5?F really make a difference.

It's been in the 70?F in my condo all last week but this weekend it dipped in to 65?F in the condo and that's cold. Wish for those numbers in June but when it's cold outside, not cool. Sitting in front of my Heat$Less heater like those cave men in "Quest For Fire" and eating rib roast is pretty good.
I was re-watching "8 Crazy Nights" and I have to ask anyone soak their feet in a tub of hot/warm water? I wonder if I have a pot, tub or bucket big enough for my size 12 feet? I may need two containers for each foot. I should've bought those styrofoam coolers at Walmart when they were getting rid of them after summer. Maybe I should try to make sure I like it before spending money. Now a big * sous-vide machine in an insulated container would be good if for not the price.

Are you caught up on all your movies?
Out shooting today, even with the sun out. It was in the 50's. Had to wear thermals, underneath the sweat shirts, along with a jacket. It still got right chilly on the quad, riding without a windshield.
Yes, I am all done with Christmas movies for this year.
BobJudy - Yes I do have some but I don't think they're enough. Even if I were to run a long * extension cords and a power strip to fill my pockets with aquarium heaters. The amount of watts I'd be running won't be enough. Also heating up stones and wrapping them in socks would work better in the pockets than aquarium heaters.
I really like my Heat4Less heater. I'm thinking of putting up a PVC framing around it and throw a blanket over the whole contraption so I can get in/under it and retain the heat.
I shut the furnace off before Christmas and restarted it Sat night. I sleep in the unheated basement and the temp there was 45*---perfect sleeping temp for me. It did make showering a bit nippy but really, don't spend much time drying off and it's not that bad.
HAT!
I am closing on 74 and we keep the thermostat at 73. Wonder if I will turn it up a degree when I hit 74... :?
Happy Birthday in a few weeks!
Setting the winter therm to match one's age is a damn good idea.
Oh I wear hats to sleep. One of those Peruvian knit jobbies or a hoodie with the draw string pulled tight (Kenny from "South Park" style ).
All electric heaters require just about the same KWH of electricity to produce the same amount of heat. Maintaining a constant temperature helps, as your walls, ceiling, & floor retain heat (as well as cold).
Do not put combustibles (i.e., anything that will burn) within 36" of a space heater; that is a Fire Code requirement.

Thermostat is usually set at 68 degrees...nights about 64 degrees. One gets better sleep in a cool area.
I do believe some would never survive in the northern part of the United States where temperatures in the winter of -20 is not uncommon and fall temps around 35 - 40 degrees are considered 'T' shirt weather.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
old age and blood thinners will make you change your mind.......
Our house is super-insulated top to bottom and all exterior walls. Helps a LOT to keep inside either warm or cool. I still find a need for a sweater - or a hoodie - on many days. Today, I did a stint on my treadmill, so I'm comfortable even after my shower. On lazy days, not.
