There was a head on truck accident just a few miles south of us this morning. I missed the news so not sure on the details.

Morning everyone!!

Collin, was the accident partly due to fog? We've been having heavy fog here the past few mornings. Sunday morning there was an accident close to Yorkton where a small car rear-ended a Highways plow. While the ERT was dealing with that accident, 2 other vehicles went ripping by at full highway speeds, over-reacted when they seen the accident scene last minute and ended up in the ditch themselves. I don't think any one was seriously hurt. I wish people would start using the portion of their brain that acts in the interest of self preservation and the safety of others.

Why can't people realize that the posted SPEED LIMIT is intended for premium road conditions? Not that it matters, how many people besides myself actually drive the speed limit? Not 110 km/h, 100km/h. I used to speed, when I had sportbikes I am ashamed to say that I've been in excess of 3x the posted speed limit on any Sask highways. Am I proud of it? NO. Did I calculate the risk to myself and others at the time? Yes, but I did it when there was no oncoming traffic (most of the time), and I didn't have dependents at the time. Still doesn't make it right.

To the young lady who passed me last week in a mustang, on icy roads, I hope your stupidity does not cost you the life of your young child, who I must add, was improperly restrained in the front seat of your car.

Moving on...

This weather is incredible. Supposed to be +5 on Monday?? Sure beats the snot out of the winter we had last year. Keep it coming Mr Weather-Maker!!!

Have a great day guys!!!

What an awesome day, if every winter day was like this I could learn to really like it!
I`m glad it turned out well balanced John, when I had mine on a rotisserie the way it was mounted it would tip to one side.
Bummer on the head on truck accident Colin, seems there has been too many lately. Congratulations on the combine.

Morning Fellas...and another beauty it is.

Nice Combine Collin!! Is it all loaded up with the GPS/Autosteer systems and such?

Makes me laugh how we are excited about 38*F weather, JWC says it's going to be cool for a bit at 40*F Hows the employment scene in Tennessee?

John, that wind must be howling down there!!!

Have a great day everyone, is your partner back yet Morris? Did she bring you a nice tan?

Where the eff is Gerry?

Morning all. Been on the road for a few days.

Looks like snowmobiling season is coming to a quick end.
