The warm spell comes back again next week and we'll have most days 3 to 8 above freezing, the weather in this town is pretty good for weather wimps and anyone with a heart or lung condition.

I had a small siding job to do that stretched into a variety of other small jobs around her place and today I finish up at her place. I only work 5 to 6 hours a day when I'm working of yard so these small jobs take a bit longer to do which is why I only work locally. There's another job that I'm looking at today or tomorrow and its mostly indoor work, once that is done I'm back to working on my place. These little jobs were well timed as the last 2 months were a nickel and dime financial drain and this will keep some $ in the bank.

If you don't include the part where I'm about to go outside at -10 and with snow falling to change a pair of front tires and install a dead bolt lock on a shed door with no holes, yeah life is but a breeze. Lol.

Kind of like cutting Allen blocks with a wet saw using an antifreeze mix at minus to much in order to build a 3 meter high x 800 meter long sound barrier wall. 1 of the reasons that I don't work full time anymore Steve.

A chilly day here with a -13 °C but feels like -23. A good thing it's a bit warmer tomorrow for the auction sale.

Hello John, how did your day go, were you working on your truck?
The windchill was up all day here, not a day to be lurking outside for long.
