Pretty cold here today too. It's -1 right now, and the water tank heater flipped the breaker this afternoon, which caused our internet to suddenly go down. It took us a while to figure out why our internet suddenly quit! Phil plugged the tank heater into the freezer breaker, which doesn't have the GFI safety thing. That always makes me a little nervous when it comes to tank heaters, but at the same time I know there's nothing wrong with it--it's just that we have "up to code" GFI outlets that are way too sensitive and easy to overload. My trucks are constantly tripping them when the temperature drops very low and the block heaters start working harder. We put in the "freezer outlet" for the trucks, but it works for the tank heater as well. Kind of a nice thing to have!
I also made butter this afternoon! We compared it side-by-side with the store butter and the goat butter is really, really mild--almost flavorless. The store butter tasted almost tangy after tasting the goat butter. I wonder if there's a culture I could use for the butter to give it a little more kick.
