Brrrrrrr! We hit 4 degrees last night. The neighbor’s cat came over to visit, put his paw on the aluminum flashing of the window, and his paw froze to the window!<BR>
<BR>
Took a minute or two before he got free. I think it is a little tender because when he arrived this morning he didn’t like standing on it too much.<BR>
<BR>
The good news is that it is 72 degrees in here and I hope it stays that way. That cat wishes he was inside, too.<BR>

<BR>
i ALWAYS enjoy the manner in which you solve your mechanical problems.<BR>
<BR>
in all seriousness, this sort of genius could well propel you into the clever invention which could cause you to retire prematurely with considerable wealth.<BR>
<BR>
i'm not kidding when i say this....<BR>
