A Frigid Weekend Ahead
Brr! We just got our first cold snap of the winter. It’s not brutal, but I am so glad to not be in the rig. I have to admit that knowing that this weekend I will be warm with indoor plumbing with no effort on my part is making me much less homesick. 
I strung out 150′ of extension cord yesterday and finally plugged in Miranda. After being parked for a month and a half, the battery was still fully charged. It’s not like I had anything running, of course, but it was nice to see that ‘battery fully charged’ notification beeping steadily all that time.
There’s one heater running full blast in the rig now. I just went in and poked my nose it. The rig was chilly, but not cold. I’ve made a note to go pick up a thermometer so I can take proper readings and determine if I need to get a second heater.
I had really hoped to spend time in the rig this weekend and start repainting the study and putting another couple of layers in the kitchen, but that’s not going to happen at 20 below! After working three weekends straight in a row, I think I might have earned a weekend of lazing about and the weather is forcing me to take it.

I’m heading your way (kind of) just to experience that cold snap. Kidding. I’m flying into Calgary on Sunday then driving to Creston, BC. In Toronto, when we get cold snaps of -17, it’s uncomfortable, so l’m not sure how l will enjoy my week there
Although, when l was in Gunnison, Colorado the other week it wasn’t too bad when the sun was shining being at 7800 feet.
Where I’m at currently, there is an unusually cold November. We even had mixed snow/rain the other day. I’m also currently out of my rig, but will be back in it before the end of the month and heading south unless the pass is closed or other problems.
