Oh man … it’s already October! Where did the summer go? I have a simple formula below to demonstrate what happens to my mood when I realize the changing of the seasons:
Summer = YES
AFFIRM Summer = patios
Patios = patio drinks
Patio drinks = MOOD: HAPPY
Now that it’s October, my programming works like this:
Summer = NO
Patio = NO
NEG Patio drinks = MOOD: WAH.
But – it doesn’t have to be like that for you. I suppose you could say, “That’s easy. My happiness doesn’t depend on drinking” – but that’s not fun – or honest. Instead, you could get a Blue Rhino Family Outdoor Patio Heater and extend your patio’s use past the typical summer season.
I’ve seen these at a few rooftop bars, but this particular model is designed for residential use. It stands 93″ tall and provides a 20 foot circle of warmth – definitely big enough to envelope a patio table filled with thankful patio-drink loving friends. This freestanding, pivoting heater provides 40,000 BTU and runs off of a propane tank with a simple safety and switch-off valve.
