Brrr! Who ordered the Cold Temps? Not a Rant as Others Have it Worse!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mike McCann - Broker, Mach1 Realty Farm & Commercial Land Broker-Auctioneer Serving Nebraska

Jeesh....is it my advanced age?  Maybe my internal thermometer needs adjusting? Global Cooling?  

Brrr!  I have been cold...even had to break out a heavier jacket this week.

Thank heavens I have a nice hot cup of Joe from Kitt's Calico Coffee. 

Not sure what it is but it has been a cold week here in central Nebraska. We are averaging about 10 degrees or more below normal.

That would not be a big deal IF  and it is a big IF...if I could park my work truck inside the garage.  Alas...I do not have room for 2 Suburban's and 2 Jeeps.  So my old work pal 2013 Suburban has to sit outside.

Last year my remote start worked flawlessly...but alas...another 30,000 miles has put me at 208,500 miles and for some reason I keep throwing a code that prevents the remote from working right. Need to figure that out soon.

Amazing how sometimes you miss something when it breaks! (like always)

I know...I know...take it to a professional that knows what they are doing...BUT I prefer to be a FSBO with my vehicles that are not under warranty. 

You know - Fix Stuff BOwner!  I have saved thousands fixing what I own. 

I do most of my own vehicle maintenance type work...but the engine electrical issues tax me at times.  I change my own oil, do my own brakes, mechanical repairs, etc. but when it comes to electronics, I do not have all the tools for these newer vehicles.

So as I await the bank lobby opening to deposit a closing check...I am going to just sit back and enjoy the cold morning...sip my coffee...or maybe go out on the coffee shop deck and freeze for a few minutes...after all...the temp has risen 12 degrees in the last hour and now is a balmy 26...which is way warmer than some of you have it....and we have no snow. 

So no...I am not complaining.      OK - maybe just a bit jealous...of you all in the warmer regions of our great country!

Until Next Time....Have a great Tuesday!

Sorry all... tried to load a couple of photos but was not successful...just imagine a hot cup of coffee at your favorite coffee shop!  Mike

Good morning, Mike... great to "see" you this morning! It's only 36 degrees in Charlotte and for us that's crazy cold! (And it's not why I moved to Charlotte from NY City!) This, too, shall pass. Stay warm!

Hello Mike - I wonder whether if weather wasn't on the list of conversation topics, what options for topics of conversation would take its place?  Well, thankfully talk of things toooo cold or much toooo hot remain a part of chat-starters.  Over a cup or two of coffee.   Or countless other possibilities. . .   Cheers!

Thank you for stopping by Nina Hollander, Broker and Michael Jacobs 

Yep...still alive and kickin and we could always talk politics...NOT!

We could talk college or pro football...no thanks...my team gave another one away.

We could talk about why we live where we live or why we moved from the really big city to a big city...

But the bank lobby opens in 1 minute and I have to use the boys room after 2 large cups of coffee!!   LOL   LOL   LOL   Later!!! ☕

Mike McCann Nebraska Land Broker hi Mike... for someone who spent her life in "big" cities like NY City, San Francisco, Paris, London, Washington, DC... Charlotte was not "exactly" a big city. :)))

Wow...those are some big cities!  I agree with you.

My son lived in DC for a couple of years working for one of our Senators about 10 years ago. I did not think it was that big but never have been to Charlotte either.  Never been to NYC and never plan on going...been to San Francisco but over 30 years ago...and never been overseas. 

Wild that my screen saver popped up just a few minutes ago of a drone shot of London...never have seen the photo before but showed the Bridge and some large pyrmid shaped building and the river with a lot of boat traffic.

Rode to the office with the top down on my Jeep. It was freezing, but I did it!

Doug,   I have a former real estate business partner in your neck of the woods. We were both Re/Max agents in Colorado Springs for years. Brent Spaulding who is still active and is also instructing at Team Hughes Real Estate School!.   Great guy and we miss him a lot. Been over 20 years since we have gotten together.

Hi Mike,
I am in Arizona for the winter. I check the weather at home every morning to make myself feel good about spending the money to be here. 😂

Carol Williams... I was in Arizona a couple of times. 

Once when it was 107 degrees and once when it was in the 80's in January.  One thing I noticed both times...even 25 years apart between visits...way too many people in the Phoenix area for this country boy!  Thank you for stopping!

Hi Dorie Dillard Austin TX   We have cracked 40 degrees and may make it to 48.  Need to get outside and put up Christmas lights this week or it isn't going to happen.   Thanks for stopping by...

Hearing about your cold weather makes me so grateful to live in a place where I rarely need a heavy jacket, haha.

Ah yes, it's the time of year that gets cold here as well. It's been in the teens in the morning and around 30ish by the afternoon. I've already pulled out the winter wear!

HI Mike- I've missed your posts like this one. I'm embarrassed to say that this week, we've had morning temps in the mid 50s  and daytime temps in the mid 60s and I'm freezing!!!! You would laugh if you saw me dressed for our morning walks!!!  Enjoy your coffee, Mike.
