Getting prepped for latest arctic blast

[LMichaels]

Supposedly our temps are going to drop like Wiley Coyote off a cliff tomorrow night through Monday Night. Last time we had the "vortex" my tire pressures dropped to 36 so with 38 called for, I aired them up to 40, figuring then they'll be 38. I'll drop them again if we warm up.
Also gave my baby a nice bath. I have one of these RYOBI 40V HP Brushless EZClean 600 PSI 0.7 GPM Cordless Battery Cold Water Power Cleaner with 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger RY124052K - The Home Depot
So I took the car out to the back yard. (I have a faucet out there with soft water). Filled up a 5 gal bucket with some good car wash suds, then 2 more with plain water. (All my hoses were still frozen ). Pressure rinsed with plain, used my wash mitt, cleaned a section, powered off, when buckets were empty refilled with rinse water. Got it done quite nicely. In the garage dried it down with microfiber cloths and did the windows inside. Not my best work but got it done.

Car washes around here were packed today, everyone trying to get all that salt off before the next round.
I got a steak cook planned for tomorrow , should be fun.

 

[LMichaels]

Yeah, I thought about heading out to a car wash, but in the end decided to get my fat a$$ out there and do it myself

Forecast for here is -15 to -20 F Sunday & Monday nights, and windy. Good time to be an indoor critter.

Yessir. Definitely won't be trying to stretch the range on my BZ. I know the limitations Supposed to be dry during the spell so, that's why I figured WTH, get some soap and water on that beast

Salt on the windshield from the ocean air after a week at the beach in San Diego in early December. Never seen that before.

The animals are getting ready too! We’re supposed to get a few inches of snow tomorrow followed by frigid temps the early part of next week. Caught these guys filling their bellies on my trail cam along side the house last night.

That WT Buck has zero concerns about those Foxes and the Foxes are thinking "where's the ones with spots?"

I can’t get too worried about the weather that’s coming, SWMBO is back in for some “clean up” on the spinal surgery tomorrow morning. But, before I came down, I did clean up some ice residue on the sidewalk so, I’m about as ready as I’m going to be.
This has been the most harrowing experience I’ve had to deal with!
Went home last night and made some real food and collapsed. Today is pretty nondescript by comparison. It’s early yet!

Likely spring before she gets home at this rate!

Hang in there. You and she are in our thoughts and prayers, even if we don't have words to share.

I'm cooking a brisket for family in Seattle. It was 28F at 6am and only 3 degrees higher after 5 hours. But the 18"WSM doesn't mind one bit.

None of us need that, for sure, but some worse than others.

Weather station said well below 0 F overnight, 12 degrees now, and planning on grilling sirloin & asparagus for dinner.

<WaylonJennings>Ya'll stay warm now, ya hear?</WaylonJennings>

Thanks guys, she’s tough as nails but this is really wearing us both down.
I dropped off a belated Christmas gift to a buddy and he’s invited me for dinner and to take a plate down for Sandy, how kind of him.
I appreciate all the prayers and good wishes, the “clean out” surgery is slated for Monday morning and then real PT will start all over again! Lost two full weeks with all this, “Ain’t nobody happy right now.”
She will appreciate some decent food after the last weeks of hospital “food”!
Will drop windowshades this afternoon and try to keep warm as best possible.
