Sure would be nice if this weatherman would get it right, -10 with a 1/4" of frost at 1pm isn't -3 and sunny.

Congratulatons on getting more work brother. I've heard people say that saskatchewan isn't so bad, but I don't want to risk it, I hardly ever go easy of strathmore . . . .

My youngest is sick again. Doesn't appear to be anything serious, but still, what is with kids? really hoping I can stay healthy, I just don't feel like being sick. I always find December depressing, but that would be just one thing too many, ya know?

New spark plugs in the truck, and now my turbo seems louder? That doesn't make any sense to me, maybe something got disconnected?

+14 sounds pretty survivable . . . you got room for a few more?

Well down here in the South it has been great we have been on the plus side of the thermometer most days now if the rest of this snow would run away as well.
Christmas is supposed to be beautiful though.

Some new spark plugs in the truck and now, it seems quite a bit louder. The turbo whistle is much more pronounced. My wife even mentioned it. What the hell? Seems impossible for plugs to make that difference.

New plugs, burning fuel better, maybe not getting enough air. It's dusty in this town especially with the sand and salt dust and I'm always cleaning my air filter. My intake gets noisy when the filter gets the least bit dirty actually it's dusty.

Decided to do something different with the turkey this year, it's getting marinated. I'm having an open house and everyone is a bit sick of the standard bird. I'm taking off the drums and going spicy on them, cutting the bird in half and going apricot jam, apple ant mint jelly on one side and curried on the other. Using 2 roasters and a loaf pan to bake it. Should be a different turkey experience for a change. Hoping to get a video of the cat's opening their santa claus special, it was pretty funny last year. Have a Hari Hannukah Christmas y'all. har har har
