Hello everyone, my name is Alexey, and my four-legged friend is Pyosel. After a long vacation, I returned to my dugout, I want to work a little, and then relax.

During my absence, quite a lot of snow fell, so I had to spend time digging out the door to the dugout.
Inside, everything is in order, no one came, all things are in their places. Even the Christmas tree is standing, which I did not remove last time.
I take off the vest from Pyosel, when he runs through the snowdrifts, then snow gets under his clothes, then it melts and turns into ice so that the dog does not freeze, I take off the vest and hang it next to the stove so that it dries.
He poured water for Pyosel, but he does not drink it, funny. In winter, he eats snow to quench his thirst.
Today I brought new yellow goggles, my previous black goggles, and when it gets dark outside, it becomes not so convenient to work, and yellow glasses will be comfortable even at dusk. I also brought saw oil, it is designed for use at low temperatures, down to -40 degrees Celsius. Also bought a corner and knee pads.
I go for dry branches and birch bark to fire the stove.
Further, according to the plan, to clear the snow near the entrance to the dugout. Working with a wooden shovel, I noticed that an iron bar came off, which allowed the shovel to slide on the snow and not rest, I decided to try to clean the snow with another shovel, which is completely made of iron, and then I was disappointed, because this shovel is also not convenient to clean the snow, the edge of the shovel is too sharp and sticks into the snow, so that this does not happen, you have to tilt the shovel down so that the angle between the ground and the shovel is sharp enough, 15-20 degrees, then the shovel does not rest against the snow and slides. But this complicates the cleaning process. You need to buy a new shovel.
A long time ago, the wind knocked down a birch, and now I want to cut it into firewood. So that Pyosel would not suffer, I locked him inside the dugout while sawing firewood.
Next, I split the tree into small firewood, it's quite difficult, but I did it. Now I have a lot of firewood. It is a pity that the battery of the saw ran out so quickly and I could not cut more stumps.
While I was working on firewood, the stove went out, I had to re-heat it so that the dog would not be cold inside.
After a few minutes of relaxation with my four-legged friend, I start preparing dinner.
Today on my menu are beef sausages, which I'm going to fry. While cooking, I fed my dog food. I cut the vegetables and go to dinner. Bon appetit, if you suddenly also eat now.
The day has come to an end. Thank you for being with us.

Happy viewing!
