Chilly, but not bitter cold here... 29 headed for 15, and the forecast includes our 7th consecutive weekend of snow... ick... the weather reporters are starting to talk about records for number of consecutive days with snow on the ground, although that's 63 days and we're only at about 30 (I forget exactly).

That would feel warm here right about now. Right now it's 1 F.

One degree! ONE! And its ALLLLL MIIIIIINE!!!! Bwaaaahaaaahaahaaaaa!
 
Climbing poles in the cold must be loads of fun.

This is an office job. Lots of engineering protocols and working my magic to get broken stuff to run right. It's a rather ordinary corporate job, just one that needs to be done 24x7 instead of 9-5 :)

Yeah, it did that here a couple of weeks ago... but I just keep remembering the last year I lived in Wisconsin, when it hit a record for length of time below 0, and it was something like 33 days... here, they measure it in hours, so it could be LOTS worse!
 
Arite I think I'm going to see if I can get out of here a bit early

You know...before it hits zero.

Be back online in an hour, if anyone's awake :)
 
Good luck with that... not being at work, and having been up since 5:30 (it's nearly 10 here) and slept poorly the last couple of nights, I'm going to bed. G'night, all!
 
Good Morning Drac.

Whats on your agenda for today? Have to work at all, or do you get to enjoy a Saturday for once.
 
Morning bydand..Naw I gotta work BOTH jobs today, the full and the part time..My day won't offically end until about 10:30 PM...
 
That sucks! But just remember the upcoming seminars and travel you will be able to do.

My 2 oldest have their Pinewood derby today and my day is pretty well taken up with that and surrounding activities.

That's what keeps me going, that and the fact Father Greek and I are hosting a seminar here in May..So the exta bucks will come in handy...
 
Plus this year they are having a sibling/community race after the official race for the boys, so I had to build 2 cars for my littlest hombres. Thank goodness the older two can do everything else on their cars except the major cutting on the bandsaw. They design, sand, prime, paint, decorate, and graphite their own cars.

I was never a scout, but I use to watch then build those cars when I was a member of the YMCA..I am envious of anyone that can work with wood..I did TERRIBLE in woodshop
 
It helps that their Grandpa (My Dad) is an fantastic woodworker and has quite an extensive woodshop. Of course Mom is a bit peeved that she no longer has any use of what was a 2 car garage. :) They even are dabbling in internet sales through their own web site/store. That I would NEVER had forseen because Dad is a computer imbicle, and he just bought a machine that he does design work on the computer and sends it to the machine and it carves the design out in really good detail.
 
There was a guy o my parents street that converted his 2 car garage into a machine shop..He had some top-of-the-line macjones and did some sweet bike parts..More envy from me as I sucked WORSE at metalshop..Did I mention my Dad is a Tool and Die maker trained in the old school tradition???
 
I can't do a darn thing with metal either! My Grandfather was a machinest way back and another friend is a Tool and Die maker in Flordia. I at least inherated some talent for woodworking, but not much. :)
