It's not the Great White sharks I keep a lookout for - it's the white pointers! (******* female sunbathers, to those not accustomed to the Australian vernacular).

Coldest winter I remember since 1994. I ran a fork lift outside and I only remember the year because a guy out in LA murdered his x-wife and boyfriend the same year.
We had handlebar snot mustaches by first break at 9 am. Our eyelashes were white frost and we warmed our hands by the exhaust. The Canadians truckers said we were cry babies. I kept thinking that winter "I should have listened to my mother".
I got a better job in July that year and never looked back.

It is 28 degrees here this morning, but will be close to 60 by the late afternoon. We took our three mile walk yesterday morning and was again 28 degrees when we started, but at the end was close to 45. Did work out in the shop and temp was about 50 degrees until ran base board heater. Wish you people would send us some moisture as we have had very little in the way of rainfall in over 120 days.

I planned on pulling the steering wheel and box out of the A this week so I could take it to the basement for a rebuild.
Mommy Nature and my wife had a different idea because it has been below 10 F every day except one that reached 17 F. That one warm day was when my wife wanted me to go shopping!

You guys just made me remember another one.
My Dad was a cement mason and he swore by heated concrete floors. To me it always seemed like more work and money than it was worth until I lived in a house that had it. Wow, the feeling of lying on that floor covered with carpet while I played with my baby daughter was awesome. It was so funny to see our pets sprawled out so every square inch could absorb that heat on a cold day.
The idea of lying on a heated concrete floor while working on my car makes all my arthritic bones tingle with desire. I have carpet in part of my garage, and it’s sort of weird to have to vacuum instead of sweep, but boy is it easier on my body.
Just thought I’d share,
Mike

I raced in a 24 hour motorcycle ice race in 50 below once. Everything broke. Steel chains shattered. Plastic fenders broke off. 2 stroke oil came out of the bottle like a thick greasy rope. When you stopped squeezing, it sucked back up into the bottle.
We had propane tank top heaters that we had to point at each other. Otherwise, the propane got too cold to flow. Every rider lost a little flesh somewhere. If Edmonton didn't have oil, I don't think anyone would live there.

Give you some pointers :
Salt water crocs love beach goers sleeping on beach;
Ogling (stare at in a lecherous manner) will get you confinement here with 'loving' roommate and without model a privileges
;Do not relocate to Socal as we are running out of water, rare A parts and sunny weather(climate change, eh)
!
