A mini blizzard here, quite windy and -6°C, only about 6 cm of snow expected then -23° tomorrow night.
Your brother is lucky to have you to look after him Perry.
Getting any snow yet Grant?
That Alberta clipper is going to wack us too John.
Are you finally having a few days to yourself now Ian?

Years ago in my knee high to a tadpole days, a group called the Keystone Quartet came to our church and one of the songs they sang had a line in it that went " let me be a little meeker to the brother that is weaker". That line has always stuck with me as it can be applied to a lot of different scenarios in life. It's kind of strange that I hold on to it as I don't suffer fools and riff raff lightly and have a reputation for being strict because of that.

So, I went to look at a couch set, what a joke. Within 30 seconds it was obvious that the couches that I gave away were in a lot better condition than any of the 4 sets that he had. I told him so and the guy kept asking me which set I wanted, he even had his van doors open so that he could load up his pieces of crap. He only had 1 piece that was worth looking at but it was a lone chair. At the auction you'd be lucky to get $50 for any of his sets, let alone $600. So I guess its preview day tomorrow to see what they have.

This is Calgary Ian, these guys are used to dealing with cowboys, if its complete crap the cowboys will give you full stroke on it, if its rare and of value the cowboys think its crap that should be free. You would laugh at some of the bidding wars at the auction.

Perry the same here happens at car auctions.
If its junk its a bidding war.
If its a decent vehicle the bids are too low for what it is it seems.
I've only got to about 15 of them but its crazy.

Just got home from picking up a couch set, barely made it as the oil is blowing out of the bottom of the dipstick tube again and the alternator is soaked. It did this once before in the spring and it was fixed but the cold weather may have made my hose patch to cold to properly seal it.
