I certainly remember having a ton of fun with an Erector Set!

Not terribly cold… 8˚ low, 15˚ high (-13˚ C to -9˚ C for Jim ;) ) but the kids are on Thanksgiving break so it was a good day for this.

I had put the sets away this afternoon, but they kept asking for them after supper and they’ve already been building again for another hour :D

-13° !!! WOW.... Jen and I would love to feel that for a day Nick. I remember those vids of Lenn throwing boiling water up and it falling down frozen.

You know I just can't get my head around that don't ya' ???

Hottest day here I have ever felt and seen recorded where I live was 48.6°C (120°f) that's nearly the difference of water boiling between our two extremes Nick!
