It was my intention tonight to set up a time lapse at the cabin tonight for the Aurora. But the skidoo wouldn’t start in the cold. #CabinLife #Nunavut

My FIL built his cabin entirely with reclaimed wood. And that is fricking awesome. But it also provided challenges in our renovation of it.
This wall had, um, flaws. So we decided to add some 1x3s and make it a feature wall. Primed and awaiting a couple coats of paint and trim and baseboards. #CabinLife #Nunavut
January. The High Arctic. 73degs North.
It’s 1 C. Everything is fine. #Nunavut
Dammit, I’ve got to dig out the ladder and get that thing unstuck from the antlers. #CabinLife #Nunavut

The latest upgrade to the cabin. The wind turbine has been installed. The weather is crazy warm here. -4 this morning. -7 last night when I got the turbine up. Which made it great for my hands, but this is January in the high Arctic. #CabinLife #Nunavut
The hope is that this will lessen the reliance on the generator during the dark season until solar can take over.

have way more energy than I as the dance goes on for like 20 mins without pause.
Happy New Year all. And I hope 2026 is kind to you all. #Nunavut
My in-laws planned to stay at their cabin last night so I went to make sure they had power. Storming pretty good, or at least very windy. Walked through a big drift to our cabin and 15 mins later my tracks had blown in. Video doesn’t really convey it.
Greetings, fellow Fedizens. Winter solstice has passed and the days are getting longer, hooray. (Those of us in the Southern half, your time will come.)
Another hour, and the first slightly longer day will begin in my part of the world. The sky is already brightening, and the birds in the garden are busy announcing the new day.
This is as good a day as any to celebrate Joan Mastodon's special ambassodor in the Arctic, the wonderful @NunavutBirder. He too has reason to rejoice: for him up in #Nunavut, it's only six weeks until the sun will rise again, ending the long unbroken arctic winter night:

May 2026 be the year where the ever extending political and cultural darkness begins to recede.
Happy Solstice. Today the earth will begin its tilt back towards the Sun (here in the North). Six weeks until we see it. #Nunavut
