I fell on ice a few years back a got a pretty good concussion. Had a headache for a week. Was in a fog for a few days. But, I saved the beer I was holding
I keep a little oil filled rad in the engine room on its lowest setting. It's not necessary but I feel it helps keeps things from getting brittle in freezing temps (hoses). I also keep a plug in heater in the galley. When I go play around, I'll plug it in while I'm there. I made the mistake of...
