You`re lucky John, while -10 may not be all that cold it`s a shocker that I`m not ready so soon.
Thanks Steve, I couldn`t find my temperature conversion chart. When it`s -10 I have to be well dressed for it, especially after the sun sets.

If I had to shovel any amount of snow to shovel it would likely end my day fairly too John.
At least you won`t get this really nasty stuff:
''Michael becomes strongest hurricane to hit continental U.S. in 50 years, at least 6 killed''

So far it doesn`t sound like it`ll come near Steve or Shaun.

It must be fairly warm there John, not often it`s warm enough here in winter for packing snow very well.

Good to hear Ian. Is it dark in BC now? Since it`s dark here now I`m pretty well settled in for the evening.

I prepped the shop for the light cans that I have, had to get rid of a badly placed shelf and a couple of old light cans with bad ballasts. Had to take the ones that I have apart so that I can put them up and wire them and then reassemble them. May put up 6 tomorrow so that I have enough light to see what's happening when I break down the front end on the 48.

I certainly like the 4 ft LED`s I put in my shop last fall, the 300 watt incandescent light bulbs I had before gobbled up a lot more power while producing a lot less light. That $50 a light was a real bargin.

These are 32 watt 4 foot T8s that I picked up a few years ago, cheap but better than whats up there now, the ballast in 2 that I took down were starting to leak. If you leave a buggered ballast with power going through it they can melt and short out, possibly starting a fire. These old cans look like they're burned a bit or well over heated. The new LEDs are a bit pricey for me right now but I'll pick up a couple if they go on sale and replace these ones as I can afford it.
