Colin, that wind yesterday was brutal. We worked outside until about 3, that was all we could handle. Even had to turn on the furnace to supplement the wood stove for a couple nights now. I used to love winter, now I find myself looking forward to March already... If our temps were -10 for lows and had 4-5' of snow I would be very excited...

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm planning to get the roof on the addition.
Took me most of the days to get my fingers warmed up again. My daughter's class recited In Flanders Field for the service today and they all did great. The Legion here does a great job of keeping the kids involved with Remembrance Day and it is also active in their activities.

Morning all. Chilly and windy once again.

Colin, I admire the small towns for keeping kids involved in Canadian heritage. While we don't get involved in the community much, I am happy to say that the small school my daughter goes to still say the Lords Prayer in the morning, and she can sing Oh Canada word for word. Means a lot to me.

Have a great day everyone!!

Happy Chilly Hump Day mornin'all.
---A truck driver was driving along on the freeway and noticed a sign that read: Low Bridge Ahead. Before he knows it, the bridge is right in front of him and his truck gets wedged under it. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, 'Got stuck, huh?' The truck driver says, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and I ran out of gas.'

Good joke. What I like to tell me employees, "a question is dangerous for you and a burden for me."

A truck driver was sitting down in a small roadside diner, minding his own business, and having a plate of spaghetti and a beer.

Before long, about 30 of the nastiest, meanest looking bikers come roaring in to the parking lot and boisterously enter the diner -- taking over the tiny place. The macho leader notices the trucker in the corner and goes over to "mark the territory."

He starts giving the trucker a hard time, but the trucker is not to be provoked. Soon the leader is frustrated by the trucker's lack of response and he dumps the trucker's spaghetti plate right on his head.

The trucker is covered with noodles and sauce is dripping down his face. He tells the leader he doesn't want any trouble and cleans away the mess with a towel provided by the proprietor.

The leader is not done with his provocation -- he tells the trucker he's a lily-livered sissy and dumps the trucker's beer right in his lap.

The trucker shoots to his feet -- the room is silent. The bikers think they're finally gonna see some action -- but the trucker just saunters over to the cash register, settles the check and strides out the door.

A minute or two passes and the leader decides to have the last word, "That guy sure isn't much of a man!"

About 10 seconds of silence follow-- The silence is shattered by the sound of mangled metal and thewords of the diner proprietor...

"And he sure isn't much of a driver either. Looks like he just ran over all those Harley's in the parking lot!"

In the spirit of remembrance... In modern day we need to remember each and every day how fragile our freedom is...

One of my all time favorite tunes.

The whole idea of the older trucks is that these had to creature comforts and driver assist aids.
