A long overdue ride to Megantic
While waiting for Maude, I went in the Veterans Park facing the lake to read. In the background, the ever present Mt Megantic.
It's been quite a while since I left La Patrie the last time. Maude was heading towards Megantic and I asked her to go along.
I shopped a bit. Among other thing, I bought a light to lit my night on the road to the cabin. For the last ten days or so, it's been impossible to ride over there without a light of some sort. I couldn't see my hand in front of my eyes! It was getting a bit cumbersome to hold a flashlight in one hand and the steering with the other. So I bought this LED beam made for Raleigh bicycles.
I will also try to use it as a lamp in the cabin, hopefully replacing one of the kerosene lamps. This is really the light of the future, for it is quite bright and use so less energy. It is said to be able to last 150 hours on 4 AAA batteries!
Tomorrow, I am going to this friend's place to redo the roofing of the balcony. And Saturday I might go to Quebec City. A big expedition!
The countdown for the move in now on. I'll soon be in Scotstown. With Maude I went to visit her sister and the in-law at Milan. They have these two houses that are running on solar energy and have other interesting eco-fixture.
The latest house is not finished yet. The structure is made of barn beams and the walls will be made of hay, one foot thick with cement or something both side for covering. They should do the hay within the next few days.
