the patio.  The forecast expects this icy rain mixture for the next two days, so it was not a surprise.  Shortly afterwards, the Lowe's truck delivered a freezer.  I am having a grass fed angus cow processed from a local farmer , and I need some extra storage for 1/2 of the cow.  Provided a proper power outage plan, a freezer can be a great way to save money by purchasing in bulk.

Youssef and I spent much of today organizing things into their proper piles to be taken to their respective locations and generally organizing the house.  The two largest piles are to go to the shop and the animal barn.  After several other indoor chores like changing lightbulbs and the air filter and after feeding the animals, Youssef and I got a good fire burning in the rocket stove.  We are starting to figure out how to light it efficiently after a complete failure the other day.
