I can't get the dog to go outside. I open the door and he runs the other way. Probably thinking "Why don't you go out and take a leak and see how you like it. Better yet try taking a dump outside".
Had heat underneath also, evidently not enough.Good luck. I have heat lamps in the well house and under the house and am hoping it's enough.
Yeah, I'm hopeful, but not 100% confident.Had heat underneath also, evidently not enough.
Wow SC, I did not know they moved the city of Lake Placid to Florida, I heard people were leaving New York, but dang a whole city!!!!!This is our local forecast for Christmas. Wind chill temperatures but for us this can be brutal cold. 30s and 20s are just different in Florida. We are not built for this.
When it is 24 in Frostproof, it is no longer frost proof.

Gusting snow right now. Wind really howling. We're still ahead of the deep freeze, but it is coming.
On another topic, I was reading a piece about the Bengals clinching a playoff berth and came across an interesting fact: No NFL team has started 0-2 and made the playoffs since the 2017-2018 season until the Bengals. That seems so unlikely in the NFL, given the parity and also the propensity of the league to schedule all those made-for-TV early match-ups between contending teams. You'd think that would happen every year.

Pissickles?
Yeah butt, if you had hemorrhoids the cooling sensation might feel good for a moment.Heck crapping chunks of ice has got to hurt....
Your cold was a lot worse, but I went through a winter survival school once. Maybe it will help a little if things get bad enough. Oddly the coldest I ever been was in Viet Nam, 40 foot up in the air in a guard tower with no place to get out of the wind, no cold weather gear and an abnormally cold night.Speaking of freezing temps, back in the early 80's around February, I was at Ft. Wainwright Alaska for 30 days with a unit from the 101st out of Ft. Campbell. Our first few days were classes and equipment pickup for extreme cold weather training. One major who was an instructor there took me and a couple of others to a door to the outside and threw his cup of coffee up into the air and it crystallized before it hit the ground. The temp at the time was around -40Ā° with a wind chill factor of around -90Ā° as the wind was blowing very hard.
After getting our training and equipment, we spent a week in the field in and around some mountain ranges with the temps in the -20's and 30's with wind chill factors much colder. Below is us on a road march with ski's in tow and the other picture is the inside of a 10-man tent with a Yukon gravity fuel fed stove. That stove was a life saver. On the ground is pine branches so as to keep from having our equipment in mud. As the Yukon stove heated up, the frozen ground would get wet and muddy.
We have entered a heat wave in Smiths Grove. We have stopped out at a balmy 0Ā°F. I am getting my swim suit out.
@BBUKI am thankful here... getting cold but I have a gas fireplace so if we lose power (I paid my bill) we should be able to keep warm. Just stocked up on food and drinks. Have a fridge full of Yuengling but haven't drank anything worth talking about in weeks. Started to several times but never completed the deal.... Who knows but if I wanted to, I could...
On that note...we have a Amazon Fresh store that opened near us... I walked in it last night to get a couple babana's for the BB. I walked around the store unimpressed...no deals at all. Bought TWO banana's for 30 cents (okay)
I saw they had a liquor section and I was going to walk in and browse... They guy standing there stated he needed to see my ID, I laughed but flashed my license figuring he was checking my age... The chump stated he had to SCAN my license, I walked away laughing... Ridiculous now....buying soon will cause anyone to have to verify who they are to buy food I guess. Just a HORRIBLE situation brewing! UN-American... to state the least. Communistic to state it accurately. (I didn't show it but I got seriously hot. Anger emerged...)
@BBUK
Speaking of scanning drivers license. I have a cousin who is on a 6 month assignment to Maine to help in the medical field up there. They are short on RA's and asked Florida to help so she went. The pay is doubled and she is a widow with grown children. Her husband died a few years ago at age 45. Five others from her office went.
She went to the grocery store and pulled out her purse to pay in cash. The cashier stopped her and said no currency is accepted. "I will need your drivers license, a credit card or your bank debit card". She said why the drivers license and the answer was to scan it. Scan it for what she asked. The government, the government wants us to scan all transactions. She refused and left without the groceries.
Is this coming to all of America?
Wow, we're lucky, Bert. 28Ā°F and sunny here. Not bad, actually. Wind is brutal.We have entered a heat wave in Smiths Grove. We have stopped out at a balmy 0Ā°F. I am getting my swim suit out.
I hope it's not speedo's!!!!!!We have entered a heat wave in Smiths Grove. We have stopped out at a balmy 0Ā°F. I am getting my swim suit out.
Yep! I posted a link related to that the other day on the political board. They intentionally used the wrong size paper to jam the machines.I have not read this at all but posting it in the spirit of Christmas....
Printer settings changed on Election Day, linked to tabulators rejecting ballots: Maricopa official

I remember. I prefer cold for Christmas but not polar cold.Last year it was nearly 70 degrees on christmas day. iām sure missing that global warming.
My sister from Florida that I haven't seen in four years (thought it was three) won't make it again due to the flu. No big deal. Don't need liberal talking points at the Christmas table, especially now.
That is what I told her but she insisted on going over there and checking it out. It will be 50Ā° this afternoon and the sun is very bright now. Clear skies with no clouds in sight.I'm no plumber and it's been a while since I stayed at a Holiday Inn, but at 26, even without heat indoors for a short time, she should be ok. I've done some reading because of my pipes. I have pex pipes and my reading says they do pretty good down to 20.
