Today, I froze my nuts off.


There were 4 of us working on the ore bridge today. WOP-sing, Hardy Har Har, myself, and New Guy. Damn, it was cold!! Imagine standing on a metal deck, 100 ft up, with no heat and no insulation, open to the elements. I thought I was being a sissy, warming my hands at the 100 watt light bulb, until I heard the guy on the radio say "Currently in Cleveland, we're at 15 degrees." HOLY SMOKES! No wonder I couldn't feel my toes, or fingers, or nose... As the temperature rose, up to 22, I felt like taking my jacket off. Tomorrow, with a forecast of 41 degrees, I imagine I'll be comfortable in a T-shirt.

Ok, I didn't really freeze my nuts off, they're still there; just shrunken remnants of what they used to be. Like those tiny marbles one finds in the yard once in awhile when weeding.
