bonsoir !!!

 

just for fun....

 

about 2 weeks ago, i read a bit of an article about some compagnies painting the blades of their windmills black to save some birds...

so , this morning i was getting ready to work ....standing behind my truck and putting my harness while looking at the sunrise ste marguerite side...

saw a bunch of ducks( about 15 ) passing very closely to the blades of a windmills....about a mile away ...so , i decides to wait a bit ...there s six more windmills about half a mile away from where i work ....2  are close...just checked about 800' apart ....( pic )

so the bunch of ducks went straight for those 2 windmills...right in the middle of the blades....i was expecting to hear .....ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding .....one blade missed 2 ducks by a fraction of a second

i saw the 2 ducks started to wobble ...but made it through the blades !!!

great ending !!!

Is this an appliance?  Or a job description?

This was a question I had as well...I am pretty sure I had to axe a hole in the brook and scoop water into a bucket, heat it on the wood stove, then dump in the sink to wash the dishes. I am sure glad I didn't have to carry the buckets of hot water to the mezzanine for the shower! That was the bigger job for sure!

there's an axe in my room if you want to cut the ice in the brook and carry your water inside the camp...

about 4 '' of snow on my truck ...they even used the plow truck this morning !!!
