It’s 19 out right now but we here in MI call that winter. My fathers furnace went out 2 nights ago, (he’s 80) people can’t come till today and he’s just sitting at home under a heating blanket. He didn’t want to leave.

Some friends in Ypsi haven’t had heat for a week. A pipe froze, it shut down the boiler, and the last of the repairs is supposed to happen this morning.
@werehatrack
I could deal with it for a couple of days but a week is to long. I’d have to stay somewhere else. I’m about to head to my dads and I’m bundled up bc I know it’s cold there. He has a couple space heaters running but his living room isn’t enclosed enough to trap the heat, it’s all going upstairs. Hopefully the guy can repair it today.
19F and the air hurts? Awww.
@blaineg
No opportunities to acclimate.
Also ice sheets aren’t much fun.
@blaineg
@blaineg It’s not really cold until you have to cut open a Tonton to sleep in.

@kuoh I’m prepared. (Note the zipper pull and liner.)
About that chainsaw…
It’s all in how you use it, bubba.
@werehatrack Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
@werehatrack @bmf I think there is some confusion here - that’s what Real Texans use to manscape.
Serious shrinkage… and not even in the pool!

@Star2236 In the future buy him some sterno ( catering candles) and a few cheap basic ceramic pots. (the orange ones are what I use)
It will provide good heat with out the worry / danger of space heaters. Its the same basic concept of ceramic space heater
