Woke this morning at 4:30, and Alexa in the bedroom gave the brief rundown of weather. 43°, OK need to dress warm for golf ride.

In the kitchen our Himalayan wanted to be picked up and snuggled, while I made coffee. While staring at the Alexa in the Kitchen set for our northern home in Michigan temp is 41°.

Granddaughters text from Michigan at 4:45, “Need your Columbia jacket this morning:cold:” Definitely putting the sides down on the cart this morning.

Time for chili.

Great minds think alike.. spouse already had the slow cooker filled with spices and ground chuck. Chili for dinner, I’m going to need the warmth.

If we could find northern large navy soup beans, I would be very happy.

Publix & Walmart.

Camella Great Northern Dry, online, or sometimes if I am desperate Randell Great Northern Jar only far less additive and sodium.
Publix and Walmart only carries Canned usually Bush or their brand. Occasionally 16oz Randell but sodium in can is outrageous.

Randell’s is carried in Florida at some Rural King, in jars. Last 6 months no jars were available.

We try to plan ahead and use dry beans.

Where is global warming when we need it?

Midnight, we had a 5 course 4.5 hour dining event arriving home after 11:30. Chatting about evening then bedtime.
Early tee time, adding 45-50 minute cart ride, plus I always arrive at least 30 minutes early. So 4:30 wake up shower, light breakfast, scan the paper, weather, conversation with spouse, and out the door.

Pretty normal for our lifestyle

At least 3 days a week we are out late (after 10pm) Bonus living south of 44, lots of curfew rule breakers, after 11pm. We have active police presence, with Wildwood PD late at night. My spouse sees them every morning at 4am.

Same thing happened to me. Took a leak and went back to bed for 4 more hours and got up and it was a beautiful sunny day and already in the low 60’s. All good : )

Can’t help you on that question.. At 1:30p in the car heading to Palm Beach. Can’t really compare mid FL temp to the coastal water effects. You would be much more accurate on TVs temp at 4:30pm.

What was the temp at 4:30pm in TV?

This "chill" is being caused by the Hunga Tonga volcano, which is expected to produce a cooler summer and even a cooler winter next season.

Well, that's where access to economical and reliable energy comes into play -- with heating and A/C services. However, at 1 PM today (Mar 24) at Bridgeport, prior to the Chemtrails Talk, there will be a few words about why we have this cooling trend.

Living in Florida for 3 years now, we are now acclimated to being chilly at 50 degrees and putting on a heavy jacket for 35-40 degrees. Sure beats 0-30 in CT. But hot weather will be back soon and jackets will be back in the closet till next winter.

Michigan native, with 40 years coaching and refereeing in hockey rinks. I only brought light Columbia golf jackets, and a few sweaters, when we first came in 2007. Rest of our warm stuff still in our MI home, for snow removal, fun times.
I do however have a multitude of golf slacks, because our CCs up north don’t allow shorts. This week driving 45 minutes prior to the sun peeking out in the 40’s, I was asking myself who made this tee time, and what were we thinking.
First 2 foursome canceled. As did two playing partners.

I just will never understand why anyone would be up at 4:30am on purpose.

I haven't got up in the morning earlier than 6am for maybe 15 years and hopefully never again.

I prefer my sleeping hours to be around 1am-8am. Don't really miss anything at all during those hours.

Some choose professions that sleep time or length is an afterthought.

Started my night time ritual at 11:30pm, trying to finish last few chapters, which I didn’t.
Getting pour over with Blue Mountain ready. 4 hours of perfect REM and ready to go. Taking my cup outside to wait for the sunrise. Little yoga, pool temp is 77 so hopefully get in couple of miles. Two of three kids and one grand already texted “Good Morning”.

Not sure what it’s like to sleep more than 4-5 hours, but the morning quiet is always my favorite time.
