...And so the work week comes to an end, kinda. There's still plenty to be done around here, though much of that is being hampered by the cold weather which keeps hangin' on. We now have the prediction that it will be unusually cold through next Wednesday, but perhaps there will be some moderating after that. We're sorting it out, though, by concentrating on local heating, one room at a time. "Room," that's an incorrect term, should be "Cabin." Whatever. By localizing we're able to stay quite comfortable, that is until the wind starts whipping up.

Pacha decided to get me up at 2:00 am, and for a good reason. After we returned from her necessary wanderings, she could sleep but I couldn't. Finally got back to sleep at 4:00. A boat is not the best place for a Siberian Husky, so we take it one day at a time and do the best we can.
She is feeling better and at times still shows the perkiness of old, though that doesn't last for too long.

Looks like I'll be spending a couple weeks in L.A. around the end of the month, though it won't be for pleasure. There's some illness in my family out there, so I'm obliged to hop on a plane and do my bit to help out. After I return I'll head on up to Canada and spend some time there. Of course, by that time winter will likely be gone and better weather will have arrived. It will be a fast six or seven weeks.
