The dishes were hit. That allowed me to get in and shower before setting them back for another soak. Then a trip to town. I took care of some of what was needed, not all. I could not make it to the grocery store. Soon, I hope. Bits, pieces, I will keep trying. So very tired. Oh, and no photography. I was sad about that. Some of the places I was at offered extremely wonderful vantages, and the weather, terrain, and partial snow cover provided would, to my eye, could only be considered astounding potential. Whether any shot would have turned out or whether my eye is any good? The only way to every find out is to take some snappies and print them. I didn't have the energy though, I just didn't.
I'll keep at it. Perhaps, with such short windows of sunlight, and being overcast even less, I just can't quite push on through. Not fully. What I am doing is, given what I have to work with, not bad. It just isn't great, or even good. It is simply not bad. And... better than it has been. I'll keep at it.
I am truly hoping to set up my hammock in the back yard, set up the tarp, and begin figuring out winter camping. If I can do that, I might work at some other things. Camping just slightly off the trail, not too far up, somewhere. Little things. I am not sure how well winter photography works. Too cold and there would be trouble. Heating things too quickly, say near a fire or in some other similar way and there would be trouble too. And wet just doesn't work for electronics. No, just camping, if I can get to it. The gear I have is okay, though not really up to par for serious cold. I would need an under baffle and perhaps a surround wrap, plus what I have. Though to what temp what I have would work is another thing. Actually, I think the mummy water wrap for my .mil sleeping system might actually do really well for a wrap. All I really need is a baffle under the hammock to hold more heat/insulate generally. As my system is, I can probably take a typical night down to 0 F, without wind. Wind would be a show-stopper. And, if we get another snow before long, it would be fun to traipse about with the snowshoes. With enough snow. Well, that is sort of the plan.
Later.
