One of the greatest middleweights of all time, matching step for step with one of the greatest dancers of all time. Fast forward to about1:30 for when the fun begins.
Cold, cold day yesterday. It was 1.4 degrees at 2:00 in the afternoon according to my cheapie Chinese thermometer. I spent the majority of the day working on keeping the house warm. The furnace is on a programmable thermostat and I keep it set on 60 degrees at night. It bumps up to 66 daytime, bumps up to 68 about the time the sun goes down, and then goes to 60 again later. Normally, wearing a sweater during the day is comfortable enough. The exceptions are when the wind is blowing hard or the temperature falls down to single digits and negative numbers. The furnace had a hard time pulling the temps up off the nighttime setting with those negative early morning numbers.
When I got up I started a fire in the fireplace right away, put the tea kettle on the stove to generate a little heat and humidity, baked some rolls to get some oven heat, and topped off the water trays I made that sit on top of the fin tubes - having some humidity in the house helps with the comfort level. It took a little bit, but it was nice and warm by the time the Missus got up. It's supposed to warm up the next couple of days - into the twenties at least. I can deal with that easily enough.
Now that Trump is back in office, I'm cautiously optimistic about the future. I don't know how much cooperation he'll get now from the Deep State, but he's already revoked security clearances from 50 of those mopes who signed off on the laptop letter. Got the J6 "insurrectionists" released from jail, and he started getting rid of people who aren't supporters. From my point of view, that's a good start. However, my biggest concern is the budget. He ran up a substantial deficit last time he was in there. That has to stop. 36 trillion in debt along with the unfunded liabilities is going to kill this country. That has to get turned around, and soon. Best of luck, Mr. President.
