Well It's that time of year again!
Funny in the province of Quebec you must have snow tires, It's the Law!
Didn't look like they were working this morning.

ROLF, but no tyre will slow you down much if you lock the wheels and keep the break pedal down. Shouldn't laugh but those slow-mo snow skids, did it once as a teenager it is almost like you could get out the car and run in front of it.
Dayum, the city officials need to pass legislation to turn off gravity on that hill during icey conditions.
I was on my way to school one winter day about two weeks after I got my license, right at the end of February. I was stopped in a line of traffic and the car, a '64 Bonneville convertible, slid sideways down the crown of the road into the curb. I shut it off, got out, locked it up and walked the rest of the way.
I'm feeling really good this morning, wow! No pain! Yesterday was a good day too! Unusual for me, with my chronic aliments I seldom wake up feeling good anymore and good days just don't run in tandem, yup I think it's the Christmas Spirit.
So while I'm feeling giddy I want to wish all my friends here an early Merry Christmas and hope too spread the joy, remember how excited you felt as a kid this time of year? I pray the Christmas Spirit has already bitten you and your feeling the joy. I hope you can spend time with everyone you love, give them a hug and tell them you love them this Christmas, it's so important!Yesterday, on my honey-do list I had instructions to drop off gifts to our local bank where they have a tree with names of kids in need, my wife and daughter always buy gifts for them. So I made a trip to town, while out I stopped by WalMart to pick up my favorite Christmas time cookie, Archway Cashew Nougat (Link Below) they are only made during the season, hard to find, sell out fast and oh so good! When I pulled in I found the Red Cross folks were out ringing the bell in the cold, I dropped my donation in the bucket, wished them a Merry Christmas. Next a trip to Dunkin Donuts for salted caramel hot chocolate that I love so much, I picked up three, one for me and one for each of the two Red Cross bell ringers, I swung back by, dropped off the cocoa and a box of the cookies, they were happy to have a hot drink. On the way home I was sipping on my cocoa, nibbling the cookies while listing to old time classic Christmas music from back in the/my day, fully in the spirit and feeling so happy when it suddenly hit me where I was a year ago. I thought, Wow, my wife is right when she says, a year from now this won't matter, she's right, but a we also never know if we'll be here a year from now. A year ago I was in the early stages of my daily radiation treatments, I feel so blessed and so lucky to be here. This Christmas is going to be special, it's nice to see my family really into the Christmas spirit, the smiles of their faces instead of worry and fear like last Christmas.
Hey, Have a Merry Christmas and Carpe diem!!! Ho ho ho!

Thanks and Merry Christmas Mike! Thank You for all you've done over the last couple years. I'm not speaking just about the co-op's, your friendship and words of encouragement during that time, as well as from all of my other good friends here meant so much to me.
Glad you are feeling good & in the Spirit of the Season Slick!
Happy Holidays to You and Yours. Enjoy!

Yup, doing that this morning while enjoying cups of joe and vaping fresh coils/wicks. Heading out to the shop soon, got some welding and tinkering to finish up, the shop also needs a good cleaning and overhaul. Yesterday I had three tanks of propane filled for my three heaters, I can keep it nice and warm out there. Along with my new LED lighting it's now it's even more of a joy to work out there, I was out there until late last night tinkiing with Christmas music on the stereo. During the holiday sales the last couple weeks I snagged four LED shop lights at a great price, I had eight of the old florescent double bulb shop lights that don't want to come on in the cold, flicker, always need tinkering and have never given out good light. Replacing just four of them with these LED's really made a HUGE difference, almost too bright! And they come on instantly no matter how cold it is! I got the last two ACE hardware had for had for $25 each, then a week later I found two more at True Value for $29 each, same exact light. Nice lights, nice features, look well made, clean white (like sunlight) light, just hope they last. I'll keep an eye out, I'm sure they'll be on sale again at some point. Metalux LED Shop Light, 43-In.: Model# 4SHPLD3240R | True Value
