Well I have not worked inside for YEARS and there is no way my Coker (which has a footprint of over 3 city blocks) can be put inside a building. If it could, it would have been done already.

And I've also done time on a rig as a roughneck in winter up by Grand Prairie.

lol as for tomorrow, it WAS gunna be +8C or +9C but they changed that already to only +3

but then we get +10 over the weekend

***Insert Tiny Fiddle Noise here***

I began reading this and instantly started thinking about my Grandfather telling me...

"When I was your age... we had to walk 50 miles to the school, in minus 45 with wind and blizzard and up hill both ways... BAREFOOT!!!!"
