... on account o' because we're gonna be spending the next four nights in the Holiday Inn Express just across the highway. I thought about this long and hard before I decided to abandon El Casa Móvil De Pennington for a warmer space. My Inner Macho Man said "don't be a freakin' wuss, it's just a lil cold, is all." Macho Man was winning until I ran into Jenny at Wally-World and she was pretty emphatic with the "do it!" thing. Which all goes to prove that women are generally smarter than men when it comes to macho stuff.
And just how cold will it be? This cold:
I can do overnight temps in the teens but below zero stuff just ain't ANY fun. At all.
Low temps of an even ZERO? Up with the finger to that.
ReplyDeleteMake sure to leave your water running :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent decision. I'm assuming they have wi-fi.
ReplyDeleteGood Decision Buck. I'd have done that too. And like Anon, leave the water running (or getcha some heat trace).
ReplyDeleteBTW, just went to stabb.com and converted you. Yup, it'll be cold. The converter says 0*F is -17.777*C. Get out your long underwear.
ReplyDeleteInno: The temps are plummeting as we speak. I'm thinkin' we're gonna be colder than the forecast nine degrees tonite.
ReplyDeleteAnon: The water WILL be running, you may rest assured. It's running as we speak.
Andy: They do have wi-fi. We shall remain warm AND connected.
Deb: I've heard it said that once ya get under ten degrees F it don't feel much colder, no matter how low ya go. I'm here to tell ya that's BS. As you know, I'm sure.
I'm just happy a guy listened to my advice. LOL! Let's see if my family will be joining you at the HIE if we lose power. Or we may be moving INTO our camper (as it will have heat but no water).
ReplyDeleteYou were the deciding factor, Jenny. True story. It's already waay cold out!
ReplyDeleteDiscretion is the better part of valor. You know how I feel about the cold, so I think you made the right choice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, BR... we're of the same mind. But Jenny really WAS the input I needed... otherwise I'd still be back at the ranch.
ReplyDeleteWell, ENJOY!! We had warm temps over the weekend (I even had windows open for a few hours), just long enough to get used to it. The temps will begin to slide tomorrow night & they're threatening rain, ice, snow for Friday & Saturday. Come on, SPRING!! I'm just too old & skinny to be out running around in the cold stuff, no matter how many layers I've crawled into. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMiss BLinAL, I'm just too old & skinny to be out running around in the cold stuff, no matter how many layers I've crawled into. ;-)
ReplyDeleteRoger that. The storm is blowing in to NW Louisiana as I type. Temps to drop 50 degrees.
Crud...
Wow. Damn cold, Buck. Enjoy the relative luxury!
ReplyDeleteGood decision Buck. Ain't no reason to be shivering like a dog passing a peach seed, when the HIE is just across the road.
ReplyDeleteI'm just too old & skinny to be out running around in the cold stuff, no matter how many layers I've crawled into.
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us, Katy... three if ya count Andy!
Jim: "Relative" is correct. ;-)
Ed: Thank ya, Sir!
Thank goodness wisdom prevailed on this Buck. Sounds like the right decision all around. Stay safe & warm.
ReplyDeleteWe are hunkered down here now for this monster snow & ice storm. Got about 5 inches more of the white stuff since this morning; it's now sleeting which is supposed to last thru tomorrow evening.
Lovely.
Old Man Winter is hitting with a vengeance my friend!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Free Breakfast-o-ram a!
ReplyDeleteLord almighty, I hate autocorrect!
Kris: We haven't had much snow... about an inch, if that. But the cold has been brutal. You hang in there!
ReplyDeleteGlenn: To say the VERY least!
Moogie: The breakfast here is surprisingly good and the coffee pot is hot and full all day long. Surprisingly good coffee it is, too.
