I've been working at Loveland for almost two weeks now. I like the work, but it's kind of depressing to work on powder days and not be able to snowboard. I get two days off a week, and for the most part, I spend those snowboarding, so I'm pretty much at Loveland seven days a week.
I changed my oil yesterday. That was an experience I don't plan to repeat, laying in the snow under my Jeep. It was cold. Hopefully, this oil change will last me till spring. I ride an employee shuttle to work, so I probably won't be putting many miles on the Jeep.
I didn't get to come home for Thanksgiving, which I was pretty disappointed about. I miss being able to see my family and friends and don't know when I'll be in Kentucky again. I worked Thanksgiving day, then went snowboarding Friday morning.
It was pretty cold during the middle of this week. The high on Wednesday was 2ºF and Thursday was 12ºF. Wednesday night, the overnight low was -8ºF. When I woke up for work, the water didn't work. The valve in front of the water meter had frozen. I had to heat it with a propane torch to get the water flowing again. Luckily, none of the pipes burst. I'm going to buy a thermostat controlled space heater to put in the bathroom to protect the pipes on cold nights.
Just turn on the heat!
