I`m mostly window shopping since I`m well stocked up on tools, shop supplies plus welding supplies including rods, wire and grinding discs.
I can't remember how long after cataract surgery my wife was driving again, it didn`t seem like long.
Donna came as a stray about 3 weeks ago so I don't really know how old she is, likely less than a year old.

I picked up Sally from a girl who had twin cats but one was all black and the other was all white, Sally looks like a 9lb black squirrel.

Frankie came flying over Tamara's fence and managed to find my outstretched hand to land in. Guess she had scratched this Wayne Cater junkie and he had thrown her while cursing at her, tough guy, hurt by a 6 week old kitten.

Rob is the 2nd person I know who's had cataract surgery this year, has another eye to do in a few months. Most of the sales stuff I was looking for wasn't in stock at this store so that ended my shopping urge, the snap ring pliers were a must have. Have most of the supplies I need, just like to have lots in stock so that I don't need to shut down my day and that way I can stick with buying sales stock

Good day folks, another day living in the Arctic Vortex.
Sally sounds like a very unique cat.
Cataract surgery done on one eye first and then the other, I thought it would be nice to get it over with in one shot but that's not how it works.
If a sale item isn't in stock I will try for a rain check, I`m still waiting on a rain check from Canadian Tire for dog food.

Good morning, -21 with light snow
Sally is the boss cat in this place, sure has a thick coat this time of year as she's a medium length hair cat.
Never do rain checks as I shop at auctions also, plus I keep enough stock on hand that its rare that I run out of supplies. My next expense is these 2 cranes as I want to have a ram and cable system so it means its time to hunt for used engine hoists with buggered casters and hand cranks with cables plus some cast iron pulleys to run cables.
Canadian tire can have some good pet food sales, the one that I go to is across the street from the Drs. office and drug store plus theres a Walmart in the mall.
If they did both eyes at once you would probably be pretty much blind for 3 weeks, could be painful, lol

-17°C and no fresh snow for a while now, the ground is barely white.
Peavey Mart used to have decent sales on dog food sales, not so lately.

That didn't take long, 15 minutes for the fingers to get cold. In a half hour I'll sweep the neighbors front walk, I need to maintain a certain level of activity so it gets done so that I can stay in shape, lucky neighbor lol

Good morning folks.
I find that even 15 minutes for frozen fingers and other body parts is a stretch with the windchill.

It`s a good day to spend inside with popcorn watching movies, when it's this cold and dreary outside.

Good morning
Next weeks forecast is all over the place and does some major changes every 8 hours.
Siggurd got back late last night so I'll find out what his trips to Vancouver were like in the next day or 2
Appears our part of the cold is going to let up
