Thanks Gord

That was a real find, now I'll spend a couple of hours exploring what else the NFB has when I could be out in the cold working on the trucks. Let me see 10 F with 30 mph wind, wonder how long it will take to get the shop from 40F to 60F. Just watching that film makes me shiver.

..... you must be having a January Thaw....

..... it was minus 22 C this morning..... windchill minus 33 C......

forecast is minus 25 C for the next two nights.... hopefully with no wind....

Frost bite warning have been issue until Sunday....

No doubt Lucifer will be chugging this weekend.....takes about 2 to 3 hours to bring the temp in the barn above freezing...... another 2 to 4 hours to get 50+ F......... by then it is time to go back to the house for supper.....

On the positive side...... we have had little snow and the last snowfall has dropped in a icy base...... with the high wind our recent snow is now 200 km to the East of us.....

CMP recovery is out of the question........
