Cold!...

Been down below zero F since last weekend, the highs, when we get one, have been in the mid twenties below and the lows near forty below. But the end appears to be in sight as the weather bureau is predicting near zero tomorrow.

Here's a pretty sad looking fellow taking a selfie when the temps, according to the frog, are thirty something below. That's cold enough to mostly keep me inside, except for feeding dogs and getting firewood. It's a good thing there's a lot cut and split, cause we're going trough it real fast at these temps. Been rebuilding an old pair of snowshoes I picked up last summer, so will post some pics when they get further along.

So here's the snowshoes, the one on the left just about finished, the other in the original condition. When I went to look at them, the seller was very apologetic, said  he hadn't realized that the green plastic had some severe cracking, so gave them to me for free. I thought it'd be easy to replace the bad part with some UHMW sled plastic, but didn't realize how hard it'd be to grind off the rivet heads that held it on. But now one's almost  done,  they'll both get new bindings, then just have to do the other. Should have'em ready by spring time!
