Just dropped by to say Hi! I'm actually "in town" for the weekend... okay
it's Norman Wells and only 800 people... I'm having a few drinks waiting at
the office for the local bar to open. I got wind there would be peelers here
this weekend so I managed to get some time out of the bush......
WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo it's time to tie one on and cut loose!!!!!

It's been an average of minus 38 here for a long while. I'm working outdoors
all day! Kickin' ass and takin' names. I've been working survey and in
charge of 2 crews erecting steel abutments for bridge crossings. Cols steel
at 40 below just sucks the heat out of you! The snow is belly deep to a
moose and it makes for a diffcult time surveying. I've gotten more
snowmobile and Argo time this season than all the other years combined. One
of my local buddies just got his commercial helicopter cert.... so I'm off
to the Franklin Mountains tomorrow morning for a spin!

Get this now...... they provided me with two beautiful blonde babes as
helpers. I'm not kiddin' ya... these girls are cute. How lucky can you get
eh?!! The girls are back at base camp.... Ha Ha Ha! They get out next week
when the bar brings in the male strippers for lady's night!

I see not much has changed at ASA.... Jax is still sailin' the Irwin of
mental vessels! Bobby is claiming to be going on sabbatical? Ha Ha Ha

I'll post pictures to webshots when I get back.... I'm on a snail connection
here. Take care and I'll see if I can check in on Sunday before I head back
out to the sticks. Man what totally AWESOME country this is up here!!!

No way.... the last thing you consider at 40 below is removing any clothes.

Despite all attempts my tongue has been unable to reach that far to date....
Ha Ha Ha Ha ha

We cancelled the helicopter trip... the weather and the pilot are pretty
foggy this morning... maybe tomorrow.
Great time last night. Surprisingly.. I don't have a hang-over! It must be
the dedicated training regiem I've adhered to while in Nova Scotia. I
haven't had a drink here since returning in January, until last night. I
can't say the rest of the booze dumpsters out last night are faring as well
as I am. It must be the fact I'm a sailor! :-D

Mooron,

Glad you're surviving that bitter cold. Are you putting the air
conditioning fin on the steel, as we did for the pipeline?

When they told me I was heading North during pipeline construction, I
told them it only was because I was Standing looking in that direction.
Birch Bay, Wa. w.as as far north as they were locating me.

I did get to see some of the construction problems they had with the
"Perma Frost"

Keep 'em warm, ole Buddy, You got a lot of year yet to use them.

Right on Scotty! I heard you folks had a wicked storm pass through. I heard
from my family that it hit Halifax hard! They called it "White Juan" and it
left 95cm of snow behind with 3 meter drifts.

It's warm here in Norman Wells today.... only minus 24c. Caught a couple of
shows at the bar last night. The Peeler was a nice distraction.

I have to be back in Halifax by end of April to prep Overproof for
splashing. It's Tall Ships again this year so I'm planning to take time off
for that at the end of July. It should converge nicely with the Wooden Boat
Festival in Mahone Bay.

Mooron,

Glad you're surviving that bitter cold. Are you putting the air
conditioning fin on the steel, as we did for the pipeline?


Steel work is on the abutment bin walls and piling for the bridge
placements. Massive panels that need to be manually heaved into place,
spudded and bolted. Handling 5/8s bolts at -42c is an exercise in frost
burn. I've got a special suit from Northern Outfiitters that handles the
extreme cold quite nicely. The survey work is another matter.... waiting 4
hours by the GPS to confirm coordinates and travelling site to site to plant
steel pins into rock. Sometimes you have to dig up to 2 meters of snow to
get to the ground. It's a blast... and everyday is an adventure. I'm lovin'
it.!! :-D


When they told me I was heading North during pipeline construction, I
told them it only was because I was Standing looking in that direction.
Birch Bay, Wa. w.as as far north as they were locating me.

I did get to see some of the construction problems they had with the
"Perma Frost"


Yeah.. we're on fine grained soils here.... old glacial lake bed. Lots of
perma frost problems. We're using liquid nitrogen to freeze the holes below
the frost lines.


Keep 'em warm, ole Buddy, You got a lot of year yet to use them.


You bet Thom! I'm dreaming of the day I get to go sailing again in warm
weather... which by comparison will seem like blistering hot weather.

Take care of yourself and keep these guys here in line and on subject! :-D

Hi Ya Jeff..... Way to go slappin' Jax with the Cold Wet Fish of Reality!

Nah... just preping the river crossings for extension of the winter road.
All roads North of Wrigley are seasonal winter roads. They need the bridges
in place to extend the operational window for the pipeline that is coming
through. There's an awful lot of river crossings. This season 12 bridges are
going in. They'll need more next year. Prior to last year all crossings were
on ice only. That restricts payloads on heavier trucks. A year around access
to this area is still a decade away unless they push a lot of cash at it in
a hurry. No rush... it's a beautiful place. I'll post photos when I get
back.

Take Care Jeff

Good thing somebody kept the dogs. It's true that they have a number of
limitations but two Sno-Cats will never make a litter of new ones...

Did the tranny blow up because the gear oil solidified?

It is a very different scene down here. The marina was crowded for the
first time since last September. The buzz of hand sanders working on
their varnish, power washers blasting, and the occasional lazy sot
foregoing boat work to go sailing... nice breeze today too.

I have been working down in our engine room and have completed fuel
system replacement & upgrade, it was nice and cool down there while
everybody else was sweating up a storm.

WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo it's time to tie one on and cut loose!!!!!


Is this a "sock puppet" of Whorevath? roflmao


It's been an average of minus 38 here for a long while.


Well, it's been over 70 deg. F (25 c for the rest of Europe) here, and the
peach tree in the back yard has buds all over. Never packed those shorts
away, it's been a very warm winter with thoughts of you, Capt Mooron...


Get this now...... they provided me with two beautiful blonde babes as
helpers. I'm not kiddin' ya... these girls are cute. How lucky can you get
eh?!!


Constant reminders of me, no doubt... :-D


The girls are back at base camp.... Ha Ha Ha! They get out next week
when the bar brings in the male strippers for lady's night!


Hovath, is that you? Bwaahwhwahhahahahwahaa!

I'll post pictures to webshots when I get back....


Promise? xoxo

I'm on a snail connection
here. Take care and I'll see if I can check in on Sunday before I head

back
out to the sticks. Man what totally AWESOME country this is up here!!!


I'm sure it's very scenic...but very cold...

You aint a kiddin! All the attraction pictures on the towns web site
must have been taken in August. I dont see the 10+ feet of snow Moron
described.

They are currently 110 degrees F.(not the silly smelly chainsmoking
gay french measuring system moron uses) colder than here. I bet they
have to hand out huge stacks of money to get anyone to work in that
frigadare.

By comparison your in a mild climate Katy. It's kinda funny you
telling him it is way to cold while you shiver thru spring.

Cold is a relative thing to where you are and what you get used to. My =
cousin Alea lives in the northeast of B.C. and lives for the cold, just =
like Mooron does. Difference in cold here and cold there is that it =
costs less to heat up a house here than there and to stay qarm inside.
