On Saturday we started over to Harpon for a three day camping trip for Tommy’s birthday. About 1/2 way there he decided he would rather be on base for his birthday so with the weather coming in we turned around and headed back. On Sunday I spent the morning finishing off my MWP and then headed over to Maiviken hut to put a new turnbuckle on the hut.

Unfortunately the angle isn’t right so I will have to return with a shackle to sort it out.

As I turned around to head back before it got dark it started to sleet and snow.

As it was Tommy’s birthday and he likes bailey’s mousse and ice cream I made some homemade bailey’s chocolate ice cream instead of a cake and served it to him with a candle. It was quite a bit more work to make the ice cream without an ice cream maker but it is doable! I made ginger snaps as well but they didn’t turn out well so instead I put some triple ginger cookies with it that I had brought from California.

I also gave him a frame I made from a window frame I found at the whaling station with a picture of Rob, Tommy and I on holiday at the Greene last week.
