January 1, 2012 - Tak decided to start his year off jumping into Lake Washington.
Maya, Sean and I were there to provide support...and to mock a bit. I don't have a picture of him in the water, only video. He did it though!
Soon after that we had a mighty ice storm. There aren't that many ice storms in the Pacific NW so it really shut everything down for quite a while. Four days with no power.
It sure is pretty though. This is our fence top.
We closed off the entire house except for the dining room and the living room. We cooked on the Japanese propane stove and ran the pellet stove off the generator. Tak looks like he's having the time of his life...
We also had our kotatsu that is usually in the TV room in the living room. It has a heater mounted underneath. It kept us toasty-mostly. It still got pretty cold in the house. On the third day we remembered our kerosene heater and lived a bit more comfortably.
