Spring Cleaning

Spring is definitely here.  Finally, definitely here.

I haven't really spent much time trying to ignore the cabin fever, as it's really just been one day at a time and those days have been pretty busy.  Working from home and not commuting through winter every day has a way of minimizing the impact as well.

What I am feeling, now that it's warm outside and I'm starting to organize summer gear for trips north and time in the woods, is the call to reduce the amount of stuff I have packed into the basement, storage room, and shelves.  This feeling being in conflict with the preparedness mindset to a certain extent, and the desire to have backups for critical items I'll need to see me through the next 40-50 years.

At any rate, the snow pack around the cabin is down to 12 inches and judging by the charts, it's pretty much a thick water.  Snow temp in that 12 inches is a relatively even 32+/- degrees.  We might make it into the cabin with the truck this weekend, after all.  We have a huge brush pile to burn and a lot of firewood to make for the next cold season, so being able to drive in with tools would be a real benefit to the 3 days of silence.

I think the dogs suspect.

Best get started.
