It’s $#@&!%* cold here!

As I write this post my thermometer shows –7 degrees here.  You don’t even want to go outside to get the newspaper.  According to the forecasters it is supposed to warm up to around freezing this weekend and maybe into the 40’s next week.  We will see.

Meanwhile we are preparing for the garage sale this weekend.  It will be interesting to see how many people turn out for a winter garage sale with temps around freezing.  Fortunately we are down to just a couple of large items, kitchen table, a couple of chairs, with the rest being small items.  Anything not sold will be donated on Monday.  A few more items to the storage unit and the house will be empty.

With this cold weather it did make it a fun time in moving stuff to the trailer.  I loaded up the truck and drove out to where the trailer is.  It was probably around 10 degrees in the middle of the day.  I opened up the slides on the trailer and noticed ice build up on the awnings over the slides, so I went onto the trailer roof and laid down on the roof to reach the awnings and get rid of the ice.  When I stood up my pants were slightly wet then immediately froze.  Fun to walk around with starched jeans!

I had planned to do some organizing of the storage section in the trailer but after unloading the truck, quickly, I had no feeling in my fingers and toes and thought it best to leave the task for a warmer day.  Hopefully the warm up will occur and allow us to do some organizing of the trailer before we leave, otherwise we will just have to cram everything in and head for a warm spot to unpack.
