November 28, 2020 Evening

Today was a rather cloudy day with times of rain and sleet. ☁️ I hiked the whole section of Piseco Powley Road from the Potholers down to the bridge and checked out the repairs. The road is back in the shape the way it was before the Halloween 2019 storm – just a dirt road in the Adirondacks. Nothing really special.

We had some sun today but it was very fleeting. 🌤️ Maybe the solar panel generated fifty watts if that. I did turn on the truck for ten minutes to top off the batteries for a bit after the low voltage disconnect shut off the lights but ultimately I killed most of the lights to save power. 🔋 Nice moonlit evening, 🌕 I’d rather enjoy the moonlit woods by the light of the fire then artificial light. 💡

With the nights as long as they are 🔥 I tend to burn through quite a bit of wood but the result is by nine o’clock I usually have a pretty warm bed of coals go sit by without adding more wood. And I think I prefer the warm bed of coals on such a chilly but moon lit night.

I totally wished for a while today that I had pitched a tent ⛺ and could have hot tented with the book 📙 I was reading. But I didn’t want to get the tent soaked and have to dry it out when I got home.
