I bet you are Ice Fishing on Sunday, in a little house. Something tells me, you do not have a "homeless" problem there.
I am basking in sleet to 50 degrees in 4hours. Is it any wonder sinus problems are big here? |

I now see why GM and Ford would transfer their personnel to Fargo, ND when they were "not preaching the company message"!
How do you get a farm tractor started up there? I am heading out right now to try and start my Deere which I had to "jump" yesterday in 25 degrees.... |

I don't know how you do it...
The low temperature in the Phoenix area is going to drop to 39 in the days ahead and people bundle up like they're getting ready for a blizzard. |

Change the oil to a lighter weight or build a $300,000.00 shed to put them in. The shed is what the farmers up here do! |

I think I will sell the farm.
I see where temps for the day after Christmas are a high of 62 degrees, and a little rain for all the new bicyclers to learn with their training wheels. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! |

Do many people wear heated jackets?
I was doing some Christmas shopping for myself and spent a fair amount of time checking out various Milwaukee tools trying to figure out if there was anything that I needed.
One of the items I came across that I thought was pretty cool was a heated jacket with hand warmers from Milwaukee that used their M12 batteries. Given that the weather in Phoenix isn't very cold I didn't have a need for the jacket but to the extent I hate being cold I'd definitely buy one if I still lived in the Pacific Northwest. Do many people who live in South Dakota wear heated jackets and if so is one brand more popular than the others? |

The video I watched on YouTube made the heated jacket look pretty compelling. I liked the idea that if you already had Milwaukee tools you'd have ready access to batteries and battery chargers. The jacket that I saw on YouTube not only had separate controls for heating for the jacket and the hand warmers it also had a separate cord that could use the Milwaukee battery to charge a smartphone while the smartphone was in the pocket of the jacket. Seemed pretty cool to me... |

Who knows, maybe heated jackets can become a new profit center for you. |
