Winter Jan 30-31, we're all going to die!

[BoxsterCy]

-21 and -51 windchill at Mpls airport. -30 or and -60 or bust!

I don't think we are getting quite as cold as predicted in southern Iowa. The wind is more westerly and not as strong ATM. Of course this post guarantees the cold.

I have some pigs I wanted to go to the locker a week ago, but due to deer I can't get them in until Sunday night. They are bedded deep and loving life. I am the dumbass who has to make sure the water isn't frozen and they have feed.

They are in a drafty ass barn. It's ******* cold.

Wow.......that brings back memories of being a kid on the farm. Remember many late nights in the winter, when the snow was deep having to take feed by the bucket full to fill indoor troughs because the feeders were buried. Along with making sure their straw was dry, the heat lamps warm and the heating element in the water tank working. I hated doing it in the middle of the night during the worst of winter. But my dad would always tell me a happy pig is a healthy pig and that smell was the smell of money. Well, little did he know that as a kid, in my mind that happy pig saying seemed more appropriate for some of my female classmates and that smell was nothing more that the smell of pig s***. Fun times for sure.

Keep posting occasionally so we know you're alive!

Not sure if that is supposed to be some kind of dig at me being a blue collar worker, but I like my job, and someone has to do it. I don't really know how else to interpret it. If that was your intention, get off your high horse and try to be less of an *******.

Pay no mind to him. He's probably some cube nerd at Wells Fargo or Principal. Day probably goes something like:

8-9 Drink coffee and surf the net
9-10 Gossip with former cube dwellers
10-10:15 Look at work
10:15-11 Wander the floor
11:00-11:30 More gossip & coffee
11:30-1 Feeding his fat face
1-1:30 Surf the net
1:30-1:45 Look at work
1:45-2 Meeting prep (surf net)
2-3 Meeting where nothing gets done
3-3:15 Even more gossip
3:15-3:30 More coffee
3:30-4 Look at work and write an email
4 Out the door

Probably goes home thinking he had a productive day.

Currently on IFC channel right now. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Wasn't responding to you, brah. Was responding to Cyclonic's dig at aforstate.

 

[ArgentCy]

There is the wind. Just now kicked up.

When my wife booked a cruise and I agreed to forgo the bowl game, I was pretty bummed. Missed the cold this week in Iowa has really eased that pain. I even managed to get a little sunburnt.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I took the dogs out this morning, and I can confirm that we all made it through.

I think you missed his sarcasm.....

But yeah, what’s wrong with cubicles?

 

[Sparkplug]

Two of two vehicles started. Good start to the day

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Didn’t feel crazy cold out in Des Moines this morning. Hardly any wind though.

 

[cstrunk]

Man is it cold outside. It was a great morning to start my first workout in years, outdoors no less.

29°F.

Yeah, I'm currently sitting in one...drinking coffee and gossiping with co-workers. It is 70 degrees though, which beats the heck out of the -15 outside.

jimlad on the cubicles though...not a fan, but it is what it is.

and sometimes there are doughnuts...

I think you forgot the minus sign

We dipped down to -28.7 on the kitchen thermometer this morning but it has started to climb back up.* Twenty-eight below and there was still a cardinal singing in a tree in our backyard.

*Now a balmy -28.5

I don't see big donors being too happy they will have to walk further. I get it, this is one time only thing.

Then they need to get there earlier to claim their normal spots. It's pretty simple really.

 

[jbindm]

One out of two cars started this morning. Better than none, I suppose.
