Of all the things to eat before going to the middle of nowhere... Biscuits and gravy is not something I'm too worried about not getting again.

What if you get there and they've got nothing but Korean food? You'll be wishing you'd hit up that b&g truck for sure...

Been twice now.
There's one Korean restaurant in the city.
The woman was not thrilled by it.
They did not have their food packaged in burrito format, so I wasn't too thrilled either. :)

Did you make it? I'm toying with the idea of a "bone-in" chili using quick seared pork ribs... I Just don't know enough about chili making to know if it'll work... Seems like it should...


You can make it any way you want. Mine is home made ground turkey-breast chili. Pork rib meat would be interesting.

hey everyone, hope you all are doing well and keeping warm.

I was really sad to hear that the 'Sip herf was cancelled but even more sad to find out why. Prayers for Ray!

Hit the hardware store with the daughter and picked up a couple gallons of paint for the kitchen walls and cabinets... Got home and whipped up some strawberry syrup and then made strawberry milkshakes... Pick the boy up in an hour, then home to start painting... Probably get roped into some wii time as well... Can't be angry about Mario I guess...

It's starting....

Furnace is running overtime, on more than off already and it's only just dipping below zero. But it's getting really windy.

Piled snow around the chicken coop to hope for some protection.

Even the husky dog doesn't want to be outside.

-50° windchills tonight. This is bad.

Tell your husky its ancestors used to pull sleds in this chit daily. Minus animal care, l feel your pain. Hoping if my car quits, it's either before I leave home or after I get to work. In between would be very bad

Wife is driving to Indy tomorrow. She's one of those people who refuses to prepare for the worst in weather like this because "i'm going from a heated garage to a heated building somewhere and don't need to worry about it". Has been stranded in a ditch under snow but still didn't learn her lesson. 2 years ago I had to go tow her home from Indy area after her engine blew, and she didn't have heat for a few hours.

After she goes to bed tonight I'm putting a kit in her trunk. I suspect she'll be removing it before she leaves but I did my part.

Enjoying a double 🥃. Wife's work closed all Wisconsin locations. The closed school. I'm taking a vacation day.

Not fit for man nor beast. The husky confirms that.

Beans are done after 12 hours in the crock pot.

Stock I made from my last smoked chicken's stripped carcass and leftover bits and bone from my last smoked pork butt. 2lb red beans, 3bell, 5 jalapeno and 10 habanero peppers, 1 sweet onion, 1 celery, 1lb sausage and the seasonings.

Delicious.

Buy em. I've tried canning in the past but wife hates having things around the house that "never get used" and threw away all my canned veggies two years in a row, so I don't even try anymore.

Was washing dishes and the dogs came upstairs so they could go outside to pee. I grabbed the door handle and my hand stuck to it.

Off to bed. Current temps ... -8/-42.

If you want to look at the frozen glass half full, with the wind chill, we are only 74 degrees below freezing.

The difference between the feeling of an ice cube in your hand, and the air outside is the same difference in the opposite direction as feeling a 100 degree summer day vs an ice cube.

It's effing cold.

It's nights like this, having an 18 year old furnace (which needed $800 of work 13 months ago) weighs on the mind a bit. Clouding that pesky organ with a nice bourbon washing.

Only 110 degrees from a cool day where wearing shorts is a possibility.

Opened the doors to let the dogs out and the storm door froze open,the struts seized.

You're about a month and a half away from 70 degree weather?

On another note... floors in the bathrooms will get remodeled with tile Thursday-Saturday. Then next week we'll do the wood laminate on the stairs...

The 2% body fat greyhound won't go outside.

Feels like The Shining. Every time the furnace stops, the anxiety begins to climb.

I can't sleep for that exact reason.

Every time it cut out and fired up I woke up.

And now I get to worry about wife on road trip plus the house and can't sleep cause I'm home with the boy.

Radio reported 4 different power outages in the state. Milwaukee, Racine, Mineral Point and somewhere else. Unsure of the number of affected people.

I wonder how any deaths will be attributed to this.
