The pot is a GSI Soloist. The stove is a Batchstovez 2.0. The windscreen is DIY out of aluminum flashing. The aluminum reflector is from an MSR windscreen kit. It is useful in helping prevent catching wood tables on fire. The insulating base (for cold weather use) is DIY out of thin plywood.

Hot sugar HURTS!
There was enough of a water flow from the little creek in Wintersmith Park that feeds into the lake, that they could either walk on ice around the edges or swim in the middle.
This was the 8th or 9th inning and the Sox were only down by two. But the crowd was thinning here in the bleachers. (That's Cody Ross out there in right field.) Some people had left the game, others had down below the bleachers and grandstand to get in line to run around the bases when the game was over.

At the southern end, only a few hundred metres from the lookout carpark, is a small section of dry sclerophyll forest.
It is about the only part of the 6km long track that has thin enough treecover beside it to provide a view.

Again, my first time looking at these. Probably micas mostly? I'll learn how to identify stuff next week.
Looks like this is Brown-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia triloba - a native member of the Aster family (Asteraceae). Also called Browneyed Susan,Thin-leaved coneflower, and Three-lobed Rudbeckia.
This is a biennial or short-lived perennial plant up to 5' tall. It branches frequently at the leaf axils and its appearance is rather bushy at maturity. The stems are dark red and they have conspicuous white hairs, particularly along the upper half of the plant. The alternate leaves are up to 4" long and 2" across. They are lanceolate to ovate, slightly to coarsely dentate, and rough-textured from minute stiff hairs. Some of the lower leaves are divided into three lobes though this is not always a reliable identifying characteristic. Individual upper stems terminate in 1-2 flowerheads. Each flowerhead is about 1½-2" across, consisting of usually 6-12 ray florets that surround a brown to black flattened cone of numerous disk florets (though this plant has apparently 5 ray florets). The petaloid rays of the flowerheads are bright yellow and oblong in shape.
Brown-Eyed Susan can be distinguished from similar species by the smaller size of its flowerheads and the smaller number of ray florets per flowerhead. It is usually more tall and bushy than Rudbeckia hirta (Black-Eyed Susan), but it is shorter with fewer lobed leaves than Rudbeckia laciniata (Cutleaf Coneflower).
Native Distribution: New York to Georgia, south to southern Minnesota, western Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and Oklahoma; escaping northeastward. Also found in Ontario and Quebec.
Native Habitat is open, moist woods.
Blooms June through October.
