Dad has a tendency to do something half way and not finish it until he needed it yesterday. Like last winter we started installing a double barrel furnace in the shop. It was freakin freezing in there last year. It sat all summer while I kept bugging dad "Hey why don't we duct in that heater while it's still warm out." It was totally done except putting in the ducting from the top of the barrel to the already existing chimney pipe sticking through the ceiling. It was a freakin COLD day in November before we finally got it hooked in. I think it will probably be after our 2nd storm of next year before we get another plow truck. Unfortunately. Hopefully not.
Of course it's gonna snow the damn temp housing is supposed to be here on Wed

gday everyone,
havin't been here for a while, but while all you guys are freezing victoria is at the start of a heat wave that has not been seen since 1908, as i write this its 2.20pm and my temp guage is on 39.8c and rising, about 3.30-4 is the hottest part of the day here.
then for the rest of the week they have forcast 40+c with about 45c on thursday.
i wish i could send some burning sun your way and melt some of that snow for you all

Thank you all of you!!!

Even though some of us have been a little dissatisfied lately I still come back to this site the most because of these sentiments and genuine offers of help, even if it is just a shoulder to lean on or an ear to bent.

Agreed

Well, off to bed. Still trying to get some extra rest in.

Oh, and Cris. We finally got the snowmobile running a couple weeks ago. Between me, my friend, his neighbor, his friend. Geesh! But running like a raped ape again. Woohoo. I was so sick of looking at that thing. haha

Night all!!
