AFC and NFC....

 8:24 am - Monday - January 26th - TWW - 27° F, humidity 19%, cloud cover 41%, wind 7 mph out of the south by southeast.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 50° F, and a low of 19° F.  The view this morning.....

 ....and on this date in 2025 we were nearing completion of our permanent site here at TWW....

....this was the third day of work on the new site, but we still would have to move our shed, the 120 gallon propane tank, and the sister Newell before we could move our Newell into the site.

As you know from reading my post from yesterday, the overnight low here at TWW was between 19 and 21° F.  Due to our more moderate overnight lows recently we had not been running the diesel heater in the greenhouse at night, just the catalytic one.  When it gets into the low 20's/high teens we have to run both to protect the plants, which is what we did Saturday night.  On these cold nights we run the diesel heater anywhere from 10-12 hours, and the catalytic one on low for that same period of time.  Sometime during the night the propane for the catalytic heater ran out, and the temp in the greenhouse fell to 26° F for  short period of time, but the plants (broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower) survived unscathed.

The outside temp did not get to 40° F until near noon time, and since the AFC and NFC Championship games began at 1 pm we chose not to do any work.  The AFC game between New England and the Broncos was first up, and it was a close game.  The Broncos scored an early touchdown to go up 7-0, but their quarterback made a bad mistake near the end of the half to give New England a short field, and they scored quickly to tie the game.  At the beginning of the game it was sunny, and comfortable, but as the second half started it began to snow, and the wind began to blow.  New England managed a field goal to go up by 3, and that was the final score of the game as conditions continued to worsen.  The game ended on an INT by New England, so the Patriots will go to the Super Bowl.  The afternoon game pitted my L.A. Rams against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.  At half time the score was 17-13 in favor of the Seahawks.  The lead changed several times in the second half, but in the end Seattle prevailed 31-27, so the Super Bowl matchups are set, and in two weeks we will know who the new world champions are.

Sunday was a very sunny day, and our battery banks had no problem reaching their desired 100% charge level.  This coming Sunday (February 1st) TLE and I will be celebrating 15 years of living in the Newell fulltime, and 14 years of traveling.  All that being said, it seems as if this is how we have always lived.  Our former workaday lives seem like somebody else's lives.  Later this year TLE and I will become great grand parents for the 3rd time.  Life is good, and thanks for stopping by!
