Merry Christmas from Thetis Island, BC. Maybe the 4th or 5th actual White Christmas we have seen here in the last 5 decades.

Thanks Mike and same to you. Light snow all day in Nanaimo but Chemainus is clear right now. About 1 degree so maybe CHEK’s prognostication for today will be off.
Merry Christmas to the whole group. I wish the best to each of you and all of your families.
My life has gotten to be very busy this December. My garage project is basically at a stand still. Putting on approx. 5000kms a month between Calgary and Canmore. This cold wintery snap is not helping. I'm still very grateful for being allowed to "hang" with with some of the best guys around.

Merry Christmas from -38 Saskatchewan.
At least it's a dry cold blah blah blah...
Spent 4 hours at the vet today with a client's dog.
Reason number 275 why we're retiring but came home to the best turkey I've ever had.
First time we've ever spatchcocked one and it was a winner.
Hope you all already have what you need and can look forward to what you want.

And here I thought -28 was getting a little severe
@David_R8, Clause was really good to me yesterday brought me a new rubber tip with hole in the bottom so I can engage my ice grabber and won't end up on my face along with broken bones.
Take care and shake that nasty cold quickly.

Ohh man Civil War sites have been my "bucket list" forever...Lets do a little "then and now" comparison to the 5200 rounds.
Then....powder was 20 cents a pound and those guns they would have been using probably used 6 lbs each shot so a total of $6,240 plus the projectile's (prob 20 lb'ers) at .85 each ( I have a reprint record of all the cannon ammo purchased by both armies) so another $4,420 totaling $10,660.
Now.....BP is trading at $75.00 lb so at the same 6 lbs per shot $390,000. Simple exploding Projectiles now are $ 7000 each ( sophisticated electronic controlled can easily exceed $150,000 each) so another$36,400,000 totaling 36,790,000 to capture the same fort.
