Last week was cold, here in Surrey one day was -8 so nothing like you get but it's enough to cause chaos in the UK, schools boiler broke down so had to shut the school for 1 day while it was fixed. Now it's just wet and windy.
yes we get a dry cold. i remember my step father telling me a story. when he first moved from Surrey England to Canada back in 1970 he said the first winter here he wore a sweater all winter even though the temperature dropped to - 25 c some days. he said the dry cold was nothing like the damp cold they got in UK. he said that cold went through to your bones , while our dry cold was refreshing!
Hey you guys, you are not suppose to like this post!!!!
There is nothing to like about -30, dog can go out and do his business and be back at door in under 5 seconds!

Stig - I found a little book about the history of my junior school (published in 1965, the year I left). It said that after WW1 the caretaker's first job of the day was to light the twenty two stoves.

Not going to name and embarrass but this evening I received an early Christmas gift from a fellow member (100% not my Secret Santa), the gift is a years membership to the American Association of Woodturners, I was so surprised and touched by this amazing gift I got emotional and SWMBO had to share her tissues ☺
So to my newest Friend I want to say thank you, acts of kindness like this mean the world to me and are never forgotten
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

A huge parcel was waiting for me when I got home from work last night. A colleague is dropping part 1 off on his way to visit family tonight. Didn’t manage to complete part 2 yet but it will be dispatched before new year
It's in the shavings - of course!
ya, i took the shavings to the dump when i cleaned my shop up 2 weeks ago to spray lacquer and paint on a bunch of cabinets! grrr!
