Good morning!!!!

Don, Do you need to eat the selenium bombs all at once? Or can you do once a week for a cumulative effect? Only raw counts?

I don't know the study did not cover that.

AC is on here also, come back winter!

Brazil nuts, so those are the ones called ...... toes.
I guess I am not dead, then. My Grandfather used to tell me that I would learn something new every day and if I didn't then I might be dead.

I brought both game cameras into the house and set them up. Now I will see what the cats get up to while we are sleeping.

It got up to 84 degrees here today.

Maybe, but I'm 68 now...seems to still be OK.
We do turn it up a few degrees (65-66) on those cold damp days though.

We had a stretch before Christmas where the early morning (0330-0500) temperatures were well below zero (couple of those days were minus 25 or so). Those were tough...but a week or so back, I was at a hotel in Hartford CT...stepped outside at 0630 or so wearing a tee shirt and jeans (smoking a cigarette)...talking to a guy from Georgia (also smoking) bundled up. I guess the temperature was in the low 30's. It all depends what one is used to.

I was visiting my parents in Florida a few years ago, my dad and I went to a car show about 3 hours away. We stoped for breakfast at a diner on the way, it was in the low 60痴. In the diner, most everyone had winter coats on. We had t shirts on. One old guy announced that the polar bears had arrived!!!

When our kids were young we used to go to Sanibel Island, Florida every winter for a week or two. Me and wife would lay on more or less deserted beach in swimsuits, the kids were playing in the ocean while local had parkas, gloves and hats. Somebody alway said: "You must be from Canada".

One of the selling points around here is energy usage.
Keeping the temp bills real low (cool in the winter, warm in the summer) can make a well insulated house appear super insulated.


I've been known to wear a cap when it's down in the mid 50's.



I like sitting around in my LL Bean flannel shirts in the winter.
The thermometer right above the mantel is showing a toasty 64F.

Just checked our thermometer, 61° outside, 65° inside. I’m in my winter robe and wearing socks. Wife put a second blanket on the bed.
I need to fix the fireplace.

I opted for a 10 oz. package, as they tend to go rancid if not kept cold. Mine'll be in refrigerator, unless I can find somewhere that it's OK to put them in the freezer.

It'll be interesting to see how many nuts come in that 10 oz. bag. Could easily amount to a full year supply!

I ate 2 last night, along with some other nuts from the Costco mixed nuts container...I agree, by the time we get near the bottom of the plastic container, the brazil nuts are rancid while the others are okay.

35 going to 49. Up to 3 inches snow tonight/tomorrow is now the prediction.

Took it easy yesterday, just loaded a half pallet of firewood, and took Coco for a hike back in the woods for a couple of miles. Need to run to town for gas for the splitter, and time in the gym today.

DST is fine with me, they just need to keep it there.

Enjoy 311 day.
