Love a commute where the engine temp gauge barely moves. Also, the roads sucked. I should have worked from home today.
I saw a lot of makeshift radiator covers when I worked in the auto shop back in the day. You'd be surprised how often people do that and then forget until it warms up and the engine overheats.
It got to normal operating temp on the way home just now!
Both of our vehicles have remote start now, and we're not afraid to use it.
Three cheers for the holiday

It's my #1 go-to
Family lore is my dad ate PB&J everyday for lunch his entire school career
That's dedication. Hope he at least got different flavors of jam
FanGraphs writeup of international FAs. De Los Santos is a SS and Beltre is a RF.
Ah man, they canceled school tomorrow.
Dudes. It’ll get really cold (for here) over the next 48 hours. Already the state has announced the closure of all offices, several parishes have called off school, and the archdiocese has closed. I may get a free 4 day weekend.
School not canceled here, but I'm definitely working from home. I had to go in today and the roads were brutal.
Bored, so thumbing my nose at the temps and catching Godzilla Minus One at the theater this afternoon
Very good movie; dusting of snow in the meantime, so a little care spent getting home
