I'm gone stay right here unless acted upon by an external force superior to the stiction I have nurtured and developed over these many years. Y'all stay warm, dammit! 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm currently going through some medical stuff. I haven't been eating and drinking too well, some caused by the meds, some by the sick itself. With the current (actually surprisingly chilly) cold snap, it seems to me that my body has zero calories left to burn for heat. I guess my body will simply freeze solid while I'm just standing there, enjoying it, while it also barely sustains my vitals. For the last week, if I go outside I feel instantly frozen dead. INSTANTLY. It's weird how instantly it happens. No mail or garbage dumps into the big cans for me! HA! (I got accused of wasting calories several times while in AK. Always by elders. I think I know how they know.) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 30° and snowing. I’m heading to work because someone will want to shoot skeet today. Skeet shooters are nuts. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It was so cold at the retina doc's office, I kept my scarf on, and never even unbuttoned my boiled wool pea coat. And I'm usually the one complaining it's too hot when anyone turns the heat up past 64F. I wore my sunglasses home cause the beautiful sunny day on all the snow was a little hard on my dilated eyes. BUT, my eyes are not any worse, so no surgery for me for at least 6 more months. Yippee! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 I went to check on the inlaws' wood situation. They were fine so I walked out to the tractor shed and then back to pick up the mail. That worked out so well I decided to call it a day. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm going to play with boiling (hot-hot wash; hot-hot dry, anyway) my Pea coat (a classic vintage goodwill find) to see if it's get to, like, an inch thick. I washed it warm; dried medium heat, long ago and it worked well (i was going for thickness). Because goodwill doesn't let you pick your size, this one is still plenty big on me, so I think it'll work. ALL YOUR THERMAL UNITS ARE BELONG TO ME!! +++ My daughters were amazed that I have a "sweater shaver" (removes pilling and works very well (another goodwill find) and they didn't know that those even existed). They happily sat around the living room, yapping and drinking and shaving everything they had brought with them. +++ p.s. : Peacoats are about the warmest coat that God ever invented. And they float. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Don't even get me started on wooly-pullys or gas handwarmers..... -or- Those Russian ushanka hats (russian/polish/slovakian/czech whatever --I can't read the labels and markings) (never at goodwill. Surplus stores only.). Warmest headgear evar invented. (leave the enameled hammer/scythe logo pins in the hats. Younger people will instantly know they should be offended, but then they don't even actually know why. Adults will. Fun With Generations!) 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukenukem Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It got to a balmy 28 degrees here today. Sun was shining. Thought about wearing shorts. I was out and about tonight or I would have lit a fire. ETA: it’s 10 out now. By Thursday supposed to be 48 and rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
