Welcome to heating season!!!

shilala · 09-10-2010, 07:38 AM

It was 56 outside and 67 inside this morning. I've been relying on baking and big fish tank lights to keep me from freezing up till now, but they're no longer cutting it.
I relented and turned the heat on.
Who else has caved? Anyone as big a cold wussy as I am?

no i think it's just you

throw some empty boxes into a fire pit

neoflex · 09-10-2010, 07:42 AM

I'm still running A/C

joeobx · 09-10-2010, 07:43 AM

Left the house in shorts to run by work.....was chilly, but no heat yet.

especially the ones with a lot of lacquer.

Sorry Scott, I love the cold.
67 might make me shut the ac, but I would still need a fan.

14holestogie · 09-10-2010, 07:45 AM

I (and the little woman, especially) are with you, Scott. Anytime it gets 68 or below in the house, the heat is gonna be kicking in.

Seems the comfort zone goes up a degree every heating season. I think we'll be at 74* this year.

My window is wide open this morning, as I drink my coffee and prepare myself for a crappy day of work!!!

It must just be you, Cupcake!!!

I made it to 74 last year, Tim. Lisa likes it at 68, or some ridiculous sh1t like that. I can't talk her into moving to Florida, either.
I'm gonna build myself a mobile sunlamp sippy cup hat and keep it full of hot coffee.

and on another note, to make sure you are getting the best from your system, make sure your filters are clean and free flowing, and a HVAC duct cleaning can save you money in the long run, making your furnace more efficient, saving you dough for more cigars!

(and uh.. Lighters, and stuff... and er.. Rum.. and.. uh.. nice surprises for the wife, and... you get the idea.)

I have a boiler, so I just set the couch on fire. I did look under the cushions for stuff, first. Someone beat me to all the good stuff.

Yea, we're cooling off big time down here!

From NOAA:

Today: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 92. Humidity: 90%. North wind around 6 mph.

Tonight: A 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 75. East wind at 6 mph becoming south.

pektel · 09-10-2010, 09:54 AM

The girlfriend turned on the heat yesterday.

Why is it that women need such a large differential from whatever temperature it is outside? In the winter, she needs the thermostat at 75. In the summer, she wants it at 65. WTF? Money down the effin drain.

Goldie · 09-10-2010, 10:16 AM

I hold out until my breath is steaming inside the house.

NO EXCEPTIONS!

CigarNut · 09-10-2010, 11:50 AM

If it hits 70 then the AC stays on. Below 68 and I turn on the heat. I have had to do that for a couple of days so far. Wishing for more AC days though

Big_Ern · 09-11-2010, 12:38 AM

I still sleep with 2 fans and want to run the A/C all the time. I live in Canada. if its up to me we will not turn on the heat until it snows. I tell the wife to just throw on a damn sweater.

shilala · 10-04-2010, 11:18 AM

Lisa and I ran away from the cold and hit Nashville, it's 55 degrees here. I turned the oven on to get some heat in here.
I can't win.
I'm gonna go to one of those brainwashers so I can no longer tell when it's cold. Or else I'm gonna go down and move in with Carlos. Cold sucks.
