They promised us single digits by 6 a.m. As best I can tell it was 12 or 13  maybe. It was the first night I bothered to bring in a few logs to sacrifice to the pot belly god every once in a while as I woke in the night. The room stayed warm all night. The temperature moved above 30 during the day, so with the sun, it seemed rather nice. The Charter internet is a fine improvement to NO INTERNET. So today, before the next cold snap, I weather stripped the front door and put a latch on the storm door.

An elf helped me dumpster more granite last night so I have some nice large pieces on hand now. I also took off one of my side racks from the truck bed and mounted a wide board in it's place to act as a shelf-so I can pull up to the granite dumpster and set pieces on the side of the bed before placing them in the truck proper- an effort to try and not hurt myself.

that large piece is going to be a sweet place to roll out some dough
