Morning, peoples. Aftermath of the blizzard doesn't appear too dire. More blowing than actual snowfall. However, wind chill supposed to be down to -30F. That chit just ain't right

Good eve eve folks. No blizzard but a nice 43/67 on tap. Youse cold weather dudes keep warm and safe out there.

A Good Friday Morning to all. It's a windy 34° on the way to just 40° today.

Top o' the mornin' dudes... and Mrs. Sledn...

Garage cabinets get installed today. Will finally get the space organized and looking presentable. Still need to get a butcher block top for the work bench. Was told they'd charge me $1,000 for something I can have cut at Lowe's or Home Depot for $350. Sooooo... gonna do that part myself.

17 degrees heading to 33. 2 degrees with wind chill.

57 right now, but I think that chit is headed this way tonight for a few days.

3/4" plywood works well too... 😟

Our older son did that, you can buy bulk butcher block material and a saw for less $$$.

And gift the leftovers for Christmas presents... 👍

Mornin Ya'll...

It's a Frozen Tundra round these parts... first time of seeing snow since last year which was brief winter as I recall...

Hope it's back to summer weather next week!!! 🤦 🇨🇮 🇨🇮

Morning all!

Holy cold!

-8 degrees out there with a wind chill of -34 degrees. Blizzard winds up to 60MPH. 60 degrees in the house of Sledn. To cold. Youngest's school canceled classes days ago due to the incoming storm. However, they still have to attend their 3 hour half day, virtually. So silly. Give the kids a day, err 3 hours...

Grinches...


Stay warm all.

MACS, that sounds like a cool project you are working on. Did you move out of Cali?

Friday greetings one & all. 🇨🇮

Holy Hell it's cold.

I prepared as best I could in the middle of my workweek. Wore my coveralls and two coats, my best gloves, skimask and hat to/from work because the car doesn't even get comfortably warm until nearly to my destination in this kind of weather. Also pulled the generator out and ran it for a bit with a load and ran a cable through the wall to the basement so I could hook up the furnace if necessary and filled up 3 5g jugs of water - my gen won't run the well.

My beater wouldn't start last night so I took wife's car which is also a gamble since the battery is the original from 2016. I also packed an overnight bag to bring to work in case we got stuck there, it's happened 3x since I've been there and the longest was 3 days 2 nights. Had my meds, earbuds, phone charger, underpants and socks, and nyquill to knock me out to sleep in whatever area they stuck us in.

Got home, car is reading -12 and accuweather says windchill -40 and I believe it. Took about 45 minutes to shovel the driveway everything had to be chipped up and then tossed with the wind instead of off to both sides. Worked up a heavy sweat that made the little exposed skin on my face very painful but overall I stayed warm. Glasses iced over pretty quickly so I couldn't see chit but I left em on for windblocking.

Get inside and strip down to my jeans and now sweat moistened tshirt and I'm fuggin cold. Furnace is running and I can see steam coming out of the exhaust on the side of the house but I check the thermostat and it's 59°. Ask wife if furnace been running all night she says yes never turned off. Went downstairs and furnace control board is flashing code for overtemp sensor open. Cuts burner gas by half. Usually from a dirty filter but I just changed it last week. Pulled the filter and threw in a new one and bypassed the sensor. House is back up to 67. Gonna order a new sensor. Third one in 12 years. I need to bite the bullet and get a new furnace.

Then I go to the garage to grab a beer to find out there is none.

Today sucks

Good morning MrsSledn... 😄

That really sucks danm.

Morning Gents 34° is the high down here with 15 to 20 mph winds. It's supposed to be like this all weekend.
