Ah Vicky, you're not supposed to say anything to anyone. We have this lovely little area that we want to keep that way. SSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Now that the cat is out of the bag, we might as well go on and gloat. Saturday, we left the shop at 9:00 AM and it was 15 below 0. We drove 3 hours to northern Minnesota to meet someone and pick up a machine. At noon, in the Wallly World parking lot in Alexandria, MN. it was a balmy -14 degrees with a nice fresh 20 mph breeze. It took exactly 6 minutes to find her van in a pretty busy parking lot, circle it once to let her know we were there, back up to her van, open the tailgate, lift the machine out of her van and place it in the back of the truck, lash it down, wave goodbye, and drive away. She rolled her window down as I was getting into the truck and said, Hi I'm <name>. I left my ski mask in place and said, nice to meet ya, I'm a bank robber. And off we went. No further dicussion needed. We made it back to Hudson about 6:30 PM and our high for the day's trip was -9 degrees.
On Sunday, our high temp was -8.
Today it started out at -14 this morning, but it is going to get all the way up to 9 DEGREES ABOVE 0. Yippeeeeeeee. And we are all walking around with our coats open and saying "It's not too bad today."
So Vicky, when I saw the picture you posted, and had my wrist touching my desk, which feels to be about 50 degrees, all I could do was shivver.
But it sure makes us appreciate those two weeks of road construction we get every July. I even take my polar fleece off and wash it during the two weeks of summer. 8-O
