Love that little 12V wonder! I&#8217;m glad I now know I can sleep with it on all night if I need to. I wouldn&#8217;t do that when boondocking, but when I&#8217;m on shore power it&#8217;s more cost effective (and quiet) than running the furnace off and on.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m waiting for things to get a little warmer (and less slick) before I go out and do my fliers. I need to do all six routes today since Jody and I are road-tripping again tomorrow. It&#8217;s going to be a long day, but the sun is out so if the wind cooperates the job shouldn&#8217;t be too onerous. I finally have my routes laid out in the most efficient way possible so my goal is to shave fifteen minutes off each to finish all six in four and a half hours instead of six hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was COLD.
