Re: REALLY COLD

Hi Pete, now that you have Icelandic Sheep you now need Icelandic ponies to round up your sheep. Boy are they nice horses. By the way Icelandic sheep taste pretty good even though I'm not a lover of lamb. Being stationed there seven years you had to try it at least once. Passed on the eyeballs though. An Icelandic treat. The wool though will make some outstanding sweaters.

Frank,

Yep the coffee does indeed help also the woodstove to keep these old bones warm..but we are seeking a warmer county. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

that reminds me of my youth ... we used to go to Lakeview (when it was still a "lake") ... let's see, I believe that's part of Cooking Lake, right? ... and tie the long tobaggan behind the car and dad would drive around on the ice. Never happen nowadays ... it'd be illegal, unsafe, non-pc and all that other stuff ... but it was a great way to spend a sunday.

Here in Miudland, they have a small area in the "City Forest" where they built a small bowl in the woods ... they have a toboggan run going down one side and up the other ... and actually make snow if it's cold enough. I hear the kids really love it. But now that I'm old and grey ... I like sitting on my duff on that snow touring machine, turning up BTO on the MP3 player, and touring the quiet woods. Although I have to drive at least an hour to unload the pantera. Sigh ... back in Thorhild, I had miles and miles of miles that I could ride, starting in my back yard.

The coldest I've ever been is when my beloved wife took me to Quebec City in the middle of the winter. 40 below zero, and a wind chill that I don't even want to think about. I thought my face was going to fall off. Seriously, at one point I was convinced I was going to simply freeze solid and die. Today here near Rochester, NY, it's a balmy 10 degrees, and the wind is only about 25 mph or so. I think I'll go catch some rays. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Someone up in Quebec area was telling me that they maintain hundreds and hundreds of miles of trails for snowmobilers. Sounds great.. they can take long trips like bikers do.. and stay in different towns each night if they want to. I think I'd get a snowmobile if I lived up there. Around here we are limited to running along beside the road.. seems kind of risky and maybe not too much fun? I dunno.. never had one.. CFO won't approve it! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
