For recreation, I'll grant you, but how crazy are you to get on a shore boat headed to land in Pearl Harbor... so there is that. I still think I'd do it—recreationally or otherwise. I would already have done if it for the kix if it weren't so expensive, when there are plenty of other fun things to do. I'm a lot more breakable now though, so maybe not.
It was 13° at 2 AM. It is 40°F now. The sun is shining and the wind is blowing. Still bone dry.
Here, its been raining for the past two days. Last night it was storming and blew the roof off of my new coop.
Here because of the constant wind, we build everything sturdy.
It is a comfortable 64°F back here. I turned off the pellet stove in the living room because it was all the way up to 72°F.
I don't know what the temps were here yesterday but it was really nice. I was building raised beds in the greenhouse, both doors (incl the roll-up tractor door) wide open & it was perfect. I thought I was buying lumber for one more but I'm not sure now. DH thinks I should leave that space open but I'm concerned the lumber may disappear again once the election gets settled.
I waited a long time to pay 2.5 X normal price. I dunno. 
The plastic tubs work well. I'm using 1/2 plastic drums and 45 gallon tree planters. The chickens love them to dust bath in.I don't know what the temps were here yesterday but it was really nice.

I have a lotta molasses tubs (for planters) to put somewhere so I guess I'll start drilling holes in those. I plan to fill in the bottoms with half rotted smallish branches. We have many.
Had to ring them with wire. Just keep adding compost on top and plant away.
I stuck a tray in the middle of my living room. I have radishes, lettuce, kohlrabi, cantaloupe, a watermelon and as of last night a Gold Nugget tomato plant in it. The trays in front of the windows have Northern Exposure tomato plants .I don't know what the temps were here yesterday but it was really nice.
