I can't remember, exactly, when I went to bed. I thought it was either 17:30, or 20:30? I just... can't be sure. Later, though, if I had to guess.
I shut everything down, but kept the furnace on to 68, overnight. After having warmed the house to 74 yesterday. Everywhere else was 72, which was okay, waking. Sure beat the cold from the day before. That one window makes a vast difference. Though, being this cold this soon, is taking me by surprise. I think the warmest I saw it, outside, yesterday, was 74? I think so. May not have posted it. By the time I returned from my trip to town, it was down to 70.
It must have been 20:30 when I crashed last night. I think it was 17:30 when I checked the temp, out there, after returning home.
I did turn the furnace up, because 72? A few days, to a week, ago, it was running 77 in here, 73 to 75 in them main. I still needed the ac a few times this last month. Which... was odd that I didn't need it more? This, to my mind, has been a cool summer. But, I have acclimated greatly through diet, and figured a few things out about the house, how to run it. Then, adding the new window, which isn't quite finished, but still? That has changed things drastically. I'll bet the furnace will run half what it has in the past, or less.
Oh, it's 68 in this front room, 37 to 38 outside. Very cold for still August. No heat up here, and I have it partially closed from the back of the house. Hotter in the summer, colder in the winter. I really need to get the living room finished, then put the computer station in there. Just... leave these front cold rooms to themselves.
Yes, it is cold. But that it was 72, with the furnace on 68, everywhere but this front room (which doesn't get heat almost at all)? That was... impressive. I'll bet even the upstairs stays much warmter. I may run a very small fan up there, to bring heat up through the vent, or make... air flow to get it up, or such? Worth a shot.
A few things of business today. Tried to complete one of them yesterday, but the secretary at my doctor's office ignored the call until it was afterhours, then just dropped the call. I don't do messages. Those never work out. I have time, I will wait. Tough cookies.
On to a fatted coffee, and a bit more gaming. It'll be a bit before offices open, and things can be done. Good morning, day.
Your body needs fuel to burn, for warmth. You might need to fuel that fire.
ReplyDeleteYes it sure seems to have been a cooler summer, couldn't prove it with my electric bill.
No, it wasn't me, I haven't done a deep dive into your archives in a while, Guess I'm about due.
Burger all cooked froze half the patties. Trying that "marbled" sirloin, weird cut, can't quite get the grain figured out for good bite sized cuts. sauerkraut and horseradish on the side. Lots of connective tissue messing up this steak. But, though chewy, it's edible. Dogs will get a share.
Well, too? Carbs burn warmly. Ketones/fat don't. It seems like all the carnivore influencers live in warm to hot places? I'm surprised this doesn't come up.
ReplyDeleteBut, when you are selling lemon, steak, or decent product, rarely do you suggest the issues. Most people can just dress a bit more warmly, on the easy side. But with my bad heart, that is a bit tricky, especially when the weather breaks so hard and fast.
I'll... make it through. Got a few burritos while out. Had to have food, couldn't cook. So... yeah.
Every time you talk about sharing with the mutts, I get just a twinge of jealousy. I love my Sassy. But the cat woman won't eat with me.
It had to do with the last cat, and Sassy being punished for stealing (when in truth it was probably never, ever, her). *sigh* Kills me, when I do bad, am wrong. But... we are, otherwise, the best of friends these days otherwise.
Try sharing a bit, Meat, cats love it. A slice or cube, she'll grow to appreciate it, maybe, I don't have cats. The dogs bolt down what I give, I wonder if they even taste it. I've had problems with cats.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has problems with cats. They are the females of the pet world, even the toms. It's just... who and what they are. Just like real live grown up, or teen, or else, women, females, of more or less human sorts. Cats, women, who woulda thunk you have problems with them. :p
ReplyDeleteBut, sure. I'll do that. It's more... something about with whom one breaks bread. A good thing to do. It is an act of love, friendship, brotherhood, kinship, and such. Even if they don't taste it, they know. It's... your food. And... food is life.
Thanks for the notion.
