This Sucks !!!!

Burrrrrr, its Cold out this mornin' ! :evil: :evil:

Me NOT like severe Cold, it could be colder,,,, tho

temp on my meter says 10* degrees

anything below 45* I don't like anymore !

I've got 2 full cords of chopped / Split firewood stored in my basement nice & dry , thankfully, I hate goin out in the cold, when its cold to get wood, at my age anymore !!

That and I don't wanna slip & fall and risk breaking something or hurting my back again.

Got wood on the Fire, in the Buck Stove roarin' its 88* in my house this mornin' on this 10* morning :P

Feels soooo Good !!!

The Buck Stove has a 2-Speed Blower on it that kicks out lots of Hott Air !

I'm heating 2000 sq feet with it, in case your wondering and it more than does the job !

I've had the Temp inside up to 92*, inside, on a zero temp night back a few years ago , tho you were putting wood on the fire about every hour and half to maintain that temp.

I was the only house on the block with No snow on its roof :shock: :D

Heres some Photos !

I feel for you!

Typical Mid-West temperatures for the time of year?

8*C/47*F in my back garden at the moment!

Pressure: 1007. Steady.

Rather cool...Central Heating on!

Hopefully, Spring is on its way!

Living in sunny California, we don't see these temps where I live. However, I'm fresh home from a 3-week trip to Milwaukee, where it snowed on Super Bowl Sunday, and was -2* the following Monday.
Keep the home fire burning!

Whenever you think that "it" couldn't get worse, you just aren't using your imagination. :lol:

Being a bit cold probably isn't too bad... :roll: ...!

The Real Reason I have that Tiger and that Leapord that ya see in the photos

is because , sometimes I have to work in the early afternoons into the mid evenings over at the Truck Shop, and I leave the front window curtains open.

I live in the suburbs I gots neighbors and stuff in De' Neighborhood , so, I put the Lion up on the Back of the couch which is against the Big Picture window facing the street so everybody can see as they drive by.

The Leapord is standing near by too.

Now everybody slows down when they pass by my house loookinnnnnn ,,, are those real ??? :D :P :roll: :dance:

I also have since realized that they keep the Burglers and robbers away and something to think about, IF, they were thinkin about doin something they shouldn't be doin' ??????

Now , who'd want to break into a house with a Lion and a Leapord starin ya in De' Face as you come thru the door ??? :hand: :naughty: :naughty: :shifty:


The Mailman is even afraid to come to the door

the Cops won't even come down the street !

The Fire Dept says your on your own !

and those Jevo'witnesses take off runnin like greased lightinin' !!!

I picked those 2 critters up at the Grocery Store a year ago on sale to keep my other Husky Company after her Death in 2013, shes on her "Throne" in the photo !!

The lady that did got her head up to high, some mis- communication I suppose , I told her that I was going to mount her on a base about 4 ft. high, so I don't want her lookin up at the Clouds, but kinda straight ahead.

and 11 months later I get Keisha back and shes lookin for Airplanes in the Sky instead of straight ahead - Go Figure !

ohhh well, it is what it is ,,, live with it I suppose, that is until I decide to get the Dremel Tool out and do some Modifications just under the neck myself to tilt the head down more reasonably so its looks better !!

Get around to it one day

workin with "Fiberglass" is what the coat is stretched over a Fiberglass mold !! in case your wondering or were curious .
