Well that's done and if its the type of day that's predicted I'll be spending the day sorting and putting tools into the big tool box and that'll help make some space in the shop.

Hey Grant, yes the company I work for pays 4 hrs a day for snow/weather days, we're lucky

Nothing like playing in the shop Perry. I like my new mini air reel for my small air compressor, better than fighting with the plastic coiled hose.
There`s a shortage of school bus drivers around here too Gerry.

Good afternoon all
Today was our cold day for this latest spell of winter, the ground out here is pretty warm and we're still getting melting at -10 which is good as there's snow in the forecast. Next week is supposed to be the start of the big thaw.
If I was a bus driver there would probably be a few kids walking until they learned to smarten up. lol

All too true Gerry!


It`s quite cold here too Perry, -23 tonight plus windchill. We`ve had melting so there`s large ice ponds between the snow plies in my yard. Hopefully next week brings milder temps but the weather guessers said it`ll be May before it might warm up to normal.

Hello Grant, sounds like your ready for the weekend after a busy week.
Is it getting any warmer where you are Gerry? Still very cold here.
I just can`t see a truck load reno materials being nearly as exciting as truck parts.
