The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Too Far NorthYou design your Halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You have 10 favourite recipes for elk, moose or deer meat.
You live in a house that has no front steps, yet the door is three feet above the ground.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes get filled with snow.
You think everyone from the city has an accent.
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
You frequently clean grease off your barbecue so the bears won't come up on your deck.
There is only one shopping plaza in town.
You find -40C a little chilly.
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.
Shoveling the driveway constitutes a great upper body workout.
There are two seasons: Liquid and Solid
Nine months of winter and three months of rough sledding.
Six inches of snow is still considered a heavy frost.
You actually 'get' these jokes, and forward them to all your Northern friends.

Good morning everyboomie.
IT'S FRIDAY!!!
I'm all set to go head hunting......for sure, and unlike Wednesday & Thursday, Friday is going to be in the upper 60s, instead of in the 80s.
If I can just get my nose to stop sneezing.
I did more mowing today outside the fence, and the wind doeth blow around here occasionally, so I guess the rags and the weeds, and the pollups are floating around in the air.
I do hope Friday is not windy.
I just checked, and we're going to have 23 mph gust. Oh well.
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride.
Sorta Blond everything I said yesterday I was kidding about, except for shaving my legs, and painting my nails.
Ever since I became a carpenter, I've enjoyed painting my nails.
I've enjoyed shaving my legs ever since I got my first Barbie.......er...KEN doll.
Have a happy day everyone.

Joe! You even have me questioning if you kidding or being serious. Have fun and good luck! Are you bringing both pups with? 
Midgie don't work to hard! 
Happy Birthday Haroula and best wishes for a wonderful birthday! 
That is a great improvement. Still a long way to go, but we are so grateful for that much improvement.
