Freezing my butt off!!!!!

[Numistrek09]

Yeah, or maybe one of those roll around portable ones i see at Lowes and HD. Then you could take your AC into whatever room you're in! Florida summers suck as bad as Minnesota winters. Meaning both will kill you if you're left exposed unprotected to either.

The temp here in Mesa, AZ is 77 degrees right now. Windows wide open, shorts & sandals.

We'll see who's laughing come summer...actually, probably no one, somehow Kentucky gets both freezing winters and scorching summers:sigh:, bah, if I moved somewhaere else, at least i'd only get one extreme.

Glad to hear you got some heaters, Rob...I would watch those heaters carefully, and make sure they work right, since you got them at goodwill...just a general precaution:yes:.

 

[hatrack71]

29 degrees is cold to you Rob? That is a heat wave up here. When it gets around 20 below or colder, I start to get cold and blow off outdoor activities. Then again, I have lived in Montana for 37 years.

Some of you are being hard on him. He just said it is 39 degrees INSIDE his house!

It is going to be near 80 here, which is nice, but this is our 81st day with no rain. We are close a new record..........not good.

I'm just wondering why there is no heat... Is there not a heater installed, or is it broken and you forgot winter was coming in time to get it fixed?

I don't get it though.. you can manage to find all that gear, but not stop to think you're going to need heat and do something to remedy the problem?

Sorry, if it's the case of not stopping to think about winter, I'm just not feeling the sympathy here... you got time to find and tweak and rewire all that gear, but no time to get SOMETHING to provide heat???

West Palm Beach Florida James ! You know, a couple hundred mile due west of the Bahamas. Many times heaters are not easy to find down there. Like ....say, snow shovels !...
BTW it's freakin' cold here too....currently 13 degrees...Brrrrrrrrrrr !

 

[similost]

Well I'm glad to hear Rob finally got some heaters, but even I know it gets cold in Florida in the winter. I know even some super blue moons it snows there..

Hell, even in the desert it gets down to freezing at night, and over 100 during the day..

Granted, it may be hard to find a heater in the area, but how long has Rob known winter was coming? Man, if I had all that gear and didn't stop to get a heater for the approching winter, my wife would have moved out on me..

 

[stereorob]

well it never gets this cold down here, i grew up in orlando, and up in orlando the winters can be brutal! it gets into the 30s atleast 3 or 4 times during the winter, but down here in west palm, its very rare. its all good today though, the high is supposed to be 71, and its allready in the high 60s

 

[RayW]

well it never gets this cold down here

Case in point, it IS that cold down there.

Some of you are being hard on him.

Seems to be a recurring theme.

Some folks need to lighten up a bit.

Merry Christmas, Rob... stay warm, have fun!

 

[michaelhigh]

My Sony XDRF1HD keeps my entire house warm off of it's excessive heat! (hehe)... The beautiful music coming out of that giant-killer is keeping my ears warm, at least. My furnace is working for the rest of me, thank you for asking.

 

[michaelhigh]

While I can relate, I could also bring myself to sell a Marantz receiver real quick, buy a baseboard heater or two, and keep my wife in a somewhat warm trailer.

If your trailer can support powering fifteen receivers at once, surely it can power a couple big baseboard heaters. Step up to the plate, and get the job done.:thmbsp:

I got the solution; go to your lunchtime thrifts and buy a heater for $2.50 or something! Oh, I see now that that dawned on him...

 

[tuttle]

It got 10 below last night, and up to 8 above today. I had the sense to have heat. I just don't get not being prepared. Oh, what a pitty party this thread screams.

 

[cwall99]

long johns, good Patagonia socks, thermal shirt under a fleece pullover. That should do the trick.

 

[RayW]

Seems to be a recurring theme.

Yeah. People should read this thread lamenting his lack of a working furnace and then the one he's running concurrently asking people to sell him more receivers and RtR decks and just shake their heads in unbelieving silence.

Yes it does.
Don't you remember last year when it hit 33 in Miami and 26 in West Palm Beach??

Try candles.

Or, just maybe, he should listen to what everybody is saying:

Sell some of those receivers and buy a space heater.

...Agree with the rest - get some additional heat from selling your gear and getting some portable heaters...

...I don't get it though.. you can manage to find all that gear, but not stop to think you're going to need heat and do something to remedy the problem?...

Sell some of your stuff and fix the bloody thing. Your wife will thank you later.

Nope. He won't listen. To anybody.

Yeah. People should read this thread lamenting his lack of a working furnace and then the one he's running concurrently asking people to sell him more receivers and RtR decks and just shake their heads in unbelieving silence.

X 10.

Rob and his wife are living in a home with no heat precisely because of the decisions and choices he has made, and continues to make.

Period.

 

[Justen]

My house has no heat. It's a cozy 39 in here tonight. You'll survive just fine.

Or you'll sell some stuff and buy a heater. Either way, don't whine.

 

[stereorob]

Nasty? It's fascinating how you manage to consistently post ridiculous crap, and then complain about anyone who isn't jumping on the bandwagon and cheering you on.

If you post stuff to provoke a reaction from folks, you should expect that not every reaction will be positive. :scratch2:
