It "warmed" up here, its minus 6 now. The bad thing is that wind picked up and that just makes it feel much colder.

A welding machine does wonders. Our local tool and equipment rental place rents smaller units made just for thawing frozen pipes. I keep a space heater in my crawl space just for these 30 below days. My water will be froze every morning...but thaws within 2 or 3 minutes running the space heater. Try not to use a handtorch. A very nice 4 bedroom log home just burned to the ground here in Sterling 2 days ago.
This spring/summer...take measures to insulate or heat tape everything under the house for next winter. It's much more enjoyable doing it when it's warm...than when it's 30 below and crawling through water!

Some E-Bay snake is trying to get my Coach purse away from me but that won't be happening.

I bought three Coach purses today and a pair of gloves. I think I am going to hell for this.

What do you do with so many purses?
My dad and I are always confused when my mom and sister are always buying purses.  Of course they are probably confused when we buy things for the garage

I don't freakin' know, lol.
Well, I have to have a purse to go with my black cashmere coat, and then I bought those gloves so I had to get a purse to go with that and then I saw another purse and just liked it so I bought it.

But one of the purses I bought today is small also and actually more of an evening type of bag than a real purse but I might need it sometime so I bought it.
