I think this is turning into the Sean and Blake breakroom. This might actually make sense since Blake is building pipelines and I work for one of the biggest Canadian pipelines companies. Not the Keystone XL company BTW.

Wouldnt mind gettin a spot on the XL line but Shell may have us booked up here for a while.
New development in the winter work now. It will proceed but skeleton crew. Want us to rotate one month on, one off till April. I can, but man there goes the fat lil savings I had going....
Just when you start to get in the clear.
Of course there is a chance the work will be heavy enough to keep us all busy. We will just have to wait it out and see.

Polaraco - that snow is just uncalled for. It is still October. I feel for you. I have no doubt our turn is coming in Western Canada, but for now this is about you. Any chance you could send that stuff to Madhat or Shorts? Maybe Blake could build a pipeline for snowballs.....
Catch!
I would but he's older than I am! The rest are just lazy and I need a translator
Oh my goodness, gang - - - what is all that white stuff on the ground? Tell me a guy blowing insulation in the attic next door had defective equipment. Man, it is still October. It was 81 here today - - had some light rain this morning then cleared up this afternoon. Lunch on the lanai was wonderful. Sure glad we got home when we did. We had snow in the mountains in Santa Fe, NM the day we drove out - - DW's comment was "think it is time to head for home."

You wait. You haven't seen anything yet. You'll get what they call lake effect snow. Comes off the great lakes. The roads look like they do up in the north country. 10 foot snow banks.
I pulled out a couple of stitches. . . My head is bleeding and won't stop. Waiting for my daughter to come over to stitch me back up. She's not overly pleased with me right now. . . I'd pick her up, but my truck lost 2 injectors and it's at the dealers.
Speaking of the devil. . . Later

Well folks, it looks like it is left to someone in the west to shut things down for the night. I tucked in the dragon under his blankie, turned down the flame under the ph00, ground fresh beans and filled the water in the percolator for the morning crew. I topped up the oil in the lamp and turned down the wick. Finally, I put another shovel of coal in the stove. Whoever is up first in the morning, start a new breakroom, start the percolator coffee, turn up the flame on the ph00, put more coal in the stove and most importantly of all, put the bacon in the cast iron skillet on the stove. If you are particularly motivated in the morning, grits and gravy/biscuits would be really nice for breakfast. I like my eggs sunny side up and a little runny. Rooster juice = mmmmmm.
