Wore shorts & tee while out today...yes, I wore a fleece vest over the tee, but still great to meet a younger chap in tee & shorts at the market.

We are almost done with winter - we hope (he & I said).

There is a lot of ice on the lower Fraser River...but not solid.

7 C today with rain coming overnight.  A 'Pineapple Express' (typically said to originate near the Hawaiian Islands) from the western Pacific/Philipines, bringing subtropical warm air & moisture.

Big flush on the coast!  Unfortunately likely snow inland.

News report:
"As you may have seen on the news,  it's been very cold in B C .
So cold, in fact,that the Government of BC has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear
the Fraser River for freighter traffic. The Icebreaker is starting near Vancouver
and working its way northward.  Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking
begins. Impressive!  Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Fraser River:

Several days of heavy rain in the forecast...transition day could see snow, freezing rain in some areas.  Thereafter, flooding.

Lots of cranberry sauce can give you red ones and lots of eggnog can get you yellow...hot chocolate produces brown ones. :)

My Natural Gas furnace was installed in the garage Friday last.  Now have a very different work space.  First up, finishing 2 sets of Wood for Countryman projects...my 1961 & my MMEMW 2014 co-driver's 1964.

Edited to report it is an EMPIRE direct vent, wall mount...built in America by a company more than 100 years old!

Been really cold for us around Seattle the last week or so.  Around 19F (~-8C I think) in the mornings at the front door.  "Morning" for me is 9am when I get up to let the dogs out and feed the daughter.  The other night I went in the garage when I got home from work and it was noticeably warmer than outside.....  at 34F/1C 


Sad thing is, I wear shorts year round.  People think I am crazy, but I love the cold.  Anything colder than 20F/-5C is a little too cold and just not safe though, also if I was going to spend an extended period of time outside I would put longer pants on too.  But the walk from the car to the workplace, who cares

No I wasn't Dan....but I know several guys who were. You think the MSM covered for Kennedy?????.... Next MM we meet I can fill you in on some stuff. :)

They did say that Hill duty was very trying.... cold in the winter, hot and humid as hell in the summer. Had 3 Serges to wear. After an hour of two it was soaked and smelly. Take break, change...and repeat. Standing for 8-10 hours a shift can be very fatiguing. Dealing with some tourists....."priceless".

Years ago, when we didn't need much security around Parliament Hill, RCMP members were assigned to the Hill in dress scarlet uniform mostly for the benefit of tourists' photo ops. They used to say, guys got assigned to the Hill when they did something to annoy their supervisors.

Back then, one could drive up onto the Hill and even park there on weekends. Nowadays, not a chance. If you are somewhere you shouldn't be, you just might see a laser pointer dot near you, aimed from a security camera somewhere. "Smile for the camera!"

-8 C here today Sean...and I'm still paying literally for the cheeky smugness offered almost a month ago.

Natural Gas furnace being installed on Friday, so 2 sets of Countryman wood can be finished & my Countryman can be assembled.

Minerva, too bad your post was in 2017, if it were posted in 2016 it would have won the best "tongue in cheek" post of the year

So now it begs the question: Just who is our Prime Ministers real biological father, 1/Pierre Elliot Trudeau ? 2/Mick Jagger ? 3/Fidel Castro? Any other candidates ???
