What did you do to your Yamaha today?

Luckily, I do have a heated garage - I mean I turn on the heat to work. Can't afford to heat it all the time.

 

That's Minneapolis... I'm near Mora where it's gonna get even colder.

 

Heat wave on Monday!

Too bad those aren't them there ferrin' Celsius temps, that would keep you so much warmer.

Pro-tip:

Fahrenheit (sounds German, doesn't it? Pronounce with a real guttural "oomph" if you wish...) is named after the German-Dutch physicist Daniel Fahrenheit (1724) who developed it primarily for use in industrial and climate purposes. A single degree F is about the lowest perceivable difference in temperature that a human can detect accurately.

Centigrade (now posing as "Celsius") was developed by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742 (about 20 years after the Fahrenheit scale was developed), and if the word reminds you of the metric system (i.e. centimeters), well that's because it divides the measurements into a more "human"-relatable scale ---- a hundred evenly-spaced units since freezing (0* C) and boiling water (100* C) are easier to remember and relate to.

Prior to these measurement scales, there was no standard for temperatures, and the only measurement which devices could tell you was whether the current temperature was hotter or colder than a previously measured temperature. Most relied on the expansion characteristics or air and/or water (or both, since they both expand or contract in volume as things get hotter or colder) and thus a relative level of "hottness" or "coolness" was possible, but no universal "actual temperatures" existed....although, as long as the exact same instrument was being used by a person, then they could develop their own private "scale" of measurement......think of an old-style glass thermometer (the ones filled with mercury that you would stick under your tongue, or shove straight up your ******** for even better accuracy....) but without any defined measurement scale engraved into it: "Well, look, the measurement is way down thar', better bring the cows into the barn tonight".....
