Glad I'm not the only one thinking so Morris. I am going to ask our union and our human resources representitives what they think about the situation tomorrow morning. Problem with working nights is I get to work when everyone is gone and I leave as everyone is getting here so it takes me so much longer to hear the answers.

Morning all 
She's a windy one this morning.
Should I ask
I've had this stuff forever. Can't ever seem to let stuff go. Why, I don't know. But it felt good to get rid of some of it
Well i'll say this Randy. There isn't too many 22 year old guys doing as well as you nor at the same level in their trade as you. Fair, doesn't seem like it to me. BUT, I for one know if there is anyone who can do the test in 3 weeks and still do well on it, it's you. No doubt in my mind
I'm terribly sorry to hear of your grandfathers passing bud. My condolances to you and your family during this rough time. Wish you a safe trip to BC.

Too bad about all the fatality happening lately.
I hear ya, wifes co-worker had a female friend pass from a sled accident yesterday. Too much!
So I'm a little ticked off at my supervisor and our head training supervisor. My grandfather just passed away and due to some of my step cousins (grandfather was married into our family in 1990, I was born in 1991 so he is my grandpa) getting married in BC the funeral is being held on the 18th. Now I'm supposed to be starting my last level of our electrical training, its our competency based training (cbt), on the 18th. What it is about is all the electrical equipment that we deal with at Manitoba Hydro. The problem is that it pertains to the guys that work down south, for the guys that work in Gillam we never see this equipment and they expect us to read a manual and fix the equipment that we have never seen before. Ok, no biggy. I've pass three levels of this, now on my last one, not a big deal. But now because the funeral starts on the same day I'm supposed to start my training, I get the week off (because Monday is a holiday), I'm expected to finish this training in three weeks instead of the four that we originally have. Do you guys think thats fare? I kind of think I'm being punished for going to my grandpa's funeral, who I never got to say goodbye to! Sorry for the rant I just needed to get this off my back.

I got those from a neighbor in mmmmm maybe 80-82 and he said they were old. Mr.Walters. Great guy. Used to blow glass sculptures ect ect. I was only in his garage a couple times cause it was too dangerous. Big kiln going whenever he was in there. Interesting fella. I looked around on-line at some of them but can't pinpoint a name. Sure with I had the boxes for them. Can't believe what just a box is going for.
At the Yami ride the other day, Jamie (holds the events with his truck/trailer) does alot of fly fishing. He's from BC. Showed me a few pics of his lures that he makes from scratch so it's hard to say if these were just one off's or not........

I got woke up at three AM to the emergence weather radio's siren going off. Only got about 2 inches of snow but calling for a "Winter Storm".
Sounds like High winds, Lighting and more snow. Sounds about normal to me. Bring it on and get it out of your system Mr Winter. We are so ready.

Don't know how one would see it with it snowing sideways anyways.
