…and it’s how I spent basically all of yesterday after morning chicken chores. Because it was cold and wet – at one point it even snowed. With the exception of that one snowy interval it rained solidly from sometime in the middle of the night to one in the afternoon, and the sun never did come out in any meaningful way. So solar gain to the cabin interior was basically zero. I could stay in the main cabin and stoke the fire all day or do what I actually did, which was sit in a chair in my comfortably cool room and read a book.
Blog output reflects the fact that the Official TUAK ‘Pooter is in the main cabin, not the bedroom. Sorry about that.
As the sky lightens out my window, I see the weather hasn’t quite decided whether today will be a replay of yesterday. So today may also not be a banner day in TUAK history.
There are times (more and more of late) when I really envy your lifestyle.
Me too,
Do you ever check the Weather Channel website for your area?
I know the feeling Joel. Weather wise, Mother Earth doesn’t know what she wants.
I normally use accuweather.com. Has a better track record locally than Weather Channel, though lately it has just been bad news all the damn time.
Best bet for localized Florida forecasts is https://www.wunderground.com/ Put your best estimate of a zip code in the “Search Locations” block.
But as I said the other day:
“I would have thought you would have learned by now to not taunt Mother Nature…“
Reading a book in a comfy chair beats commuting to work in Wisconsin snow. I presume your chair is comfy, Joel. And you are not obligated to blog regardless of weather. Enjoy.
I spend as much of my day as possible, reading books. I’ve got hundreds of them. They’re my comfort zone. What book are you reading? What kind of books do you like.
Note: I’m not offering to share my library with you, but I’m a hermit in my own sense.
My pleasure reading tastes haven’t matured much since I was a kid. I can rarely refuse a good sci fi. But I also read as much American and military history as I can get my greasy mitts on.
