's ready. It always tastes better right after I clean the pot too!

8 degrees outside and the shop maintained 40 degrees all night on just the hydronic heat and without the furnace running. I guess that doesn't sound like much of a big deal, but keep in mind a 5 gallon, 110 volt, 1500 watt water heater is all that's heating the water for the system. It was kind if an experiment.

More snow for today. Good day to work in the shop.

Mornin'

MMMmmmm Good coffee.

Chaikwa - Your plan is working perfectly

Woke up to a frozen porch this morning. It's a good thing the roads didn't freeze over or we would have a similar case of the "torpedo pilots" down this way.

I sure am missin' my old Dodge right about now. Gonna have to rely on a friend with a 2500 4x4 Cummins to move all of this dang wood/lumber...and with all of this rain, I'm sure we're gonna need that 4x4. Found a house to rent. Nice little place on the mountain. Perfect timing and location which is odd for me . We'll take it.

I gots lotsa work to do. Ya'll have a good day - JKE

It is mass produced there now. The original plant (where they still make it with the original formula, called "Dublin Dr. Pepper") is in Dublin, Texas. Wife and I visited there 2 years ago. You can taste the difference between Dublin Dr. Pepper and regular Dr. Pepper (Dublin is much better, they use real sugar).

(And yes Dennis, Dr. Pepper is GOOD!!!!)

Good God, that IS cold. My brain is getting frostbite just thinking about it.

I am still running around in sweats all day ... probably won't be long before the long handle underwear will make their debut.

Belly is full and eyelids are drooping. Time to find a cozy spot in the bed and wait for the alarm to go off.

Please invade...I will then move south and join the better weather crowd.

Check and see what -40C is in the normal scale.
I never did figure this out.
