Cold, cold cold!! That's the story this morning, but it's not just the cold temperature (25F), but the wind chill that comes from a NW wind at 18-25mph. That makes it brutal. Strange thing, Pacha got up around 7:15, and when she got out into the cold weather she started jumping around just as she did when she was younger. Husky's are so used to cold weather it perks them up when they get into it. Of course, that perkiness didn't last very long, but it was nice to see the old girl stand up and take notice again. As for me, I was bundled up so tight you could hardly see my glasses. Thank goodness I have my heavy coat, touque and hood. Oh well, another couple of weeks and this stuff should start to moderate. Meanwhile, we're still comfortable using three different heaters in carefully selected locations. After all, old boats tend to let a lot of cold air in, and there's not much that can be done about it. On the other side of the coin, I've just checked temps in Toronto and Ottawa. Now that's cold! Almost makes me feel warm all over. Bye for now.
