I love all of this sunshine in the winter. I am used to a much more depressing and grey type of winter.

wish I had a horse still would love to have one trained up to shoot off its back for hunting, going through the mountains on horse back is beautiful and so peaceful.

Ohh gawd, that was my ex gf who had those horses. Never been on a horse since...

But I agree, there’s something about riding through the mountains. Very beautiful....

I’ve got a picture of my daughter sitting in a friends mule, while he was holding her. She was pretty young. Hahah he’s the type of friend that won’t ever have kids... so it was funny to see.

Yes sir

it’s a money grab..


1ne eye said:
In Alberta you need a pleasure craft license for a boat.

This^

I agree, I’ve never been asked for it either... they’re usually more concerned about the drinking and or fishing license....

Because we also need to have a fawking license to fish as well...

Another money grab...

Do you guys have rolling blackouts? Every 2 hours for half an hour. It’s been 115 degrees here and never a blackout ! Now that it’s breaking records of 0 degrees f with 30 mph winds and chill factors-15 degrees f .

Can’t say I’ve ever seen rolling blackouts, but have had our share of power outages during heavy snows in years past. We’ve been hearing about your crazy weather down south, I have a cousin in Houston. I hope you stay safe, WH!

Thanks DutchinAB -20 degrees Celsius here this morning 4 degrees f . I don’t grow in the house so every time they drop the power I drop to 48 degrees f 9 degrees c . Took the gas heat out now I’m paying for it , no outlet for another . If it wasn’t for the fireplace we’d definitely freeze! That’s what I need to is give gr185 a shout see how he’s doing .

We run on natural gas where I live. Not that renewable stuff that would fail hard every winter.

I have a natural gas line 4 miles down the road . They said it wouldn’t be cost effective to pipe it to us ? But yet they pipe it all the way to California ?
 
Reave said:
That kinda sucks. Guess I’m spoiled.

Odjob said:
We got tons of natural gas coming in from the Atlantic. It's piped to the New England States. The highest bidder trumps us and we suck on the oil tit. Same deal, they used infrastructure expense to justify going for a fatter market.

We’ve thought about selling the farm and moving back into the city but we’ve been here 34 years spoiled to the country side. Surely not gonna move back to the city I moved from still disorganized. Check out the west fertilizer blast on utube for one hell of a show.
When we first moved here there were apopulation of a whopping 189 now it’s 1315 .
