What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Thanks for all the well wishes wildwest , Gasifier and Backwoods Savage By lunch time yesterday, I was feeling great. Headache gone, cold symptoms gone. We sat and watched hockey and I worked on a puzzle. Felt so good I didn't want to go to bed.

This morning, headache back and tummy upset in the middle of the night. campinspecter would say I spent to much time hunched over the puzzle and did in my shoulders. I think my headaches come from getting my neck and shoulders cramped up. Good news is that by lunch it should be gone.

I read through the Snowpacolypse thread. Dare I mention that we have above freezing temps, clear skies and a bit of a sailing wind out on the water. Looks like it is going to be a nice day.

 

Hehe.

Sounds like you're on the mend Woodwidow

 

we sure didn't get much snow, less than we were said to have received, but it is cold out there. 3 degrees at 10 am with a real feel of -9. They say it will get to double digits above today, 11 degrees by 1 pm, then dropping to about 4 degrees overnight.

I have the thermostat for the furnace set at 67 and it turns on once in a while. Not as often as I would expect. Next winter should be much better as we are having a lot done to the house. New siding with a tyvek style house wrap, the remaining original windows ( 3 double hung, and 1 big leaky bay widow energy hog) are all being replaced, as well as a new roof with proper venting (ridge, where we have only a couple little vents now) should all help out with keeping this place warmer, and make my stove's wood use a bit less. Or maybe it might get closer to how warm Dennis keeps his house and I use the same amount of wood. LOL

 

Woke up to no water pressure, frozen pipe in the utility room
Just got it flowing again, sitting down with some brew and have decided to stay inside as it has been really cold
-37, windchill of -45

 

Glad you got water back Creekin

 

I was thinking maybe schlot was standing on 1 of those famous milk crates.

 

Not sure who that goof ball is.

Funny I'm 6'4" but never think of myself as somewhat tall until I see pictures of myself.

 

Had to take a brake to warm up. When I cam back to the shop to refuel the skid steer my beer was starting to freeze. Been pushing snow around for 2 hours. Boy is it cold 8*. Got the snow about half way tamed. At least I can get out now. A little more warming and I will go out and shovel the front side walk.

 

I'm 5'9" with my work boots. I'm always the short round guy.

 

Thanks Madamme!

 

Made some firewood today. Felt good when the sun was shining and the wind was calm. Then the opposite of that happened and I headed back inside. Wind chill advisory tonight and tomorrow. House is nice and warm though.

 

Thanks, Chaz, We wound up with four inches of the nasty snow. Mostly water and ice. Had to bring out the snowblower as it was too heavy to shovel. It did a good job. We will see what happens tonight. Hope everyone has a great night.

 

Caught a meat freezer just in the nick of time today......always fun having to fit everything into other freezers when one breaks.....

 

Ok my wonderful wife needs to learn to take before she complains!! The winds outside are fierce predicting to 35 below tomorrow. The bottom corner of door inside had snow inside size of a nickel.. Now my doors are not perfect but they are definitely above average. Part that scares me is there is a storm door already on outside!!..

 

8PM here and already 5 below. We only got 4 inches of snow.
