Not getting above zero here till tomorrow afternoon. -11 now but sunny.

HUGE bang last night around 1:30 from the roof. Sounded like it exploded or a 1000 pound weight had fallen on the roof. Absolutely the biggest cold weather contraction sound I've ever heard in a house or apartment.
Probably a meteorite. Siberia gets lots of meteors...
 
Only Level 3 for hat and face gear today for walkabout. Was mostly out of the 35 mph wind gusts, mostly. I've two more levels above this if needed. Four miles, did not freeze. Had to unzip old ski jacket...was getting too warm.

You sure your nose hairs aren't comingling with that awesome 'stache, ala Moonshine McSwine? (Not sure if correct Lil Abner character)
 
TIL, the vehicle I bought for the kids school vehicle does not warm up much at all in negative temps. It be cold in here. Waiting on sons dentist appointment in vehicle, considering going inside instead.

3. Halftime WOOF
4. The game disappointing didn't expect KC to get rolled like a tourist in New York City.

4. Take the two starting tackles away from most teams and they will struggle.

I hate Brady with a passion but even I can't find a way to justify not calling him the greatest ever. Seven Super Bowl wins is a record that won't be touched for a long, long, long time - if ever.

Have you tried the old cardboard in front of the radiator trick?
I think this thing is in the blower, it doesn’t seem to kick out very well. It’s also a 1997. I drive the old stuff (hate spending money on vehicles so I do very strong maintenance on them so they last). I may try that, but the other issue is that at that age, many vehicles only have heat vents in the front so the cold air in back takes a while to seep and mix.
 
So, this episode of the job search may drive me completely nuts.
Posting closed about a month ago. No flush letter, no contact, but "in progress" per the ISU jobs site.
Applied for an opening in the same thing last August, and was flushed as soon as they saw candidates. Turned out they selected someone with many years of experience, so whatever. It made sense to me.

I know this group seems to progress slowly. I didn't get knocked out in the first cut like last time, but I assume I'm not on their real short list, either, or I'd hear something from them.
