I just text my buddy in Farmington NM a pic of my trucks display that read -3. He said it has been in the low 60s most days. Every time we talk about the weather it makes me consider moving south/west that much more.

I hear you 21. My oldest lived in Vegas and is now in Fla. It's starting to sound good.
-24 Here tonight with a wind chill of -41 and my propane tank is down below 5%. Delivery doesn't get here until the morning. Thermostats are turned down lower for tonight.

It was high 70s here today, and has been that or in the 80s for the last 3 or 4 weeks! This is February? Unseasonable for here, but NOT complaining a bit!

The complaining comes in the summer when it is simply unbearable to go outside for ANY reason. Even at night it will be too hot. And yes, the complaining will commence from here in the Valley of the (Way Too Damn Hot) Sun. I'll try and keep it toned down ...

 

[Torchie]

-28 right now and waiting on the propane guy.
I called them and they are having their own set of problems with emergency deliveries and not being able to get all the delivery trucks started.

We're at 25 this morning
I have to run into town to get a capacitor for my shop furnace. The blower has gotten to where it won't start.

 

[gold03]

I hope you get a break on the weather... I did

Propane was delivered cc. Guy said my tank was down to 1%.
No progress on the project. My Father-in-law passed on Saturday. Not unexpected as he was 90 and in hospice, but we have been over to the Moms-in-law.
Also it's still just to cold to go out into the shop. -20 again this morning.
Thanks for checking in on me.......

Sorry to hear about your Father-in-law
You were really lucky on the propane percentage.
Around here if you run out they charge you $75 extra because of a leak test they are required to do.

 

[soltz]

That's Cutting It Close

1% is not much, one blocked road and you would have a cold weekend [cl

Condolences for you father-in-law. Some times it's for the best, as was my case.
Stay warm [S

 

[I-R-POPS]

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. It's never easy when that happens in a family even if you know it's coming.
Keep plugging and stay warm brother.

Same thing here OI. That's why I was worried about the delivery time as I knew it was getting close. I would have got it the week before but I didn't have the money. Got away with it this time.

My condolences on the father in law Torchie! I hope it warms up for you also. It was in the 80s today here and I can't imagine what you guys go thru just to work in the garage...[P
