Last night the temperature at 3:30am outside was 16 degrees. (I have a remote thermometer outside that tells me these things). Inside the trailer, with only one 1000 watt reflective dish heater going at full power, it never got below about 58 degrees, and I was comfortable in a hoodie, sweat pants, and heavy socks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though the snow was not heavy and did not stick past about 2:00 pm, it made a coating of mud that is some of the stickiest stuff I've ever seen. A mud deck and sheltered entry for the trailer is going to be a necessity if I'm going to keep the inside floor clean.
Today I've been cleaning my work boots with a long-handled stiff bristle brush that I bought at Gustins Hardware in Mountainair yesterday morning. It's better than nothing, but the entry deck will have duck boards and heavy sisal doormats, and a place to sit to remove muddy boots.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No fence work today. We needed to pour concrete for a heavy corner brace assembly at the South end of our West line, and for gate posts in the West line of Wendy and Tim's 57 acres.
The west end gate is a requirement for the electrical CO-OP easement access. Anyway, no concrete work today either.
The forecast is for sunshine and warmer weather tomorrow.
