Good morning, low temp 36 and going to a high of 57°F. Wind NE 6 mph. Sunny! I wonder if winter is actually over? WOW! KFC sure has gone up in price. Almost $43.oo for an 18 piece bucket. I think that bucket will be the first and last for 2022. I will load up the trailer today for the dump...

Happy Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Bird! Good morning all, a little cool this morning at 27 and going to a high of 55°F. Wind NNW 3 mph. Sunny! The Jeeps' trailer has lights again, BUT the frame is rotted out on both sides AND it has a busted spring. I will be taking it to the dump for a Sunday run...

Good morning, low temp is 25 and high to 48°F. Wind N 8 mph. Sunny! 'bout time. I did absolutely nothing yesterday other than a power nap. I did go into the basement and map out the new wood crib. All the wood (2x4s) is down there for it, I just have to rearrange it a bit. It will be 12' wide...

Happy belated Birthday, Thomas! We just put a fire in the upstairs stove about 15 minutes ago. A fire helps to drive the dampness out. I did nothing today, not a thing, after getting dressed. Oh, I did take a power nap about 1 P.M., so I guess I did do something today.

Good morning, low temp is 24 and going to a high of 39°F. Flurries/rain showers. They are talking about a couple of inches tonight. It wont stay, the ground is too warm. check will understand the location of this one moreso than the rest of you. Way back when the Young St. subway was being...

Good morning, low temp 39 and high to 43°F. Wind SW 8 mph. 40% chance of showers. Going to the dump and town for some vittals. We missed last Thursdays' dump/town run due to me and the goat being in the 'big smoke'. One of the main reasons I bought this place is because I really like my...

Good morning, low temp 55 and staying there. Wind SSE 9 mph. 40% chance of showers. T-storms last evening didn't amount to much, but the rain sure did come down. Sounded like a freight train on the roof. We got a lot of the rotten wood from putting up unlined wooden boxes around the house...

Thanks for the condolences and prayers guys. The way I look at all the pets AND people that aren't with us anymore is that every time you think or speak of them they are alive in your heart.

Good morning, low temp is 38 and going to 41°F. Wind E 13 mph. A few showers. The Markham trip went good. the best thing about it is that I get paid at my 'tanker' rate for all 2.5 days of meetings. got my medical done for my license, so I am good to go in that respect. I got the 25 pounds of...

Good morning, low temp is 26 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind E 6 mph. Partly cloudy. Easter dinner/supper was turkey with dressing inside the bird for me. Son only stuffs the neck and that is plenty for just me. Todays dinner/supper for them is lamb (have I mentioned how much I don't like...

Good morning and Happy Easter. Temp is 22 and going to a high of 43°F. Wind N 7 mph. Turkey is on the menu for today with whole berry cranberry sauce, stuffing and potatoes. Apple pie for desert. We don't normally have desert, so the pie is a treat. Tuesday through Saturday I will be either...

RIP Emily. The thunder boomers are here. Re; TPM sensors, I have them in the Dodge s winter tires but not in the summers. I just drive for about 20 miles and the computer takes care of the rest. If the light doesn't want to go out a piece of duct tape works and presto the light is out.

Good morning, low temp 42 and going to a high of 43°F Wind W 3 mph. Periods of rain with T-storms developing this afternoon and evening. The cats will love those. NOT! There were 5 tractor buckets of bark and cat poop in the basement. I dumped the first bucket on snow, then covered it with more...

Although suckers are bony, filet them to get the bones out. They taste like whitefish when they are deep fried. Quite a few years ago whenever I went smelt fishing, if we caught suckers we would do them up along with the smelts, pan fry the smelts and deep fry the suckers. A good feast along...

Good morning, low temp 29 and high to 55°F. Wind calm. Sunny! It is time to move a couple of snow piles to the middle of the driveway, spread them out and let them melt. Other than that I have nothing to do. Have a safe day all

Good morning, low temp 26 and going to a high of 41°F. Wind NNW 9 mph. Cloudy. We got about 1/2" of snow overnight. I'm not doing anything with it. Not much on the books for today, so I will conserve energy. Have a safe day all

You guys that have gotten the catarac surgery...Is there any pain involved?

Eye appointments all done. Mine haven't changed much in the past 3 years, (I got them done before alligatoritus struck up here and we got sent to house arrest). I have a new pair of lenses coming anyway for the frames I've had for the past 5 years. Hardex lenses with photo gray extra tint and...

Good morning, low temp 34 and going up to 48°F. Wind WNW 3 mph. 60% chance of showers. The only thing I am doing today is the eye appointment at 3 P.M. There are three of us going, so that will take until 4 and with a 45 minute drive home will make us late for supper/dinner/tea/the late...

Good morning, low temp 41 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind ESE 13 mph. Rain. (y) The warm rain will cut away the snow and the 13 mph wind will help it all evaporate. That is why the thumbs up. toppop, sorry to hear about more trouble. Today will be another energy conservation day. Have a...

Good morning, low temperature is 38 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind ENE 11 mph. Sunny! (y) I'm up way too early this morning. The good thing is that I can go back down for a power nap later. It will be interesting to find out what caused the oil tank to deform like that. I'm not sure what...

Good morning, low temp is 31 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind ESE 6 mph. Mostly cloudy. :( I got the power washer back and the mechanic taught me how to relieve the lock if it ever hydro-locks again. Eye appointment set up for all three of us for Friday in North Bay. I am hoping there isn't...

Paul, how do you figure you 'lost' an engine? It is right there on the starboard wing, right where it is supposed to be.

Good morning, low temp 25 and going to a high of 43°F. Wind N 5 mph. Mainly sunny. Dog goes for a pedicure this afternoon at the vets. She is super high strung (Pug), so they usually give her a mild sedative. She is not my choice for a dog, but then again she is not mine either. She belongs to...

Good morning, low temp 30 and going to a high of 39°F. Wind NE 5 mph. 70% chance of flurries/rain showers. I got the lights installed, but I am going to let the garage wire them up and install a new light cord plug. They gotta make a buck too. We've only got the one decent garage in town and if...

Good morning, low temp 19 and going to a high of 41°F. Wind SW 2 mph. Sunny! I will go this morning and pick up the power washer that has been in the shop since October. Hydro-locked he said. Might put the new lights on the trailer, too. I tore one off when I was plowing, got a little too...

Congratulations on new grandbaby, Eric. The snow we had overnight and today has melted. I am back to a brown driveway. March went out like a lion. I got a phone call today and the power washer that I bought last May is ready to be picked up. It has only been in the shop since October. The...

Good morning, low temp 24 going to a high off 30°F. Wind NNW 15 gusting to 21 mph. 60% chance of flurries. We've gotten 1/2" of snow overnight. :( It is going to warm up next week, so maybe I can get some stuff done. Other than the drive south from the bay, I never experienced the 'high winds'...

The North Bay trip was uneventful. Left town at 9 and got back at 2. Pretty windy southbound on 11. Dodge unloaded and now I am resting. Got 4 habernaro chicken burgers for supper tonight from A&W. Probably have 2 for supper, 1 for a bedtime snack and 1 for breakfast tomorrow.

Good morning, low temp 33 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind ESE 17 mph. Freezing rain warning for this morning. Areas where the temperature has already risen above freezing will experience straight rain. That would be me. There is also a high wind warning, high for us anyway. 40 gusting to 50...

Happy Birthday, Richs' wife.

Good morning, low temp is 16 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind ESE 3 mph. Snow mixed with ice pellets and a freezing rain warning possibly lasting all day. Nothing so far. It is a good thing I am not going anywhere. I heard Hydro One was out cutting trees again, I hope they got the one that was...

txdon, I found thisJ-MARK Trademark of ELECTRO SPECIALTY MANUFACTURING CO.. Serial Number: 72338902 :: Trademark Elite Trademarks

There you have it. The proper name for it is Labatts Pilsner. EVERYBODY just calls it 'blue'. Most people call Molsons Canadian just plain 'Canadian' and Molsons Export 'EX'. Molsons golden is just plain 'Golden'.

RNG, when I spent 3 months in Florida I drank more than my share of Bud. From the time the bar opened until it closed. Back in the '70s I was a beer drinker only. I could quaff down more than my share of Canadian beer, then I abruptly quit when Dad wanted me to drive him and Mom to Florida for...

PJ do you know how 'Blue' got its' name?

There are 24 bottles in a case. 12 in a suit case and 6 in a 5 miler.

Good morning, low temp is 6 and high to 32°F. Wind N 5 mph. Sunny! They are talking about freezing rain for tomorrow. If I don't post tomorrow morning it will because of the FR. The accountant called and I get a rebate on my income tax. So now to wait until CRA shells out my money. It should...

I get me an eye appointment for 8 April. This is a good thing because I am going to do my medical on the 22nd, maybe with the new glasses. The second cat gets castrated on the 4th May. I've put in my order for a Country clipper Z-turn mower. I told the guy that if he couldn't get me the cheaper...

Good morning, low temp is 3 and going to a high of 21°F. Wind NW 13 gusting to 20mph. 40% chance of flurries. From yesterday until now we've got about 1/2" of additional snow, not enough to plow, yet. It is too cold to work outside and way too cold to clean up the wood room of all the bark that...

Good morning, low temp 10 and going down to a high of 5°F. Wind NNW 13 mph. light snow flurries. So far we've got 1/4". As much as I like snow, I also like to see it gone. It has almost overstayed its' welcome. I was going to put the BH on next week, but I think I will wait until the end of...

Roy, that is an interesting fiddle that guy is playing.

Good morning, low temp 31 and going to a high of 36°F. Wind W 34 mph. Flurries or rain showers. 36 is the highest temperature forecast until next Tuesday when it will get to 37. I was debating with myself about putting the backhoe on the tractor next week. But, maybe not. Alien, my shoulders...

Good morning, low temp 32 and high to 37°F. Wind WSW 2 mph. Snow mixed with rain. 2cm/1" more or less. I'm up way too early, but with nothing 'pressing' I can always go back to bed for a nap later. The XLT mower is two steps higher than I wanted, the next one up from the cheapest has a Kohler...

alien, maybe I am biased BUT I already have a Kohler boat anchor and I don't want another one. The mower I am looking at has a Kawasaki engine and one handed speed and steering. This is what i want, but they aren't going to make any until June Avenue - Country Clipper Zero Turn Mower This is...

Good morning, low temp 32 and high to 41°F. Wind E 19 mph. Risk of ice pellets/freezing rain. 10cm/4". According to the radar map, most off the yellow and red will pass west of me, but it will pass right over where I would be going. I did hear something that sounded like freezing rain yesterday...

The weather people are still talking about snow/ice pellets overnight, they are suggesting 10 cm/4" and then above freezing tomorrow. Didn't get anything today so far. I missed my mid afternoon nap, was more interested in old British WW2 movies. Tomorrow is a town run and MAYBE go and buy a...

Good morning, low temp is 27 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind E 16 mph. Periods of snow mixed with ice pellets. None so far. I collected CPP (American SS) at age 60 one month before my 61st birthday. Got it retroactive back to my 60th birthday a lump sum payment and then regular monthly...

Happy Birthday, Sophie!

Good morning, low temp is 22 and the high will be 39°F. wind N 11 mph. Sunny! The next 4 days are gonna have some sort of precipitation. Wagtail, great minds think alike. We had baby sheep on Sunday. Just a leg, can't afford the whole thing for just the three of us. Fish, chips and mushy peas...

Good morning, low temp is 27 and the high to 37°F. Wind NW 11 mph. Sunny! Bye, bye snow. Hello mud. There is nothing 'pressing' for me today, so I will conserve energy. I have found with house cats that they will sort out the 'pecking order' themselves and eventually all get along. No need for...

Good morning, low temp 32 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind NW 11 mph. Periods of light snow. I likely won't do anything with that. Nothing 'pressing' today so I think I will conserve energy. Have a safe day all

There were two versions, one censored and one not.

I won't put the song on here that shot them to the hit parade as it is a little raunchy. The title is It's 40 below. They were a fairly good bar band out of the Medicine Hat area.

Good morning, temp 36 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind E 19 gusting to 25 mph. Periods of rain or snow. Good! That'll cut away the snow and ice we have. As much as I like the snow, I also like to see it gone. I took possession of this place in 1994, this past winter is the least snow we've had...

LS, I do NOT declaw my cats. Nope, never. When I definitely want them in a carrier I will scruff them. check, do you remember Showdown?

Well, we caught the grey kitten, but the orange one is hiding. :mad: One is better than none. I will give it a couple of weeks and then take the orange one to a 24 hour vet I know of. Might cost me more, but two or even one intact males is one too many around here. Of course, junior was told to...

Good morning, low temp 37 and a high of 41°F. Wind NNE 9 gusting to 19 mph. 30% chance of drizzle. Today is kitten castration day IF we can find them. They are in the house, somewhere. They only have 2800 square feet to hide in on two floors. After taking the kittens to the vet, the car will...

Good morning, low temperature is 40 and going to a high of 55.°F. Wind SSW 9 mph. 40% chance of showers. I have a fellow that has a maple bush, he and his son do the sap and they have an exclusive bunch of older folks that insist on dark maple syrup. I managed to get into this group. 1...

Good morning, low 30 high 45°F. Wind SW 14 mph. Mainly cloudy. It is about time we got some decent weather. Below freezing overnight and above freezing in the day time makes for good sap weather. I still have 2 gallons of syrup to use up and I am getting another gallon this year. Can't have too...

Good morning, low temp 14 and high to 41°F. Wind NNW 3 mph. Sunny! It is about time we came out of the deep freeze. alien, whatever you are doing to break your ribs, you had better STOP. Today is a conserve energy day. Have a safe day all

Good morning, low temp 22 and high to 30°F. Wind W 11 mph. Light snow. I've got about 2" so far and am torn about plowing or not. Temperatures are supposed to rise for the rest of the week. The next 5 days aren't supposed to get below freezing in the daytime. Still freezing at night, though...

Good morning, low temp is 13 and going to 25°F. Wind NW 21 gusting to 29 mph. Snow starting this afternoon. I wont plow the up and coming snow 'event' until tomorrow, sometime. Going to lay low today and go back down the you tube rabbit hole. Have a safe day all

Happy Birthday, Drew! roy, you are right about the dobro solo. Only about an inch of snow here, but tomorrow it is supposed to snow all day.

Good morning, low temp 13 and high 18°F. Wind W 9 gusting to 17 mph. 60% chance of flurries. Tomorrow we get snow, so they say. Got an inch of it yesterday. The fuel gauge on the tractor did something it hasn't done in a month...It moved from Full towards the 3/4 full mark. That is a 'win' for...

Good morning, low temp is 12 and going to a high of 27°F. Wind NNE 5 mph. Cloudy. Now that the US president has cut off all oil trade with Russia, maybe OPEC will step up their exports and we can get back to more reasonable fuel prices. I have a 'V' plow out on the scrap steel pile that was...

Well I got my incometax paperwork sent off to the accountant. $13.21 registered mail. I always send it registered IF I don't deliver it in person. I can't drive the 60 miles each way for that money now. Gas here was $1.956/Litre ($7.39/US gallon).:mad: Lou, how do you know your bear is a he, it...

Good morning, low temp is 16 and going to a high of 25°F. Wind W 7 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. A town run is in the cards for today. After that conserve energy. Income tax is all done up and ready to go to the accountant, I will mail it 'registered' today while I'm in town. Have a safe day all

mostly, you know if you stopped shaving you wouldn't have a blocked up drain from the shave cream AND wouldn't have the expense of blades either. Something to think about.

Good morning, low temp is 23 and high will be about 34°F. wind SSE 6 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Yesterdays plowing took an extra hour, because I had to replace one of the rear chains on the tractor. This chain had been on since 6 years or so. It was due. I will order a new set of rear chains...

IF you have access to an old 6 cylinder motor and its' crankshaft weld the crank to the motor and bury the motor in the ground. The crank shaft makes a good, almost indestructible post. The motor makes a good anchor for the post.

Good morning, low temp 11 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind NNW 8 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. I have 6" of snow to plow this morning, 'bout time. What ever happened to the 12" dumps we used to get? I miss them. mostly, I will be out of wood by the end of April for sure, but I have oil...

I take it to the dump. But other than brush, construction rubble, couches and mattresses I don't pay a red cent. Anything that will burn, I burn.

I pay zero for my garbage collection and NEVER have any complaints, either. :ROFLMAO:

Good morning, low temp is 26 and high to 25°F. Wind NNW 7 mph. Snow but so far none. They say 5 to 10 cm so we will either get a skiff or 5-10". Temperatures this week will not get above freezing. The sap will not be flowing here for a while. The wood pile is getting down, a WAG has it at...

The rain stopped about 2 P.M., just after I got done installing the fuel gauge and horn. It took 3 hours from checking oil in tractor to turning it around so the SW winds wouldn't be a factor, to turning it back around so I could plug it in. I cheated and used the wiring from the headlight...

Good morning, low temperature is 32 and the high going to 45°F. Wind SE 16 gusting to 25 mph. Freezing rain. As the temperature goes up the FR will change to straight rain. Better for me. My steel roof will be unloading today, sometime. There is only about a foot of snow on it. I might get...

That is what I meant, Roy. :giggle:

Roy, is burning the trash an option?

Good morning, low temp is 10 and going up to 28°F. Wind ESE 7 mph. 40% chance of flurries with a freezing rain warning. I am not sure what I will be doing today, but you can be guaranteed it wont be much. Have a safe day all

Albatross, the bird of the R.C.A.F. and R.A.F.

Good morning, low temp 4 and high to 25°F. Wind WSW 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Green Acres Homestead, it looks like you might get some snow today. (Red sky in the morning.) There are rumours that Ontario might be lifting the mask thing. But individual businesses can still demand them. The...

Your EGO probably needs some gas and a spark. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

riptides, until I looked closer at the picture, I thought the JDs were targets.

Good morning, low temp -1 going to a high of 12°F. Wind NNW 9 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. Plowing the driveway is first on the agenda, then a town run. Have a safe day all

You wouldn't know that was a sea can if you weren't told about it. Awesome job you've done.

Good morning, low temp 12 and high to 23°F. Wind NNE 2 mph. Periods of snow today and tonight. They say 2-4cm, which will translate into us receiving 2-4". I've got nothing planned for today, so I might get under the hood of the Jeep and see why it is idling at 1200 rpm. Probably the map sensor...

That could have been some toes were it not for the boots.

Good morning, low temp 11 going up to 27°F. Wind E 14 gusting to 21 mph. Snow. I don't know how much but the block heater is turned on. I will go out about 9 and check. North Bay trip highlight was getting a new battery in my 25 year watch. I got my 'gold watch' (25 years of service) 12 years...

That is so 1950s.

Good morning, low temp -14 going to a high of 16°F. Wind calm. Sunny! Snow tonight a couple of inches. Off to North Bay for the monthly shopping trip. About 7 stores including the gas station for some cheaper gas. Have a safe day all

Plowing done and daughter in law picked up at hospital. yet again she didn't wait for the Dr., but she had been there since last evening. Not really a vodka drinker any more. I used to be, but lost my taste for it after one too many hangovers. Ouzo, Drambuie, Kahlua or Bailys Irish cream, those...

good morning, low temp 24 and going down to 21°F. Wind W 13 mph. 30% chance of flurries. I will go out at 9 and scrape the 4" we got overnight and then probably off to Huntsville yet again. DIL went there by ambulance yesterday, they think she has newmonia. She is going to try and con them into...

It is going to be warm up here all week. Temps on the plus side of zero. BEF, as long as the shirt is ALL that she scratches. She does look contented.

Good morning, low temp -4 and a high forecast of 23°F. Wind SW 7 mph. 40% chance of flurries. Ya, I know, I am up way too early. Actually got up at 01:30 and just finished reading the 5 pages since I posted yesterday. Went to town on Tuesday, regular town run on Thursday and now I need to go...

Good morning, low 5 high 18°F. Wind ENE 13 gusting to 21 mph. 40% chance of snow. I was up to p at 02:30 hrs too. Stayed up and finished off a movie I started last night. The neighbour woman called at 3 P.M. yesterday complaining that she was stuck. Go out and fire up the tractor and off I go...

Good morning, low temp -4 and the high to 14°F. No wind. Sunny. 'Bout time. There was some strength in the sun yesterday, the snow that was accumulating on the door to the portable shelter was dripping on my neck as I walked around the bucket. (I back into the shelter every time I park the...

My plowing session only lasted 3 hours as usual. Under the inch of snow we got after it all stopped was about an inch of frozen rain/sleet. Hard pushing. It is all off to the sides of the driveway now and I am ready for the next winter event.

That goes for the HF 100 we use for surface treating. The AC cement comes into the terminal at about 320 +/-, then they make the HF 100 from it.

Good morning, low 2 high 10°F. No wind. Snow. The freezing rain/ice pellets stopped and changed over to snow. That, I can handle better. I had to learn metric system to US measure for work. I still don't know the temperature conversions, but lucky me, the weather station I use gives me the...

I would hazard a guess that they want to get rid of the gas in a hurry or they are starting a gas war. We've had gas wars up here and they are fun especially when the gas dips cheap enough. The last one the gas was .799 cents/imperial gallon, way back before Trudeau senior was the PM, he was...

daugen, the ounce of weight you lost was your beard. :ROFLMAO:

The DIL called first thing in the morning and said she had a ambulance ride to home. 1.5 hours later and she got bumped and she wanted to go home NOW! The drive down was a nice cloudy day, but the drive back up was almost all in freezing rain. Used almost a whole gallon and a half of windshield...

Good morning, low 7 high 19°F. Wind ENE 11 gusting to 20 mph. Ice pellets mixed with snow. So far....nothing. Might have to go to Huntsville, ON to pick up DIL, she went there in an ambulance last evening. Blood pressure was high and she forgot to take her pills yesterday. I will be really...

eric, you had better check your income tax laws BEFORE buying offshore stocks. I know in Canada if I buy stocks/bonds or whatever offshore (that is anything that is not Canadian) I get taxed dollar for dollar. $1.oo of dividends cost me $1.oo of tax and on upwards. :mad:

kenmbz, just for you:

Good morning, low temp is 24 and going down to 12 during the day. Wind N 16 gusting to 23 mph. Periods of snow last night, cloudy today and snow or ice pellets this evening and through Tuesday night. Total accumulation 15cm or more so that will translate to 15"+. IF we get the snow then I will...

JDZ, that is what I do. I haven't mowed since November and wont mow until probably mid April, maybe. Just spaced out a little in winter.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Good morning, low 5 high 30°F. Wind SSE 9 mph. Periods of snow. None yet. Yesterday morning after I posted I went back to bed for a couple of hours, got up and at 9:15 went out and fired up the tractor. The 2cm or about 3/4" turned out to be 6" of powdery snow. New neighbour across the street...

Hope your wife is O.K., buppies.

Good morning, low temp is 12°F and going down to 10. Wind ESE 16 mph. Snow. They say 5cm, by the time I get outside it will be 5". They say centimetres, we get inches. The International ISX engine needed a complete EGR system rebuilt last summer. On warranty and I ended up with a rental for...

My 'old' 2001 Freightliner with a C 15 Cat 475 hp turned upp to 500 got 4.5 miles to the Imperial gallon/ 5.4 miles to the US gallon pulling 139,000 lbs. My 2018 International with a Cummins ISX 550 hp, gets exactly the same as the cat hauling the same loads on the same roads, the only...

Good morning, low temp -1 and the high to 5°F. Wind N 17 gusting to 31 mph. A mix of sun and cloud for today. Tonight we will probably get 2-4" on top of the 2" we got overnight. Snow in the forecast for the rest of the week and into next week. Somehow I think I will get lots of seat time...

When I renew both my vehicles I do it online for two years at a time. The Dodge expires this year and the Jeep next year. No smog test, no safety, just shell out your hard earned scheckles. Eric, it looks like you are in for about 10 days of windy weather. Time to get your kite out. The only...

Good morning, low temp 32 and the high 32°F. Wind NNW 6 mph. Rain. There is only one driveway I am concerned about if the rain is of the freezing variety and that is mine. I have 5 buckets of ashes for the top of mine. A town run for today and a trip to Powassan for some carb cleaner to see...

We got some rain today and snow coming overnight. So they say. The ONLY new car I've had in my life was actually leased. Would I do that again? Not likely. The 2013 Dodge Journey is serving me as good as can be expected, me being the third owner. The '01 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) has a rotten frame...

Drew, if you want to quieten the whine in the rear end down, put a couple of bananas in it. Let the buyer beware.

Good morning, low temp is 13°F and high to 36. Wind SE 13 mph. 40% chance of flurries or showers. Up at 2 this morning, couldn't sleep. Probably have a nap this afternoon. My favourite Jag is the MK 10 Saloon. Day 2 after poke and I haven't grown an extra head and still have all my digits and...

Good morning, -2°F and going to a balmy 14. Wind N 6 mph. Sunny! I got my second alligatoritus poke yesterday and my left are is a bit sore, but so far other than that I feel fine. I haven't started growing a second head yet and I still have all my digits and limbs, unlike the kids that were...

Eric, according to Daily Mail you've got two storms coming your way. Current temp 0°F. Only going down to -11 tonight. We are slowly coming out of the deep freeze.

Don't give them any more bright ideas. :devilish:

Rng, back in 1979 I was hauling powdered cement from Brooks, Alberta to Medicine Hat, AB. Had to stop outside Redcliff, AB to put a makeshift weather front (oil case cut open and wired in place with coat hanger wire) on the tractor. Detroit Diesels don't make any heat IF they aren't...

Good morning, low temp -32°F and high going to 10. Wind NE 3 mph. 40% chance of flurries. We are slowly coming back up out of the deep freeze. I have a 15:40 appointment to get my second alligatoritus shot today and that is about all I am doing. Too cold to work outside with bare hands. Have...

Temperature right now -2°F and going down to -29. A little bit chilly tonight.

Sorry for your loss, BEF.

Good morning, low -15°F and going to a high of 1. Wind ENE 6 mph. Sunny. Somehow yesterday after I turned the remote on for the tractor block heater, it got shut off. I do have indicator lights outside but I hardly ever look at them after I turn it on. So the tractor wasn't as warm as it likes...

Thanks, I missed 'of' 3 times. :oops:

I've gone over it 4 or 5 times and still only count 3.:eek: At least I am normal.:giggle: Gonna be a little chilly here tonight...-20° F.

WHOOPEE! I am normal!

If you do that, then you are 'baiting' the deer and that up here is against the law. But IF you were to plant flowers near the outbuilding and the deer came in to eat them, then you are 'protecting' your flowers. :devilish:

No you know how to get deer near you during hunting season. No gun though, just a bow. Very silent. The possum cop will never hear the shot.

Good morning, low temp was -6°F and the high will be 1. Wind N 15 gusting to 28 mph. 60% chance of periods of light snow. Snowing cats and dogs right now. (You can say raining cats and dogs so why not snowing). The other morning when we got nothing in the way of snow there was a winter...

popgadget, if medical Mary Jane is available in your state you might want to look into that for the dog. I have heard that it works for epilepsy. Some people say I am a hermit, others say I am anti-social. I am not neither, but I sure hate stupid people. 4" of snow came on top of the 2" we...

Good morning, low temp is 24 and high to 36°F. Wind SSE 11 mph. Snow. They are talking 5 today and another 4 tonight. Ought to be interesting. Eric, if my forefathers hadn't emigrated here from Ireland in the mid 1800s, you wouldn't be reading this. 🤣 Population density of Parry Sound...

Plowing all done, now to the dump and town.

Good morning, low temp 31 and going to 27°F. Wind SSW 9 mph. Heavy snow. Snowing as I type. I WILL be plowing this morning and maybe this afternoon, depending on the accumulation. The newest customer is an East Indian fellow that lives in Brampton (he is an accountant), he bought the house for...

Good morning, low temp 18 and the high to 32°F. Wind ESE 13 mph. Flurries with a risk of freezing drizzle. Went out and checked on the Jeep yesterday morning and it had 12.46 volts in the battery. She fired right up, backed it out of the snow bank it was in, dropped the trailer (no lights) and...

Good morning, low temp is 25 and that is the high for today as well. Wind WSW 8 mph. Flurries. There is either flurries or snow in the forecast right up to Saturday afternoon. I didn't get to the fuel sender, nor the horn. Also didn't get the Jeep started. My get up and go, got up and went. A...

Good morning, low temp 22 and high to 25°F. wind ESE 9 mph. Flurries. The big storm we were supposed to get didn't happen. (n) Supposed to be another one later in the week. We will see. The battery on the Jeep is up to 90%, so I think it is charged enough to start the old girl now. As long as...

have you tried Fawcetts? They are in St. Marys, Ontario https://www.fawcett.cc/parts/parts-for-sale/

Good morning, low temp low 12 high to 23°F. Wind S 19 gusting to 24 mph. Snow. By the time it is all over tomorrow afternoon we should be getting about 15". YIPPEE! Today I will put the battery charger on the Jeep and see if I can get that working again, and fix the fuel gauge on the Kioti. The...

Rest in Peace, Callie. She will be waiting at the rainbow bridge for you, Rich. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special...

Good morning, low temp -14 and high to 7 °F on the plus side. Wind N 3 mph. Tonight is the fun side of winter, more snow on the way, tonight all day tomorrow and tomorrow night. We will see. A knock on the door yesterday brought me $20.oo and a job clearing out a driveway on the neighbours...

Paul Short is in Newfoundland. I've also dealt with him in the past. Bay Roberts I think is the town he is in. He is still in the phone book. If you want his phone number look it up.Paul Short, Con Bay Hwy, Bay Roberts, Newfoundland.

Good morning, low -10 and the high will be 3°F on the plus side. Wind NE 11 gusting to 17 mph. Sunny! Today and tomorrow they say it will be sunny, but tomorrow night we will pay for all the sunshine, more snow coming tomorrow night lasting through to Monday morning. I am slowly getting my tax...

I got the plowing done and it was so nice out that I tried to move the Jeep and trailer. Nope, battery flat. Got back from town and took my tester to the battery, 3.45 volts. No wonder the lights on the dash wouldn't light up. Battery charger on it now. I'll go out in a couple of hours and check...

Good morning, low temp 3 and going to a high of 10°F. Wind N 9 mph. Mostly cloudy and yet the visibility is 10 miles. I will be going out at 9AM and clean up the snow that came down over the past two days. After the clean up I'm going to town yet again. Regular gas is up to $1.64/Litre or...

Northern Ontario here, I just switched from 'time of use' pricing for Hydro-one to fixed rate residential-rural. As long as I use under 1,000 kwh/month I pay $0.092/kwh. Generally I use under the 1,000 hour mark. Oil furnace, wood furnace and wood space heater. Use the oil furnace when I go out...

After three years of fighting with the blower and getting stuck (ditches hide under snow banks) and having to get towed out and the blower getting jammed up with heavy wet crap, I changed to the FEL for plowing snow, with a back blade for windrowing it. That system works good for my needs.

Started snowing about 10 this morning and hasn't stopped yet. I should have about 4" or so to plow tomorrow, then sunny and cooler for the next three days. The mild temperatures got the foot and a half of snow on my steel roof moving downwards. The older cats aren't bothered about the freight...

My house insurance just informed me that my (steel) roof is over 15 years old and they will reduce the replacement cost by 30% to start and then 2%/year after that against wind and hail damage. It is 30 years old, so I got it figured out that they (the insurance shysters) will reduce the...

Good morning, low temp is 33 and the high? 30°F. Wind WSW 9 mph. Snow. They are calling for an inch, but we will see. I am up late this morning. Didn't get to bed until almost 1 AM. A town run today and pick up the new fuel gauge sending unit for the tractor. The North Bay trip was a piece...

Egon, Muhammad was about 18 when he started this site?

RNG, you can make your own beer and 'puffin stuff' is legal. Depending on the province you can grow your own legally.

Another PITA snow coming tomorrow. Dftodd, that was a good scam while it lasted. You could have gotten fake ID using your date of birth, social security number and a Canadian address. I think your SS number is in a group of 3 then 2 then 4. 9 digits, ours is the same number of digits broke up...

RNG, there ain't no nasty snakes up here. No alligators, No rattle snakes, no copperheads no coral snakes and no scorpions. We do get temperatures upwards to 100°F in late summer. It only gets down to almost -40°F occasionally in winter. (You acclimatize yourself for it, or hide inside). Your...

I voted 'NO', mainly because I like the site the way it is. Muhammad, it is your house, your rules. I never discuss politics or religion with anybody online or in person. You have yours and I have mine. I don't shove mine down your throat and I will NOT allow you to shove yours down my throat.

Good morning, low temp 14 and going to 30°F. Wind SE 13 mph. A few flurries. North Bay trip this morning, 8 stops. When I get back from that I may put the tire chain back on. The good thing is it is a front chain and not nearly as heavy as the rears. You guys posting the pics of your travels...

The North Bay trip didn't happen today, so I will go in the morning. Saw a big barred owl this afternoon and by the time I got the camera out it was gone. :( May get to see it tomorrow after the NB trip.

Good morning, low temp is 6 and going to a high of 16°F. Wind ENE 7 mph. 30% chance of flurries. More snow in the long range forecast. Off to North Bay this morning for the monthly shopping trip. daugen, when I used to blow the driveway, I would back drag the gravel driveway for the first few...

Good morning, low temp -1 and going up to 14°F. Wind calm. 30% chance of flurries. Another energy conservation day for me. Have a safe day all

PJ, wild rabbit is way better than supermarket rabbit.

Good morning, low temp is -20 and the high should be 7° above zero. Wind ENE 5 mph. Sunny! The wood stove is fed and I am not doing anything but feeding it until Junior gets up. 1 armload/hour. Today is another energy conservation day. Have a safe day all

The temperature this morning when I fired up the tractor was -15°F. I don't like working it when it is that cold, but the driveways must be plowed. She only gets about 2 hours of block heater time, then two cycles of glow plugs and 5 minutes of 1,000 rpm then another 5 minutes of 1,500. I...

Good morning, low temp is -14 and high going to 0°F. Wind N 8 mph. Sunny. I will scrape the couple of inches we got this morning. Then conserve energy. If I didn't have arthritis in both hands I wouldn't have the problem I do outside in the cooler temps. Have a safe day all

We got a couple of inches today/this evening. Now we are going back down into the deep freeze by American standards. ;) -15 overnight and 0°F tomorrow. As for what I wear outside in winter, jeans and a T-shirt under a flannel shirt and the coat is actually a lined flannel shirt and a French...

daugen, go south after your thanksgiving (avoid hurricane season) and return in time for easter. Miss all the cold weather up north. ;)

Good morning, low temp is 10 and going to a high of 23°F. Wind S 23 mph. Flurries and snow later in the day. I think I will plow this place this morning, then maybe again IF the snow stops before dark. There is a town run later today. Have a safe day all

Now why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

Good morning, low temp -21 and high to 12°F. Wind E 5 mph. Sunny. Roy, my mother and your mother must be related. I got that saying on a regular basis. DFTodd, I think your fox has a (rabies) problem. ron, goodbye? There is nothing going on that I know of so an energy conservation day...

A good electric blanket would help if no belly warmer available.

Good morning, low temp -4 and high to -2°F. Wind N 9 gusting to 17 mph. Sunny. Too cold to work outside so another energy conservation day today. Have a safe day all

Good morning, -2 and going to a high of 16°F. Wind SE 5 mph. 40% chance of flurries. A town run is in the cards for today and get the mail while I am at it. Roy, wish your wife a Happy Birthday from me. Have a safe day all

daugen, the 2nd pic in the center left, you can bet your bippy that is not a log, given where you are. :oops:

Good morning, low temp is -9 and the high will be 3°F. Wind NNW 8 mph. partly cloudy with 40% chance of flurries. I have to go out and scrape the 40% chance of flurries off the driveways from yesterday. All 4" of it. That will keep me busy for a couple of hours. The rest of the day will be...

You chickens will have a mid winter feast.

Good morning, low temp is 7 and going up to 19°F. Wind SSE 14 gusting to 20 mph. 40% chance of flurries. I was downstairs this morning waking up the wood furnace, when there came a knock at the door. Got the furnace going (I don't leave it until I see flame happening off the coals) and come to...

Good morning, low temp -17°F and the high will be all of 12. Wind SE 5 mph. Sunny. I go to bed anytime after 8 P.M., I have no idea when junior goes but in the morning there is always a good bed of coals to relight the wood furnace. No matches and fire starters necessary. Most of the time I...

Before Dad became the Toronto terminal passenger agent, he was on the ticket counter. Excited passenger runs up to the counter and asks the age old question, "what time does the 4 o'clock train leave"? Dads' answer :3:60

Good morning, low temp is -18°F and the high is going to -4. Wind NW 5 mph. Mainly sunny. I have a town run to do later today, then conserve energy. Back in the '50s, Dad had an all lines family pass through CPR (Canadian Pacific Railroad), we took the train to Miami a few times for Christmas...

LS, way back when I could have taken the Canadian to B.C. on an 'all services' pass and didn't. The same trip now would co$t me $5,000.oo. Aint gonna happen. :(

Where can I get me a pair of them gloves? What kind of insults do they throw out there?

Bird, I welcome the snow. It adds another layer of insulation to my water pipe coming in from the well. The pipe itself is only buried 48" under the grade, but I added 2" of blue styrofoam insulation to that all the way around. 1" of styrofoam is equal to 1' of ground cover. So in theory The...

Good morning, low temp 12 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind ESE 14 mph. Flurries. About 6" landed overnight, so I guess I will start plowing at 9 this morning. Block heater already turned on. Belated Happy Birthday RS! Something spooked those whitetails. After plowing, maybe put the other...

Just remember to put the em-phasis on the right si-lable. 🤣 :D

That heavy wet snow I call heart attack snow. That is one of the reasons I have the tractor to move snow. We've got another 5-10 coming tonight plus another 5 tomorrow. I just fueled up the tractor, it took 6.5 gallons. She needs a new fuel sending unit (the fuel gauge doesn't work).

Good morning, low -3 high to 1°F. Wind NW 9 mph. Sunny. I will go out at 9 and plow. Tractor block heater already turned on. A town run comes after plowing. Roy, I'll bet the driveway is under the snow, somewhere. 🤣 If you don't put sand/salt mix down then if you run on the lawn a bit, it...
