Morning.

From what I have read here, you have a reputation, but the word "stellar" in front of it does somehow not jive.
Will not dream of touching that stuff you call ph00.

 

So you're responsible for Eric's mopey mood.

Morning folks. Red, with the cold nearly gone here firewood has dropped from $80 a load to $25 in some places.

 

Morning gents,

Rick, is a load a cord? Still getting $225.00 for a cord of hard wood up here.


Hows all the DTRonians today, I am very happy just cause I woke up, so bring it on world.

Spring time can not come fast enough, been in the teens at night. The one good thing about that is it freezes the melting at night and slows the run off from flooding.
Busy at the shop this week, we got the 35 ton boom all mounted up on the new chassis, then I had to do a front engine cover on one of our DT466's. Got that wrapped up now we will see what waits for me when I get there this morning.

Have a great day peoples.

 

Good day eh from up here.
Snowing again. Snowed all night. Where is spring? This is unusually late for this crud to be here still.

Supposed to be 34F today and then freezing rain and more snow tomorrow and plus 36. The trend is to be in the mid 40's by the wknd.

If all this snow melts fast, watch for me in the rivers because the flood risk is going to be extreme here.

I Turd the Ph00o. Need I say more?

 

Tim, down here it's a face cord, not a full cord, if you're lucky.

 

Is a cord 8ft wide by 4 ft high by 4 ft deep?
Its been awhile since I had to go and cut, split and season Birch. 30 plus yrs since I did that.

 

Scotty - I would start making sure your water wings are inflated. The big concern for flooding in eastern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba is when the plains, foothills and moutains all thaw at once. It is especially bad in years of unusual snow pack. Guess what we have in southern Alberta this year - 3rd most snow in 100 yrs. We are almost at April and there has been no appreciable melting yet. I am pretty safe in my prediction that over the next 4 weeks or so this stuff is going to melt and melt fast. I know that CP Rail is adjusting their schedules to get stuff east early as they are predicting flooding. I even found out yesterday that the Calgary STARS (air ambulance) is being shipped to eastern Alberta to be prepared to help when (not if) the flooding happens. I wonder if you should start installing a snorkel on your truck(s) so that you can still get around when all of eastern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan are under 3 or so ft of water?

 

Periscope is installed. This was our heaviest snowfall ever preceded by our heaviest rainfall ever. I know that the rail lines are moving product quickly because of anticipated washed out of rail lines. We lost a big piece of the Trans Canada last summer and could lose more roads and towns if the melt happens fast. Forecast is plus 6C here by the wknd and possibly 10C or 50F for next week. All the moisture in the ground has set the water table just below the surface and we all know what happens when this stuff evaporates...we get heavy rain again.
I have an extra sump pump here and will be installing it tomorrow.
I ordered oversize water wings today.
Ma Nature rules.

 

Correct. 30 years? Man you are old

 

Well looky here, Cincy found someone his own age to play with!

 

Whats happening merkin impersonator.

 

merkin?

 

Man, you are missing it - - he makes great ph00 - - its that big ?????? Canuck that messes it up. If you can get in before him, grab some - - ummmmmm, good. ...................

Speaking of flooding, we had 4 1/2" of rain in 36 hours. Yard sure needed it. About time. We are coming into the dry months. Then summer rains.

Work mostly done for the day so I can goof off. Planted some new stuff today to replace frozen ones. Orchids are going nuts. More rain tonight.

OK, replaced the tainted stuff from the big goofoff and it is good ph00 - - come and get it. And, big boy, leave it alone cause I ain't coming for more today - - so, let it be - - you won't be getting me and I am the one you try and harrass -- not anymore today - - so there. .......

Bobby

 

And I thought you were smart

 

Old and sort of spry.

You on the other hand...I'll let Rick and Scott address that.
