Saturday in the snow
Comments (0) Got up and checked the state of the world outside several times during the night but no snow. Bit of sleet here and there but snow didn’t start till about 9:30 am. Had posted there was to be no game today but 3 of the guys hadn’t gotten the message and showed anyway. Tom was working on a building and we walked up to see his latest building and were looking at it when the snow started. They all left as it was coming down pretty hard.
I stopped on the way back and checked batteries and turned the one in the barn off. The one in the Honda was finally starting to take a charge so left it going. Battery is nearly 8 years old. Never used but a month or so after purchase then just sat in a car out in the elements. Charged it for a couple of days a couple of months ago and again now. By 4:30 this afternoon it was holding a fair charge so cut it off. Will see if it holds it or quickly looses it.
Came on in and fixed breakfast, fed fire, sat and fiddled with the computer until lunch, heated and ate lunch and browsed and read feeds for most of the afternoon. Got out for a bit and cut the charger off on the honda battery. Got the extension cords up and tried the starter. Nothing. Got a piece of metal and shorted the solenoid to the battery line and the starter seems to be locked up. Will pull it and see what gives. Back to the house and got some wood inside and fed the fire and heated supper then back at the computer again this evening. So the day has gone. Got stuff to do but just ain’t had the energy. Will see what the morrow brings. Think I will call it an early night, the days excitement has exhausted me. 😉
