I resemble this comment.
The truly crazy part is that I can now regard both to much the same degree. Wishing mom was still around to chuckle at me and say 'I told you so!'

Humility borne of experience is a hell of a governor. And that includes the critical fails that I've walked away from just as much as those that took several periods of time to recover from. It's...

Regarding masks, comparing a protocol of a public health order to a workplace occupational hazard is a false equivalency. Workplaces are controlled, the hazard is specific, and the worker's ppe is...

The fucked thing is, there is just so many more people around now. There is always a percentage of the population that just don't give a fuck about anyone else, but most people usually get the hint...

Wife just received her first dose of the Moderna vaccine. She reports feeling a little achey, but otherwise seems upbeat - she's been pretty stressed regarding work/friends/community and COVID the...

As previously reported, I received one replacement in about a month's time, near the beginning of dec. I sent another email asking about the other unit in the first week of Jan. Got a reply about 3...

Not sure if Horgan is going to get anywhere with the close the provincial border idea. Too many points of access, and our economies are too closely tied. As far as I know, the current order asks that...

I was a little annoyed with Bobbi picking out the bullet fragment from her shoulder, and then just tossing it behind her. In an ultra-fast razorback, where it could become a deadly projectile in an...

Heh. First is isolation, then culling the infected herd/crop, usually followed by some form of fallow. Strange they aren't drawing any parallels.

As for christianity and farmers, the churches...

Looking back on the past year, I am going to appreciate the fuck out of 2021. Especially the little things.

Wishing health, prosperity, and happiness to all of you for the next spin around ol' Sol

Heh, I should have been more clear. Since having our daughter, my wife doesn't 'camp' with anything less than a 20ft trailer, with all the amenities and plenty of power for multiple devices. We have...

A bit of tension in the air tonight. Wife is a regressing technophobe. Her 25yr old ipod/mp3 player finally gave up the ghost last summer, so her source for music while camping is no longer...

The carpal tunnel syndrome is my issue. Both parents had issues with theirs, one day soon I'll have to get surgery on my wrists. Trigger finger bad on my right middle finger. Fingers don't go numb so...

Dreads washed in the ocean and sun dried I have no problem with. Dreads in the interior mountains is definitely potential Wookie territory.

Neither of those fine lasses would get turned away from...

Sure, go ahead and throw coastal grading and island access costs into your estimate request!
Coastal sawlog Doug fir is about $200+/m3, hemlock about the same as the interior. Top price for Fd...

Tracking numbers do strange things when they cross the border. Some sites include a disclaimer that the tracking number is not active once it crosses the int bdy. When checking online, sometimes it...

Depends a lot on your local log market. Doug fir here is about $100/m3 and hemlock $90/m3 sawlog received at the mill. Another $30/m3 for peelers (fir). Truck holds 30-50m3 depending on axle config....

While not 100% effective, I've noticed this happening less once those centerline and median lines rumble strips became commonplace. But ya, hogging the cleared centre of the road on narrow highway is...

I have several F1 and even an old F2 that I use for practice beacons (although we are starting to rotate modern digital beacons out for new). For shits and giggles, I'll take the F2 and try finding 2...

I would just like to express my appreciation to all the ladies (and their submitting maggot half) who have consented to the offering of their sensual image to Ullr for the benefit of us all. Despite...

No breaking required when you don't have a spine.

And so the Wild Hunt begins! A safe and warm solstice to all of you!

The paralysis you experienced when you woke to the vibrations could be explained by REM sleep muscle-inhibiting chemicals in the brain. It explains some accounts of waking and experiencing paralysis,...

A couple tabs of the kitties' deworming pills in the festive eggnog will clear that right up.

And then hand them a very large tin of that wonderful holiday baking. :D

Butcher paper is waxed to extend its use, and most also has a plastic film on one side, to prevent freezer burn. Newsprint style paper, without the ink, can be used for short term packaging though....

In my twig pig days, we were trained to carry a pack of smokes, and offer one when dealing with individuals that were under stress. Worked very well, both for the intended use, and in gifting when...

Congrats!
Now time to get a haircut and a tie.

Yup. Canadian and UK Mars = US Milky Way. Milky Way sold elsewhere in the world = 3 Musketeers in US and Canada.
I've had the UK Milky Way, and for some reason it was better than the 3 Musketeers...

Heh. Skiing in the 'Rockies', and asking about shark fin coverage is all. If it was covered today, tomorrow the wind will make the question moot. ;)

Been getting the same. Hit the unsubscribe button, and if anything more comes through the pipes, off to the spam filter it goes.

Snickers > Mars > Milky Way > 3 Musketeers

Does this thread foretell the end of DigitalDeath?

While not leather, can’t go wrong with falling pants suspenders. Brand Husqi or Stihl blaze orange.

MS, I’m still rocking my army surplus heavyweight wool cargo pants. But they are starting to...

For the past 3 or 4 years, the BC gov has greatly increased funding to SAR groups. Unfortunately, that funding is not certain, and is disbursed on an annual basis, so long-term planning and...

Don't forget the pineapple-filled one. Didn't have dinner...

Damn, forgot about that one. Another great father/son bonding sitcom for me.



I agree with you. While Seinfeld was funny, there just wasn't any heart to it. How could you bond to any of the...

You forgot the donuts.

Next xmas get me a chainsaw.

Take off, eh.

That was nuts.

They said they made the effort to keep the bear 'safe' by blocking its egress from either the den entrance, or into the saw blade above. Still not sure why they didn't just...

Might have been an early attempt at fluid replacement with anti-freeze alcohol. Unfortunately matching bleed-out with intestinal absorption was miscalculated.

Cryogenics via glacier is presumed to have that effect.

At least they get to (re)experience a whole different set of challenges/frustrations. Which is always a good thing in troubling times.

Used to be on both the can, and on the 24case/12packs. No idea if still there as the last time I drank it, I think still was living in Creston.

Just here for my usual plug for Stanfields. http://stanfields.com/collections/mens-base-layers
For heavyweight wool, made in Nova Scotia, they are my recommendation. Designed to shrink to fit with...

Damn that crust looks nasty! :eek:

We got lucky here. Rain only went to about 1200m, but the crew out yesterday found 20cm of upside-down snow from 1200m to treeline at least. Great sledding until...

And yet you still broadcasted it. Not responsible for your guilt dude.

And for the record, I do have boots on the ground. Several in fact. But I've shared nothing publicly that I've learned from...
