Well…I am not ready for winter…it’s only 18 degrees outside and it’s still damn early November…and I am really getting concerned about how much the gas bill is going to be for the month…I’m betting on 300 bucks plus but I can’t turn the heat down any more…not yet anyway until I buy an electric heater to use in here…I may have to go all the way down to 60 and that is going to be miserable for the winter….oh, well…I did sleep okay last night and only got up once so I guess that’s something and I don’t feel too bad today…I did get out to have lunch with T yesterday but the roads were really slick and the car almost spun out just getting on the e-way since the snow was deep enough to pick the car up and just pitch it sideways….it was good that I was only going about 20 at the time…other than that, had a nice lunch and it was good to see her…had to shovel snow for the first time in 20 years yesterday and I am waiting for the pain of using new muscles to hit today…had to do it twice to keep ahead of it and it wasn’t too bad…I remembered that I threw out my old winter boots during the move so I had to use a pair of leather ones that I hadn’t used in years and the leather was so stiff I walked around like a zombie since they would hardly bend…I did treat them with vaseline overnight to try to soften them up and it looks like it may be working…I may get the torch out and heat them to help the jelly to soak in later since I really don’t have much to do today….I did use my new drill/driver to install the winter tires yesterday and that was pretty cool…and it worked pretty well so I’m happy with the 16 bucks I spent on it….more later…
