Hasn't warmed up much here today , only 42° with 20mph winds from the NNE .Windchill is 33° right now Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!

 

Getting ready to go to work, I know it sucks. 10 -11 hour shift, 2 hour commute. They put a lot on my plate, I don’t ask for.

 

Sorry man

 

.

be inventive

 

Thanks, it is what it is. Covering for people on vacation, I’m low seniority, 5+years. People that get the Christmas vacations have 20+ years.

 

Something is wrong with this !!!!

Just heard the ice cream truck just now in my neighborhood !!! , now who in their right mind would be wanting ice cream when its 41° outside !!

 

Happens here.
A blizzard and they will go to the ice cream place...

 

Me

 

Happy Friday

 

The outside temp has to be 85° or warmer for me to enjoy ice cream!!

 

I didn't think a 1 hour commute was too bad till I got a 15 minute commute....now mine is about 6. Gotta love that. I feel for you if you're doing more than 4-10's. I like the 3 day weekends when I can take them. I'm sucking up this furlough while I can. We'll be back to 5 and 6 day weeks when we go back.

 

So here's a questions for you cold weather folks. Is it hard to unfreeze/defrost your wiper blades from the windshield? Does it happen? We have the opposite problem in summer. The damn things get hot and soft then stick to the windshield. Usually not a big problem on the daily driver vehicle. But the one's that sit during summer, many folks put pipe insulation or those pool noodles 9ver them.

 

Just pull them to the back position

 

Yep wiperblades do melt onto windshields during the summer here , I usually replace them in October

 

I sometimes flip my blades up , like when you clean the windshield.
