Went camping over the last weekend - it was a good time. I figured it might still be a bit chilly at night, getting down to low 40
s but the weather was phenomenal. Mid 60s during the day, no bugs, no sweat and perfect campfire weather in the evening.

Ah, the forecast is calling for 60 something here today. Nice and mild. I've not turned on the heat in the apartment in the last 5 days or so, since daily temps went above 50.

It's a balmy -8°F right now in Minnesota. Yesterday we got to a high of -2°F. Clifford has been complaining a bit, but not too bad.

Squint, question about your Fester. If you turn the key in it, but release too quickly, will it continue to crank until started? Clifford does, and it's kind of strange, but cool.

I can only imagine if it got that cold here. With crummy insulation and electrical heating, my electricity bill would be through the roof! I remember it was 26* here around Christmas and it cost me nearly $6 that day alone to heat the apartment. Top put that in perspective, my entire bill for previous month was $33, including taxes and a $10 base fee.

I just finished a billing cycle for the month and current charges are $93. That's the most I've ever paid, even with a/c running non-stop for weeks in the summer. Been relatively cold here this winter.

I am on this Papa Murhy's pizza kick recently. They make the pizza to order, with fresh ingredients and you take it home and bake it yourself. It's freaking delicious.

I prefer their gourmet veggie and Hawaiian with jalapenos. f**k yum. Got one in the oven right now.

In fact, since I've already eaten half of it for dinner, that picture would be somewhat true.
