Let's talk about the weather.....

Yup, indeed, let's talk about the weather......it's not raining......it's not snowing......it's just plain cold!  When I arose this morning (Monday) it was just 22 degrees......that was at 8:15 am, so I can only imagine what the low was last night.  Right now all three electric heaters, plus the electric heater in the water bay are humming along chewing up about 40 amps of electric power......thank goodness I have a water bay heater, and thank goodness I have access to 100 amps of electricity!  The forecast seems to indicate the lows for the next 10 days will be mostly in the high 20's and low 30's with a few days up to high 30's.....feels like winter has arrived here at 4400' elevation.

I had sort of planned to take a bike ride Sunday, but with the day time temps barely surpassing 40 degrees by late afternoon TLE an I opted for indoor activities which mostly consisted of me watching NFL football, and TLE reading, plus at some point early afternoon she actually got dressed, got in the car and went shopping.  I got out side one time.....that was to go into the trailer and do my semi daily workout, which takes about 30 minutes, but that was the sum total of outdoor activity for me.

Since we arrived November 1st the weather has actually been pretty moderate with lows in the high 30's, and low 40's, but the past 5 days things have gotten much colder, and has been a constant reminder to me why we prefer to live where it doesn't get below 50 degrees.  Nevertheless, it does become necessary on occasion to spend time in weather that may not completely suit your fancy, such as now.  Some of the money we earn here at Amazon will go towards replacing our 'drive' tires when we get home to SoCal.  The rear tires are now 6 years old, and it is time they were retired from service.  And there are other things that need to be done service wise......have the brakes checked, lube the drive train, change the oil, change the filters (oil, tranny, fuel and air).  Anyway, short term jobs like this help remove these types of expenses from our regular operating budget giving us more disposable income for the rest of the time when we are rolling the wheels, plus put a little into savings.

There is nothing else to report.....it was just that kind of day.....a kind of day when you and your spouse comment frequently about the weather.

Thanks for stopping by!
