This morning the ole thermometer sits at a balmy 11 degrees fahrenheit.  With the windchill at 19 degrees fahrenheit.

Holy crap that is cold.

So, in honor of this I have decided to hang out on the couch for a tab bit wrapped up in a blanket, with my insulated slippers on.  Though I do believe that I have the slippers on the wrong feet.  Can’t really tell because they are the kind that don’t have an arch in them.  They look like they are uni-footed.  Can go either way, if you know what I mean.

Regardless……

In making the decision of what to do this fine day I have decided that if I can get around it, I am not going outside at all.  If is too fracking cold for this old man.  I don’t feel like bundling up to brave that raw wind and freezing temperatures.  It is no longer in me.  I did go out last night while there was a break in the snow fall to shovel off the sidewalks in front of my house, and in front of my elderly neighbors.

I can be a nice guy when I am not in the throes of some fell disease.

So what am I going to do today?  I am going to make some soap.  Haven’t made a batch in forever and a day, and today is that day when I do.  Going to mix up the recipe a bit as I usually use coconut oil in my soap, but today I am going to use castor oil as I have some that needs to be used and I seem to be out of the coconut oil.  And since I am not going outside unless the place starts burning down around my ears, the castor oil seems to be a logical substitute.

Aren’t you glad that you asked?  And I know that that is purely rhetorical, as you never seen to ask me anything….I am always vomiting this stuff out of my head for you to peruse at your convenience.

It is convenient, isn’t it?

So, what is it like in your part of the world?  Snowed in?  Freezing your tuckus off?  Basking in the warm rays of the sun?  Let me know……hit up that comment bar and lets talk some shit, shall we?
