OT - NO POLITICS Turn back the clocks edition

I hate coming back from a round of Golf in June to stack firewood.

Now I experience glory.

I was in Texas this weekend, for a reunion with my college buddies from the 80s. We were sitting on the back deck about 6-7 bourbons in and around 2am the topic of conversation switched to the Worst Christmas Song Ever Made....don't ask me why.

Our consensus was: Happy Christmas/War is Over by John Lennon and Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney.

We found it ironic that 2 of the greatest songwriters on arguably the greatest Rock N Roll band ever, completely whiffed on their Christmas songs....

Third place goes to Elton John's "Step Into Christmas" - one of the greatest songwriting duos (Elton & Bernie Taupin) ever and the best they could do is this dreck????

It is WAY too early for Christmas songs. It ruins them...makes them not special

My wife feels like you about it but I have the kids on my side so she’s resigned herself to being subjected to Christmas songs the moment they start playing on terrestrial radio…

66 downstairs where we pretty live during the day.
62 upstairs in the bedrooms.

Just got oil today for first time since May. Very happy to see it down $1.00 / gal from last year. 25%.
I’ll take it.

So you are a lizard! I feel like I know you much better now.

I had the fireplace on today and with that the living room got up to 66 and I had to swap my sweatshirt for a tee.

And that's our hot water source too

72 on the thermostat seems to be the sweet spot here. I will crank it to 74 and then turn off the heat before bed so when I wake up it is about 68.

"Let there be light" now turns on three lamps in my very dark living room.

"Darkness please" turns them all off.

I love it so much.

Read where one guy set his up so that when he says "my wife is mad again" Alexa turns all the lights red and plays Darth Vader's Imperial March
