Default Hmmm

Funny...you blokes are lighting 'em, and Max is putting 'em out.

Personally I blame your freezing temperatures on global warming.

Generally speaking, Canadians are in favour of global warmng.

One car is dead in the driveway, and the other has run two and three times a day just to keep the fluids uncongealed. Yup. It's cold outside.

When I had my first diesel VW, there was a table in the manual to dilute the fuel with up to 40% kerosene so it flowed.

A week of foggy mornings followed by bright blue sky in the afternoon broken up today with a little rain keeping the lawn green!

Harry:
You have nothing over us: I too saw my lawn the other week when I tore a chunk of it out plowing the lane to my shop. OK, so I haven't seen my whole lawn in about 3 months, but I'm sure it is still under there somewhere. At least I don't have to worry about dandelions for another 4 months.

Looking over the Ottawa forecast for the weekend, it looks like Shilo will actually be considerably warmer than those in the capital region. Yay!!

As to burning wood, it has been too cold to start the tractor to clear the snow so I can get the trailer next to the woodpile. As a result, we are down to our last couple of sticks of wood in the front porch. Guess the furnace will have to do what it was designed to do until the weekend. Single digit negative temperatures.....sure looking forward to them.

Default Nip in the air around here too

Hi All

Yes, we are back to winter temperatures coldest in two years with -20C.

Yesterday in only got up -15C sounds so much colder in Celsius.

Just went out to the shop to turn the heat up, so I can go out and work a little later.

Cheers Phil
