Not the weather, that's been here since November, but the mindset.
I've got a boat halfway built in the shed 50 feet away. It's heated. At the touch of a button it's like the sun comes out and shines on my head and shoulders as I work away on a fun project. But it's so dark. And cold. And just listen to that wind howl. I'll eat some supper first, even though it is only 5:30. Let me check my e-mail, the internet forums, facebook, put some more wood in the stove. The coals are building up too deep, need to get them burned down. Better stay inside a bit longer and baby sit it. Joined the gym yesterday for the first time in years. I really want to go tonight but not until it gets a little later and the crowd thins out. I'll work in the shop for a while first. Geez, look at that snow blowing around out there. It's too late to work in the shop tonight AND go to the gym. I'll just sit down and read for a while. More wood in the stove. Can't let it get behind. -15F and 30 mph winds tonight pushes my house and stove nearly to the limit. Gotta get those coals burned down and keep it hot. Better sit here and read a while longer. Wow, is that all the later it is? Ok, time to get up and do something. Almost late enough to go to the gym, probably not many people left now. Better check e-mail again, facebook, the internet forums. More wood in the stove. I'll make one quick post and then I'll get dressed to go to the gym. Right after another load of wood goes into the fire. Geez, listen to that wind blow.
Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.....
