I can't complain too much either. My job is mostly inside. You should see the guys framing, roofing and general construction guys. They look like the Michelin tire guy with who knows how many layers, but they are out there, plugging away. Sometimes they will wrap whatever part of a house or building they are working on in a plastic bubble with heaters inside. When we had that cold stretch I would go out and start my daughters car for her and even with a good hat and good gloves, whatever was exposed, really just hurt within the time it took to walk to the car. Like a good slap across the face. Put on top of that the younger two couldn't get outside to burn off steam and you have a house full of pent up energy. Even Mocha would run out, do her business and head back to the door. It was so cold one night, when I opened the back door to let them out, just the "warm" air from the house was steaming outside like a sauna. We also learned how to "vaporize" hot water in the cold air. That was pretty cool. (pun intended)
