Contributing Member fredk Posted January 20, 2024 Contributing Member Report Posted January 20, 2024 I feel privileged that we get our mail pushed through a letter-slot in our main door. The postie is legally obliged to put the mail through the letter box. Our posties are still wearing shorts and light-weight jackets. My postie this morning was wearing a light waterproof jacket only cos it was teeming down Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 20, 2024 Members Report Posted January 20, 2024 Rub it in, Fred, rub it in! Last night was the coldest night of the years so far - minus 18 C ( 0 F.) And that's nothing compared to temps in the west, where it's been -40 ! Woke to light snow, which has now stopped, and we're actually getting some weak, watery sunlight shining through the gloom.

Members MarlinDave Posted January 20, 2024 Members Report Posted January 20, 2024 I would not care except I have some bills due. If they don't pick up today I need to go get them out of the mailbox and deliver them after the thaw. Bill payments are taking 8-10 days without weather issues lately to deliver. I ordered a jump drive from Woodcraft that should arrive soon. It has 13 years of digital Woodcraft magazine for $20. Might keep me occupied till the roads clear. Quote

We had a 4-6 inch snow, a lot here, not much for other areas. Still cold so it can’t melt after about 6 days. Mail is not running at all. I don’t ever remember this happening, and a lot worse snows other places I’ve lived. My uncle was our mailman as a kid, had an old 72 Blazer, nothing stopped him. lol as long as the roads are open to get the mail here in town they deliver it. Last year the interstate was closed about 80 days this year only two or three. They use these small jeep looking trucks and put on snow chains when needed.

Members Handstitched Posted April 8, 2024 Members Report Posted April 8, 2024 @chuck123wapati Hwy Chuck, good to see you're 'baaaaack' Just a quick update, I'm having all sorts of issues with ISP's , 'pooters' and 'teknolagee' atm . ( have a look at 'Pet Peeves' thread) Using public access pooters atm so I won't be on as much as I used to, not for a while at least. Thats the disadvantage of living in the bush. Haven't done much cooking lately either, other than the usual plain ol boring evening meals . All the best, HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '

Members Sheilajeanne Posted April 8, 2024 Members Report Posted April 8, 2024 (edited) Today is eclipse day, and we're supposed to get 99% coverage of the sun. Yeah - woke up to a totally overcast sky, and can't even tell where the sun is... [grumble!] Ah, well, guess that would qualify as a first world problem to most people! And no, I have no plans to drive anywhere to get a better view of it. According to the weather map, that would mean either driving south of the border, or almost as far east as Quebec! Edit: Welcome back, Chuck! Glad you are doing well! Edited April 8, 2024 by Sheilajeanne Quote

I also put together an eclipse kit ..... Quote
