The water from the well is at the right temp with a lot less problems.

I've never heard of anyone having the kind of problems your describing. Not even a friend of a friend of a friend.

I do know that prolonged exposure to the cold will slow your body and mind way down. I'm not telling you what to do, but a warm shower might give you a whole new way of thinking.
 
They also used to put leaches on you to suck out the bad stuff. They had all sorts of witch craft before they knew about modern medicine.

Actually leech therapy has made a comeback in the last few decades as a legitimate medical tool for certain conditions. Think I am going to keep having hot showers and sitting in my hot tub despite the risk.
 
Worked on the wood pile for about 5 hours today with temps pretty chilly for around here- in the upper 20's. After any day working outside in the cold, I look forward to nothing more than a nice dark beer in the shower. Porters and stouts are my favorite in the winter and today's reward was a nice Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.
So what's your reward after a day of working outside in the winter?
Going out in the woods is my reward. I only do a couple cords a year, so cutting and splitting is actually fun at this level. Stacking still isnt.
 
For the honest answer from me, I cut wood cause "I want to"! I'm 63 and retired when I was 59 and I just ain't the type to go to a gym and pay to work out but I will ride my UTV with my little trailer out to our woods and spend hours running saws when "I want to" and I'll take a break and smoke a cigar when "I want to" and I occasionally I'll drink a beer when "I want to" and even though I have a hydraulic splitter I split with a maul when "I want to". I don't post a lot on here but today "I want to".

Yep, and every day is Saturday for me too.
 
Narragansett Coffee Milk Stout, it tastes like ice coffee, soooo yummy
 
The wife stopped by the local butcher (my cousin) and the bakery and brought home 2 ny strips and some sweets. I ate both steaks (she's a vegetarian), potatoes, green beans, baked beans and water. Had a hot bath in the jet bath now relaxing in my flannel jammies thinking about a warm cup of bedtime tea. Haven't been drinking beer, been fighting off a cold. She got freshly smoked bacon for breakfast tomorrow and fresh eggs from our chickens. Gotta get geared up for tomorrow - have to dig out the wood stacks and haul down to the house. I looked out there this afternoon and could just see the top of the stacks. The snow is very deep here this year.
Sounds a lot like my life.
Wife is vegetarian too so I get the NY strip-loins.
My reward is a veggie lasagna, sitting in front of the 55" screen with the wife, dog, cats, a Mount Gay rum and coke and a nice warm fire of course.
We also have a huge egg farm near us to buy our farm fresh eggs from for our weekend breakfasts.
Lots of snow here too. Over two and a half feet on the lawn.
I feel like a lucky man.

Careful! You know that leads to Heroin addiction, armed robbery of 90-year-old grand mothers, baby eating, psychosis, homelessness, and every other TRUTH they explained in the great truth telling movie "Reefer Madness". It is still classified as a narcotic. Highly addictive! Run for the hills! Stop the madness! Save yourself while you can.

......uhhhhh unless you live in CO or WA. Then it's cool. Party on Wayne!

Yes...dead flesh...I forgot that point....ha,ha

I guess you guys are right. I'm going out right now to shut off the hot water and drain the hot tub. I'm also never going to the doctor again. It's cold water and witch craft for me from now on:baaa:
