 Wednesday morning, leaving the rig south of Lodgepole. The ol' Dodge didn't like it much, even after being plugged in all night. But, with 441k kms, I guess its got good reason to. Someone listened to reason and called off the move today.

Last night wasn't the coldest of the weekend at -41 but it was so loving humid. I'm glad it's over and we're back into the balmy -20s for the week.

slidebite posted:Any news on this? I had my phone on silent and didn't hear the actual alert but saw it on my phone a few minutes later. Turned off the dryer and held off on the dishwasher. According to a followup article on the CBC, that Leif Sollid guy stated consumption dropped 100 MW within seconds of the alert, plus another 100 in a few minutes, and nobody went into blackout over this. Also, apparently this is the first time our grid has dug into battery storage.

Walking around in -10 this morning without a jacket, feeling like a spring day.

I only grease my stuff like once a decade. I've been doing some rural drives, and i was not ready for the "rusted out shitbox truck overloaded with hay bails" to be 08+ F350s. it still feels like they should be 70s fords and square body chevies.

Ford probably sold more 2010s slab-side F150s to accountants in Alberta than they ever sold any 70s F-truck to Albertans period. I've been saying for awhile now that a modern build-your-own-locost kit should start with sourcing parts from a domestic pickup truck, because we have more of those than anything.

Yeah good point, the giant chunks of missing frame wouldn't have made for a very good sports car.

I mean if British sports cars are your example then it's pretty hard if you want it to function and be not on fire

To be fair, in England in the era most british sports cars were built, your only option for most things were "non-functioning" or "on fire", I'm trying to get some poo poo I'll need this summer at auction and people with money are ruining everything.  $225 + $33.75 fees = $258.75  $130 + $19.50 fees = $149.50, and they go on sale all the time for $99. I guess it's good if you've got stuff to sell, but i think everybody being pushed into watching auctions online has ruined the chance of good deals in most cases.
