Hot works in the kitchen,and a little bit
in the bathroom sink. Lost the cold in the
bathroom sink. Shower and tub diverter seems
frozen. The WH cabinet has vent which is wide
open, about 12 x 18 inches, and the wind is
blowing from that direction. I'm rigging a
patch for that vent grille, cover that.

My fingers are serious cold, and I'm not enjoying
being out in the cold. Wishing I had a caged 100
watt light bulb I could put out there. And wait
for it to thaw.




Yesterday it was -15F with a wind-chill of -40


I spent 60 seconds outside.
The cat spent 60 seconds outside

and my wife spent 5 seconds outside.


I'm heading out again now but will be back inside soon!
