Wow, today was really cold when I went for my bike ride to the coast.
The air temp was just a bit above freezing, about 35F, and the sea temp was 55F.
It took all of my tenacity to strip down to my board shorts and go in the water with the coldness outside and the big waves pounding me. I think I stayed in the sea for only about five minutes because I was getting hammered with some pretty big waves. I talked to a surfer friend for a bit and then had to come home to my heating system and hot bath. It took me about 15 minutes to warm myself up in the hot bath and now I am feeling alright as I sit in my office and do my work. I am going to adjust the thermostat on my hot water heater so that I don’t run out of hot water when I take these baths. I think I can crank it up about 20 degrees and I should have plenty of hot water for my baths. I think the heating dealer told me that we have a month of cold weather, so it looks like I will be running my furnace for a bit longer before giving it a break. Summer will be here soon though and we will be playing music in all of the beach bars in town and having a lot of fun. I want to buy a new HVAC system next year so hopefully we can do a lot of gigs and bring in a bunch of money.
