Too cold in the shop

[deere_x475guy]

Looks like this one is going to miss us this time Rick. It sure has been one cold snow season for us. We beat our total snow fall average a week ago and we still have months of snow weather to come. My old mill will be moving to its new home this weekend so I am glad we have a not to bad weekend coming up. I won't be getting my new one till the end of February...bout the time I get released to return to work...go figure.

Hey Rick,

Time to build a Lombard log hauler and play in the snow. Rof}

Maryak,

Only 11% humidity. You should try that with about 60% to 70%. Then it would be hot and sticky.

No problem here.
If the ice takes out the power it has to get pretty cold to freeze beer.
I'm not all that fond of the new carpet in the living room.
I hear it burns hot and slow. Don't need groceries, we just bought a
half of beef.
I wonder how Delmonico steaks cooked over a polyester fire might
go? LOL

We do have some concerns here.
The ice is on us. My parents are in their mid 70's and live about 15 miles away
from me. If they lose power there will be a cocky young Jeep Liberty going to get them.
I'll be the old guy guy behind the wheel letting it impress me the whole way.
Been there before! It hasn't let me down yet!

You should try that heat with 90-95% humidity..... a typical July/August in the deep south. You nearly have to wring the air out before breathing it. It's probably only coincidence that it is also the season to watch for mad dogs and violent human behavior.

3.20 in sunny Melton Victoria Aus and the thermometer just nudged
40c in the shade. I'm thinking of throwing a frozen choock in the tin roofed
workshop should be nicely roasted by dinner time. 8) not

Hello,

I am almost afraid to ask..... but what is a choock?

Thanks Jack,

Not quite as hot as Duchess's Boiler, (Fire), Rooms. Up top, (Far East), they averaged out at 54-60 C. Mind you I was a tad younger and bullet proof then.

Drinking heaps is good I'm on my 3rd stubby already.

Galina is in the lounge in her bathers and the A/C is flat out and holding at 30 C. Wait till we get the bill.

Well I don't know about mad dogs, but the violent human behavior could be contributed to sticky underware if it gets that humid. Rof}

6 inches of the white stuff this morning, with more coming down. It's not the cold, or even the snow. It's the idiots on the roads in the morning. Commute normally takes 10-15 minutes. Today was almost an hour. I felt like I needed a drink when I finally got in this morning!

We only received 2½" of snow from this storm.
Then we got the ice. It wasn't ALL bad.

I might not have to trim those shrubs this summer.
Better yet, I just remembered where I stuck that storm window
I lost last fall. :

Gaaa! I've had the heat on in the shop all day just so when I get home I can go play with some key parts that should have been delivered days ago and are for-sure scheduled to be delivered today.

So I get home and no package. Whaaa? Check the tracking # ... "Delivery Exception - Adverse Weather Conditions" :-[ :-[ :-[ Whaa? Oh yeah, I used the defroster for 3 or maybe 4 minutes this morning. Adverse weather my butt. Even the schools were open today. I'm really not happy with UPS about now (nor Enco's seemingly mandatory 2-day delay to ship anything on the 'free shipping' offers..)

This is going to bork up my entire weekend... and now I've got a warmish shop and nothing to do there... except maybe clean up and we can't have that ;D

 

[rleete]

You can have some of our snow, if it makes you feel any better!

Just spent the last 90 minutes shoveling the evil white stuff.

Well shred if they had to pass through here there would be delays.
Southbound traffic exiting this town is met with a mile long 7% grade hill.
Twice today the local police were called to that hill because two tractor
trailer rigs were stuck blocking all three lanes. On the last call the scanner caught
the responding officers call to their base.
"PennDOT has freed up the stuck semis. two lanes are clear.
Now we are stuck on the hill blocking the third lane."
I was laughing almost as hard as radio dispatcher was!

Thankyou for that image....I really appreciated that .....geeeze.

Rick

As Rog said you can have some of ours. Ever try to plow 12" of snow with ice underneath the wheels. Ya don't go so good. oh: :rant: :rant:

That's funny Rick.. I remember seeing one of those so-long-it-has-to-bend-in-the-middle city buses sliding down a hill in a V-configuration, plowing everything off to one side or the other back when I lived in Denver.

The annoying part is based on all the other tracking I've done, to deliver today, a package gets in to Austin the day before. Weather wasn't much of a problem there and then. I think somebody made the wrong call based on the weather forecast and never fixed it.
