When I started the truck this morning it was reading -24. I couldn't shut the door all the way since the metal was so cold it wouldn't latch. After 30 min warm up I could finally shut the door on the truck all the way. Should have stayed home.

It's 18 here. That's cold enough for me.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

I can live with the three that we have now, even tho they promised us a high of six.  What I'm not happy about is the barn roof that is collapsing  :'(  At Thanksgiving it was a 4/12 pitch, and today there are two areas that are 2/12 to flat to 12/12,  the ridge has dropped about a foot, and it is changing daily.

In the words of the contractor I called for help and advise, "Once one truss starts to go - GET  THE  HELL  OUT  OF  THE  WAY!!!"

280 head of oinkers are counting on us to keep putting bracing in for another six weeks.

I almost wore pants to the driving range today.
Almost...
