Well, I'm up and around this morning. Don't have a lot to do. It's cold again, 10 as the day starts here. Never made it into the 30 yesterday....barley into the 20s and that was late in the day. They are saying it might reach 50 in some parts of my area today, upper 40s for sure....we'll see. Saturday night into Sunday morning, is supposed to be -10, Sundays high is supposed to be 4. Not a real fun day.

I hope that everyone here has a good day. Stay warm and out of the snow.

Feeling philosophical this morning.


There is no better gift you can give yourself than living in the present.




Meanwhile on the home front ......


Sue and I had a conversation before the holidays. I inquired as to what she might like as a gift from me. She responded "Nothing would make me happier than diamonds." So that's what she got. Nothing.

Good morning, all.

Quite cold this morning (12 degrees) and some (but not all) of the Pex pipes froze (sigh) because I forgot to run them last night. I'll try to baby them back to functionality as it gets a little warmer.

Brought the 2003 in for state inspection this morning and outside of the shop is a red 1971/1972 Impala convertible (black top) with the Turbo Fire 400 getting a much-needed dose of antifreeze. Takes me back in time …

OVERCAST AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, BUT NOT SO COLD AS YESTERDAY. THE WEATHER BOFFINS ARE PREDICTING SINGLE DIGITS THIS WEEKEND. THE CHEROKEES ARE NOT AMUSED.

GOT TO PAY SOME BILLS TODAY, MY BOOKKEEPER BEING AWOL, AND RUN SOME ERRANDS.

MARCUS, HERE'S ONE FOR YOU:

I kept waiting for ground or pilot error, bird strike or the like. Must be the 6 o'clock news effect. Always expecting something bad to happen.

Hidey-ho! Just biding my time until it quits snowing, so I can go out and shovel - hopefully before the thermometer dips below 0 again (it is a balmy 9 degrees at the moment).

Good news, John - hopefully no or minimal damage.

Tommy, is that a cymbal of your love?

Bundle up, Gurus!

Is this in your house, or in the shop? That just sucks, John, that it freezes at all. Is this in a crawl space or exterior wall?

Thanks for the shopping tips, gurus.

We planned on taking the kids to the science and industry museum today. Got down there and it was beyond ridiculously mobbed with people. The member parking garage was closed due to capacity which meant $20 pay parking was all that was left. We had 2 cars. Nope. We turned around and went to the outlet mall instead. Spent a few hours there. Sister bought some home goods and we just putzed around with the kids.

Getting ready to head to mom's for dinner and some late gift exchanges.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Matthew

It's on the exterior wall on the new second shed dormer, which does have decent and modern insulation. The line that freezes the most easily makes no sense—it's a cold water shower line that's among the shortest.

Why do they put water lines in exterior walls? Especially with Pex, it's so easy to run that stuff somewhere else. Not that I am a plumber.....I hate f*@king plumbing.... Have I ever mentioned that before?

You have. To be fair, the layout of our second floor didn't give us a lot of options.
