DAMN IT'S COLD



A FEW BLOGS BACK I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SPENDING $20 A WEEK FOR LP GAS TO STAY WARM? FOR THAT, I APOLOGISE, WITH THE FREEZING COLD TEMPERATURES AT HOME IN WISCONSIN I BET THEY'RE PAYING $20 A DAY FOR HEAT.

BESIDES HERE IN ARIZONA WE'RE HAVING ONE OF THE WARMEST JANUARY'S EVER. OUR DAY TIME HIGHS HAVE BEEN FROM 65 DEGREES TO 72 DEGREES AND LOWS IN THE MID 40'S. WHEN WE GET HOME FROM WORK, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WE TURN THE FURNACE ON AND HEAT IT UP TO 70 DEGREES, TAKES 15 TO 20 MINUTES, AND THEN SET THE THERMOSTAT ON 59 OR 60 AND GO TO BED.

IN THE MORNING THE FURNACE GETS TURNED OFF. HECK BY THE TIME I GET UP, AROUND NOON, IT'S WARMED UP TO 70 DEGREES INSIDE JUST FROM THE ARIZONA SUNSHINE.

SO NOW INSTEAD OF 7 GALLONS OF LP GAS A WEEK, IT'S CLOSER TO 3 GALLONS A WEEK TO HEAT THE CAMPER. IN LESS THAN A MONTH IT WILL BE BACK TO "SUNNY & 80".
