As of today, we are now on a 10 and 5 shift, I start 5 nights starting Tues, and then have 5 days off. It will be nice to finally have a schedule so I can plan ahead.

Regarding the weather, I waited outside this morning (5:50am) for the bus going to the mine, it was 20 minutes late, and it was -37 without the windchill!!!! I was almost in tears from the pain in my fngers and toes. I didn't warm up till around 10.

I am counting the days till spring!!!

I worked for Finning when Cow Harbour went into bankruptcy protection. Finning cut there credit off at 14Million owing in parts and labor.
I sure do not miss the waiting for the bus!!

At least we hope it`ll get warmer if those weather guessers are right for a change. It`ll make waiting for the bus a little more bearable.

It is a good day here, it`s Friday and it`s starting to warm up. It`s supposed to zero by Sunday!

It is a good morning here Steve, we`re still basking in the warmth 12°F and day time high`s near or above freezing. Too bad that`s going to end by this Sunday when the cold returns.
