This morning, it was negative-fifteen, and our heat is out. Got the fireplace burning like a blast furnace, but may run out of wood! I may just run BF2 and let my PC ramp up; when the GPU hits +96C it acts like a space heater.

Computers make excellent space heaters. I'm going to kind of miss that actually when they finally get the GPU dies down to reasonable size and producing less heat.

K, this GPU is notorious for running hot (and loud) but it works fine (though slow and old). Hell, i've accidentally popped a heatsink off a GPU while gaming, it hit 199C before dying.

As it turns out, the fuel pump burned out; it was a free replacement. We're nice and warm now!

It was -19F on Saturday morning. I was down in the basement doing some work and needed the windows open for ventilation. 2 of these make the world a much warmer place. The furnace died last year and I had them upstairs in the family room. Didn't even notice a temperature drop.

Hubby and I decided that for the upcoming winter, we're going to get one of those fireplace heaters to heat our bedroom. Our bedroom is the the hottest room during the summer and the coldest room during winter. He also wants a portable airconditioning unit for summer. He's more sensitive to the heat and I'm more sensitive to the cold. Good thing we live in San Diego.

I don't see how living in San Diego is in any way at all, good for someone sensitive to the heat.

Smiley: lol I meant that it's a good thing that we live in San Diego because I'm so sensitive to the cold. Ray's sensitive in that it's killing him when it's anywhere over 95 degrees, whereas I'm OK with that. I can only remember a handful of days when it was 110 or over and the heat was killing me. Otherwise, when it dips below 68 degrees, I'm freezing and Ray's sitting in shorts and a tank top.

-7 on the way to work this morning. It's up to 32 now though, which in comparison is practically a heat wave.

Neg-22 this morning; I posted a pic of the thermometer on Facebook. It's already down to, like, neg-5 again.

It get down to -40C sometimes here in Canada.

Also, grow a spine. l2manipualte your metabolism properly and soon you will be the furnace and the weather will complain about how hot it is.

Yea, that -25 is Fahrenheit. It was -32C. And until you've experienced wind coming in off the Atlantic, you don't know what cold is. Unless you're in NWT/Yukon.

Update: We got the heater fixed Sunday. Today, I come home from work and the whole house smells musty, like the basement. The windows are all foggy, too. I go downstairs...and there is two inches of steaming water across half the basement. Apparently, one of the baseboard heater pipes in the basement froze Sunday when the heat was off, then burst some time today. Good times...
