I had to thaw frozen water meters all that week. You ever fish out a wrench from the bottom of a water meter filled with water in sub 32° temps? Imagine almost burning off your face and eyebrows when you get a flare up of natural gas when you use a propane torch to thaw a frozen meter for a homeowner so desperate for water they give you cash. Had to refuse or get fired. I have a hard time remembering the 90s.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s was in the 1920s. Pa told me in April 1930 I fell off the family wagon going to town for ma’s corn meal and castor oil. Fell down a ravine and hit my head on a Boulder. Put me in a coma.

The coldest temp I was ever in was that week. But the coldest day I’ve ever worked in was a day when temps were in the 40s. Forecast was sunny and 50s and it stayed cloudy and in the low 40s. I dressed for 50s. So where I was working was windy as well. No sun, wind, 44° and I was in a tshirt and light jacket. That sucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
