It Is Like A Sauna In Here

As you may recall from a previous posting, I had been living in "The Igloo". I think that maybe the pilot light went out on the furnace. I don't even know where the furnace is in the place. And I am too lazy to get a hold of the landlord to come and fix what is wrong. So I went to my trusty old reliable space heater from my college days. It always got the attic nice and toasty in the winter time. That was 15 years ago. Here is "Old Reliable".Last night I finished up work. I went to Fond du Lac to ride on the bike trail along the 151 Bypass. Afterwards I went shopping for some additions to my Halloween costume. By the way, I am all in on being a clown. I have come up with quite the list of props that I plan to bring along with me. I hope that it will be funny. After all of that, I came back to "The Igloo", I fired up both the Playstation 2 and "Old Reliable". By the time I laid my precious head down to rest at midnight after 4 hours of playing video games, the room was an extremely comfortable if not mildly sweltering temperature of 75 degrees. I shut off "Old Reliable", because the fan does make some noise and when I woke up this morning, as you can see below, it was still 68 degrees. I am an engineer and what I do is solve problems. Kind of like Winston Wolfe.
