It's abnormally warm for the time of the year. I went out fishing and caught a Pike at the first cast. It's a bit boring fishing like that :) In any case, I did release it and cooked some spicy pork pieces on the campfire. I close the video with some silent morning shots of the surrounding area; the sun was out and I spent the rest of the weekend doing forest work.

The beauty of the cold. Freezing temperatures, the frozen sea, snow covered lands. Life not just surviving, but thriving. Winter is amazing...

I've not been doing too well these past two weeks, and the amount of time I've been able to spend outdoors was sadly very little. One can feel autumn is here, and it's my favorite time of the year. Hopefully I'll be able to spend more time outside these coming weeks, and create some better videos. This short video tries to capture some of the changes taking place...

An experiment to see if we can charge a LiFePO4 cell in the cold, at -17C. From the test results we can see that very little current goes into the empty battery even when the power supply is set to 3.6V. After warming up, we can charge at full current. From the capacity test after a full charge we don't see any immediate damage - we draw full capacity. This might be different if we only charge at temperatures slightly below 0C.
