When there’s lines on her back up camera and lines to follow on the garage floor, yes. Lol

It took me awhile to get used to looking at the backup camera on the new truck rather than the mirrors.

I was stationed at the Great Lake Naval Hospital several years ago. One frigid morning, like today, a nurse failed to show up for work. When they sent someone to check on her, they found her body in the garage. Apparently, she had started her car, to warm it up, in the garage and then she discovered the door would not open. She apparently spent several minutes struggling to open it. She was overcome by CO poisoning.
Since then, I rarely start the car without opening the door first.

I don't even like to run the car with the garage door open. We have an attached garage, and I feel that a wee bit of that exhaust could get into the house. I open the garage door, start the car, and back out or the garage to let it warm up.

I still use my mirrors on occasions, but the camera in the rav isn’t bad at all.

 

[Snapdragon]

What's the big deal about backing into a garage? I use the camera and the mirrors any time I back up.

Don't forget the tennis ball on a string

I can’t do that, I’ll be wanting to smack it like a tether ball everytime I’m in the garage lol

Picked the daughter up from her friends house at 1pm. Grand Blvd was sketchy south of 30 in the open areas. Straight home to start the cooking.

Potato soup and chili are ready. Making some homemade yeast dinner rolls for the soup and cornbread muffins to go with the chili.

Be plenty of leftovers for a couple dinners as well as a few days of lunches for me at work.

I've been achy and lethargic for over 24 hours. I slept 16/24 hours yesterday felt like crashing again last night. Runny nose and a hacking cough. Woke up today sleeping 14 hours. This can be done anytime.

In 48 hours, when you don't eat and only sleep, I dropped 3.4 lbs. I haven't seen this weight since high school. I am feeling better though.

But do they just eat a bowl of it with no beans? I saw somewhere that in some regions, chili is strictly something that you put on hot dogs, nachos, etc.

They eat it in a bowl as well

We did chili last night. Had to do some running today, got a message that the washer had flooded the bathroom floor. Luckily just a frozen drain and not a burst supply line. Just a bit ago, I grabbed a beer that was sitting outside and got to experience a supercooled liquid. After my first sip, I got to watch the rest of the bottle freeze up in 10 seconds. I eventually was able to pour it into a glass, but 10 minutes later, there was still some frozen foam floating on top.

 

[d.kaufman]

Back down to -9 here. Damn is it frigid. Was just out picking up the dogs frozen tootsie rolls and feeding the mouser.

Dang it, power out for about 10 minutes now. Someone should have had mentioned making chili or something with this weather, it’d be nice in the dark. lol.

I leave my garage door shut when warming…… it’s detached it is my mouse eviction plan.

Wood burner almost always going here, Power on!, as I was about to say, only thing is no fan going to move air. I have a small battery generator I was going to get to run a fan. Way to go REMC, we’ll see if they’re just giving it to us for a bit. Better go flush now. Mellow yellow

yup.
Seems it's been going around town.

 

[actaeon277]

@actaeon277 - bet you don't miss going to the mill when it's like this. I remember going from being outside in below zero weather to standing in front of an open coke oven. Not something I miss, but it is a memory that surfaces when the weather turns frigid.

oh boy.
Thanks.
I WASN'T thinking about it... till now.
