frozen fingers and an axe

[Murray Campbell]

for your amusement and perhaps my moral support...28 below today (no i'm not in victoria now, and thats i think 19 F below for you folks south of the border)

there is a log on blocks out in the snow and i have been working at hewing a square beam out of it, centered on the pith, for a boom spar...once past the chainsaw and axe stage i'll be able to haul it in the shop and get to 8 and 16 siding it with planes and power planer

just came in to thaw the icicles off my beard and leave this cautionary tale for readers considering boating as a lifestyle choice

Hmm - it was 32 C here today - just like yesterday, and last week, and the week before. It gets down to 24 C at night, so I wake up and have to pull a sheet over me (brrrr.. smile.gif )

On balance I'd have to say that the tropics have a lot to recommend them :cool:

Geez, I thought I was going to read about severed fingers. A pleasant 36C here today - shorts and no shirt weather.

I managed to punch out a 4-53 Detroit Diesel motor today - but lost the fight. A spanner slipped and I hit a hose clamp. Lots of blood and three stitches.

Cold and snowy on the North Coast today. It's gonna get colder before it gets warmer.

50 right now, with single digits by Thursday. I guess it's about time to put the Ice Eater overboard. :(

The humidity's bad and the mosquitos will carry you away if you let your guard down, but it is 77 (f) today tongue.gif

It was 73 F here at noon and we ate out on the porch. They had to turn on the AC at churh this AM.
