It`s a bit slippery around here but not too bad if one is careful. It`s cold but at least no fresh snow to add to our troubles.

The fresh snow gives my ground grips some traction. Not to eventful a trip and I made it 40 minutes early, good thing I left early

A short but productive day so far, picked up some treats for myself, shoveled 6 - 8" of snow and have a pocket full of cash for my road trip.





The signal lights are red LED






If it keeps snowing I'll have a set of Fortress walls, its starting to snow again.

In places the snow is hard packed and glazed over so it`s slippery in on some of the city streets. Looks like Calgary really got whacked. You need a Chinook to get rid of it if it keeps snowing.
LED`s are neat, I changed my one shop over and I ordered 5 more LED lights for my other shop.

I picked up some LED light bulbs for the house and found them bright enough that my double bulb ceiling lights are single bulb and am only using 4 bulbs in my bathroom bar . Costco has 5 bulb packs and I've bought 3 packs so far, the savings should show up on my next utility bill, really want to keep the worst month under $300.

We have replaced all our light bulbs in the house with LED`s, I loved finding them on sale. The laundry room has a motion sensor since it`s easy to forget about turning the light off.
I bought 5 of my shop lights at Costco before they quit selling them, now Peavey Mart has a real good sale on them.

I think it`s hard to actually see any saving.....you just have to believe the advertising claims.
I just like the nicer white light from LED`s.

I was just looking at the princess auto catalog and its $75 for the LED fixture, I've already have a dozen 4' flourescent fixtures so that change over may not happen for a while, (LED tubes John). These bulbs seem a lot brighter than the 60 watt ones they replaced, installed 14 removed 20 regular bulbs.
