Good morning everyone.

Emergency rations of instant coffee and knäckebröd available in the break room.

Zero Celsius and windy. But not as windy as Vancouver island. However the snow cannon effect will affect some areas over here.
Will cause troubles, no doubt worsend as winter has not really begun and many will be unprepared. Local chaos expected.

Fortunately I can remain indoors today, mostly. May see if there's time for some StarCraft (1). I don't do FPS but Real time strategy on the other hand can be fun. Managed to spawn a virtual machine with the XP alternative ReactOS. It's in alpha mode and not fully functional but can run StarCraft 1. with 16 colors and no sound. Limited but fully playable. I managed to rescue General Duke and his Norad yesterday.

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers

Good Morning connie, soot, Fogfighter, Draclvr, hagatha, Mad, and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark brew awaits!

My introduction to action games was the Tomb Raider series. I can still play the original TR 1, 2, and 3 on my very old computer! Graphics were not good back then...I have all the old ones on the original Disks. I do not have the recent TR games...I think there are 3 of them...don't think I could play them on my IMac...they are to complicted in the combat sequences for me.

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Stay safe hagatha. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie, Gerry, Fogfighter, Hagatha, Draclvr, Mad and everyone. Hope your dermatology appointment went well yesterday Draclvr. Hope the storm moves on quickly Hagatha. Enjoying a cup of WADDB and snacking on knäckebröd and donuts.

Hump Day! 🐫

Good morning everyone.

The storm continues and our power has been off for about 18 hours. It's not too cold inside because I have my propane fireplace.

This morning I'm thankful I made a flask of cold brew coffee. It tastes great even if it's cold. I may make another flask for tomorrow just in case, because this power outage is widespread and it could take a long time to get it all back up and running.

I might charge up my Steam Deck and play for a bit. My two Tough Light lanterns have enough juice to charge phones and other devices and still have tons of battery life left for lighting. Handy gadgets!

It sounds like British Columbia is getting hammered, hagatha. But It also sounds like things are as good for you as they could be, though, under the circumstances.

We are supposed to start feeling the effects of the bomb cyclone on Friday/Saturday. While it is not going to be anywhere near as severe as what you are experiencing, it's an awful lot of rain packed into several days and I will be surprised if we don't have a power outage at some point. We are making what preparations that we can for such an eventuality, as we still don't have a generator.

Wishing everyone a good day.

At least the sun is out and apart from the wind it's a lovely morning., very sunny.

Good Wednesday afternoon. Nothing like your wind, hagatha, but hoo boy! It's hard to even stand up in the wind we're having here. Like you though, at least it's sunny.

Was asked to cater the horse rescue volunteer brunch in December again. This will make 12 years I've been doing it, so I pretty much have everything down to a fine science. That's the week I will have my two grandkids from Colorado here, so I'm going to put them to work making my mom's cinnamon rolls! They both love to cook, so I suspect there will be music and dancing in the kitchen too!

Looks like we'll be having another night with no power. Bummer. But I made another flask of cold brew coffe, so I can at least have my morning brew.

Good morning everyone!

Emergency kits of instant coffee and knäckebröd available in the break room. Just add water. If possible hot.

-3 Celsius and snowing over here. Parts of the country report local power outages.

Good to hear you're doing well Hagatha. Cold brew coffee is also really not bad. I should try it again some time.

Happy Thursday GameBoomers!

Good Morning Fogfighter, connie, soot, hagatha, Draclvr, Marian and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to share with Fogfighter's emergency knackebrod.

Fogfighterhow much snow are you expecting? I'll bet it is pretty to watch if you don't have to go out in the cold! Hagatha I hope you get your power back soon...glad you have the propane fireplace to help keep you warm. Marian I hope you don't lose power...it sounds like you are in for some very stormy weather! Draclvr sounds like a busy month in December at the horse rescue, but nice to have the extra help from your 2 grandkids!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Gerry
