7 Degree night

No, not for us.  I was chatting with a RV friend in the Albuquerque, NM area and that is the forecast for them tonight.  I don't think our motor home could survive anything that cold unless we drained all the water and winterized the unit.  We don't have a good enough furnace to heat the basement area and I don't think the unit was designed for that.  I wish Karen & Russell well and hope it warms up soon for them.

The cold and lousy weather is all over the Southwest this December and it seems to be an unusual event according to reports.  I wonder if this is a part of the Global Warming that we have to be concerned about.  I think the weather is changing, but it doesn't look like it is headed for warmer weather.  The winds have been terrible in the SW already this year with 90mph winds in Los Angeles.   That is something else I like to avoid in the MH.   South Florida is looking better and better for next year.  

We joined Herb & Judy and Paul & Susan at the Spring Creek BBQ restaurant for dinner tonight.  The restaurant donates 20% of the check to their church so we are going to do our part to help out. We enjoyed the meal very much and also the company.  The two Pastors of the church was walking around passing out warm rolls that were very tasty.  We were too full to have any dessert so we made it an early evening.


When we walked out of the restaurant it felt like old man winter snuck up on us.  It was very damp and cold and I think this may be a cold night.  The furnace is running along with the electric heater so we should be in good shape.

  1. 41 here at 7 pm. The slight sun during the day is the only salvation. They've given up on the swimming exercise.
    Dave's pizza tomorrow and omelet Saturday and Dan's spaghetti Saturday night.
    Of course coffee and donuts tomorrow morning.
