I really shouldn’t complain about the cold here in Florida, I can well remember surviving winter in the frozen north! Even huddled round a camp fire in the Rockies chasing the ever elusive deer and elk herds for a case of frustration….

Hunting became something I gave up, too many people trying to ruin your day, playing stereos full blast at dawn, roaring around on four wheelers and shooting high powered rifles without knowing who or what may be in the line of fire.

Freezing was a thing I also thought I gave up, leaving the high country behind only to find they lied about Florida, it really does get cold here in northern Florida.

I remember a time when the whole family tried to fit in front of a wall heater as it was the only warm spot in the whole house, being the only heat in that old house until I put a heat system in. Luckily that furnace was up and running the year it hit -26 degrees below zero one night or we’d have been people-sickles with out a stick ….

I’ve seen frost frozen to windshields so hard you could not scrape it with out running the vehicle till the heater softened it enough to scrape and I have worked without heat at -26 degrees below during the day.

I’ll quit whining now and go back to work,
