Golden


No more cold weather. No more January weather in December. We're set for
highs in the forties, lows in the twenties. We got through that deep
freeze. Some people here had a lot of trouble with things freezing up. Our
pipes never froze up completely. We had a few faucets that didn't work in
the morning a couple times, but they each thawed out later in the day. No
damage. We did go through a lot of diesel fuel to keep warm. The furnaces
ran nonstop when the temperatures were single digit or lower. We used sixty
gallons of diesel over a period of three weeks for the furnaces and had to
drive across the street to the gas station to refuel.
