George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>I've had to put on a KN-95 mask inside the RV the air quality in here is getting so bad from the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/wind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wind</a> and blowing <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/dust" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dust</a> outside.

George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>The howling wind outside is so bad that it's rocking and shaking the camper, and I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything productive today. Can't wait for this Red Flag Warning / Fire Season to be over. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RVlife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVlife</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>Oof the haze today is something fierce!

George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>The maximum <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/wind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wind</a> today was supposed to be 11MPH. The blustery gusts of wind rocking and shaking my RV didn't get the memo. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RVlife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVlife</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>Gale-force winds today. Jebus it's windy! <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>It was 33℉ when I got up this morning, and 49℉ inside the RV. (I had set the furnace thermostat to 45℉ when I went to bed last night). Trying to conserve some propane because temps are expected to dip down into the low 20s over the next few days. (I've got probably 80lbs of propane on hand so I should be fine.) Still. ;-) Of course everything is on right now (furnace and 3 space heaters) to quickly bring the temp up to &gt;68℉ so I'm comfortable, then will turn everything back down to 62℉ for the rest of the day. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RvLife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RvLife</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>Oof! The wind is <i>fierce</i> today here in west Albuquerque! It's been pretty windy past couple of days, and brings a nice chill to the air. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>Low tonight forecasted to be 48℉ and tomorrow night 34℉. Don't think I'm going to need to turn on the hose heaters until Thanksgiving night. Then the low is forecasted to get down to 25℉ so definitely going to need them then. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RvLife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RvLife</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>The thermometer says it's getting warmer both inside and out, but man it doesn't feel like it! Haha Still below freezing so I can't really run the electric space heaters, have to rely on the propane furnace until it gets above freezing. We have gone up like 5F since I woke up. Have another 7 more to go... <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RvLife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RvLife</a></p>
George Ellenburg (he/him/his)<p>22℉/ -6℃ forecasted for tomorrow morning. Brr... I should have enough propane for tonight but definitely going to need to buy some tomorrow. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/NMwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/ABQwx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABQwx</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/RvLife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RvLife</a></p>
