Man, most of youse guys are woosies. Yes, woosies. I have been skiing many times with the snot freezing, getting back to the car and having to warm IT up while I am having to scrape the windows, with sweat cooling and starting to freeze. That would be in the -0 temps. Ever spilled water down your coat in single digit temps and have to ski a few more miles to get back? Uphill, of course. Both ways.
Of course, now I live in a milder climate, usually. But don't move here. I pulled a tick out of The Used Dog yesterday, there is enough snow in the mountains (not hills) that the threat of flooding is in the back of our minds, we could have an earthquake, I need to scrub the moss off the vehicles and shop building, and we fight the mildew problem constantly.
OK........so I am. But I just don't have the blubber some folks have to keep me warm. And if I managed to put on enough cloths to keep warm I would like like the Michelin tire man. Then I can't move. If I happen to trip and hit the ground I would need help getting back to my feet.
Down here the cold comes from the west and always with the wind. 24 degree is just crazy with a 20 MPH wind. For me anyway. Anyway I worked with the chickens, checked on the last part of a new pen I'm building, and kept the fire in my fireplace going. Oh, and I got out the dobro and practiced by the fire a couple of hours.
Just to cold for this ole Southern boy.
