Merry Christmas. I was hoping to be able to post some serious updates here. You see, I took a bunch of vacation because I need to burn up the hours or lose them. The kids are at school, the wife is at work. So I am a man alone, with his dog and his truck. What could be a better time than that huh?

June would be a better time as a matter of fact. That is actually reading a little high. Officially it has warmed up to -9F and may get above zero this afternoon. Frostbite kind of takes the joy out of my mental therapy sessions.

I have a propane fired heater in the garage, but without the ceiling finished, it would be difficult to get it comfortable in there. The sad thing is, it's only december. The cold part of winter is still a month away. The really sad thing is that this is an improvement over the weekend we just finished. -15F and a 30 mph wind will take the starch out of just about anyone. Where the hell is that global warming at?
