Default Keeping Warm

Brrrr It was 52 here this morning but as always I got up early, made a latte and went out to the deck.

There in the frigid morning air I was toasty warm and bathed in heat.

A friend of ours gave this to us, they'd bought it for a party and never used it.

It's 8 feet tall, runs on propane and heats a 10 foot or so diameter.

Nice Toy

Mushroom heaters, I recently picked up a used one. They are quite popular in Ca.

I think those are the heaters they use on restaurant patios. Very effective!

That is quite a bit cooler than you've been having, isn't it? Is this a cold front that will be gone soon or will it stay cooler?

I like those heaters. They are common on outdoor patios of restaurants here in So Cal. Costco sells them seasonally and online. I've been tempted but then, I think about getting one of the rock/fire deals, that run on propane, too. You get the heat down lower but with a flame. I'd rather someone gave me one, like you got.

My sister's family just left Florida this morning. They were there for a week, taking their two Ukrainian teenagers to Disney World. They'll be back in Falcon, near Colorado Springs, tonight. Can't wait to hear about it.

Kyras It's only a temporary thing, when we get a big n wind this time of year it brings it South. We're mitigated by the Gulf of Mexico however and it's temp today is 83 degrees so when the N wind goes, and the S wind blows we'll be around 83 degrees.
