It’s STILL cold this morning (and yes, freezing other blog topics out of my brain). 11 F Below. Subaru status: rowrrowrrow…rowr…rowr…(ie slowly turning over, not starting). Urgh! Still no thermometer shot possible! We drove the rusty, trusty old Toyota. Sigh...
In other temperature news (thrilled yet?) we came home yesterday to a WARM house...like 70 degrees warm. I seriously thought something was wrong. It felt great, but how bizarre..? Apparently the boiler repair person was there, and after he fixed the zone problem, figured that we only had the house in the 50’s because of the problem. HA.
We keep the house in the 50’s during the day because we are FRUGAL. And possibly insane. Gluttons for punishment? Anyway, it was weird to actually feel warm in the house. WF made sure he remedied that wild use of resources right away, back to the 50’s this morning. Sigh… We really need to figure out some scientific way to really know how much more propane it costs to keep the house that warm (we run off a big tank in the yard, so no monthly bills or easy calculations arrive). I can only imagine a small person will need the house a bit warmer next winter...

I enjoy watching the thermometer on my Subaru; this morning it was -8. But that one always seems to read a few degrees higher than our outdoor thermometer, so I don't know which one is correct.
Since we got our propane heater, we've been in a constant spousal temperature battle. I like it cool at night, maybe in the upper fifties even, but he gets up in the middle of the night and cranks it up to near 80. I can just feel the propane being sucked out of the tank.
