What the shit? I thought it didn't snow when it was this cold.

Next week is going to suck. I didn't even experience temps that cold when I lived in Montana thru two winters.

It will. I have no issue with the cold as long as snow isn't with it. Wednesday may challenge that thinking. I'm going to assume CPS is out on Wednesday.

I had the thermostat fail open in the cattle waterer again this past week- it froze solid Tuesday, so I had to thaw it out so the girls could drink, then tear into it to fix the problem. I wired it direct ON, figure I can get through the winter this way, not like it draws a lot.

The guy who took over my role running the game clock at my kids' high school is out after a fall getting into his pickup- he slipped backwards and tore the left thigh muscle off of the femur at the knee. Surgery to reattach and twelve weeks immobilized. Ouch.

What am I missing about Thursday that will be worse than a high of -11F that we will get on Wednesday? Snow?

Well ain't that a motherfucker.

We bought a fixer upper a couple weeks ago. Built in 1931, with radiator heat. We got lucky the week after we closed because it wasn't too cold...the gas company accidentally turned us off for 3 days.

So I'm thinking ahead to the cold that's coming next week and didn't think about yesterday. My wife tried to wash her hands this afternoon and lo and behold the water isn't coming out. Turns out the water meter is sandwiched in a wall right next to the foundation. Hoping nothing had split yet, I opened things up and pointed a space heater at the area. Less than five minutes later something starts dripping and within a minute it was shooting out of a crack in the water meter. Luckily I was able to close the valve from the street. New water meter hopefully Monday and we can get back to priming.

I'd say if you work outside it's been cold.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is in your future.

It's a shame you felt the need to abuse your powers to edit those posts.
It was funny. Learn to laugh at yourself before you laugh at others.
I find this disappointing.

Whine more. I have no problem laughing at myself. You should try laughing in general. I hear it's good for your soul.

I'm currently laughing at you for needing to edit your fun typo and my post responding to it.

And he edits my post again back to its original form!
Damn dude. Is it that hard for you to admit you're not perfect?

Dont worry tho I bet you get 4 maybe 5 extra page clicks on this site with this beef and that's really your primary concern now isnt it?

I edited MY post not your post. Try to keep up.

Yes clicks on a site that I spend money on (don't make any) is what is most important to me.

What's important to you? Are you happy with your life?

WTF are you talking about DT? Are you people really that in need to bitch about something. I typed "I" instead of "it" and edited my post to make the correction. What's horse crap about that? If that bothers you then you need a hobby.

I am keeping up. First, you edited my post (the part in which I quoted you). Then you edited your post. Then you edited my post back to it's original form, excepting the quoted form.
I'm keeping up just fine. I know precisely what happened. Dont try to make me look like a fool cause of your typo that was actually kind of funny.

Just didn't strike me as something that would ever cross your mind to bother to do ... not fixing your own post, everyone does that ... the other thing, editing his post in conjunction ... over a typo. I don't know ... just seems to me you're a mile better than that; that's all I meant really.

What? Are you serious? I didn't modify his post. His post still reads the same. I edited MY typo. WTF is odd about that? I can't believe that changing I to it really bothers you.

You did modify my post. Got caught. Edited it back.

What was the modification made to your post?

I outlined it above. But you did modify my post a minimum of twice.
Honestly you're making a bigger deal out of it than you need to be. You did it. You got caught. The denials are worse than doing it in my opinion.
