Lots of scary news about flooding. 

And the PQ Premier talking about govt subsidizing people moving from flood zones, after they pass a threshold of govt subsidized rebuilding.

Dratted Al Gore!

That’s why dispite the fact that I live in a flood zone, I would never take a nickel of government flood aid. If I want to move or sell it will be on my terms not the government dangling a carrot in the left  hand and booting me off my land with the right foot. Feel  bad for a lot of folks though.

Nice pics Groomer, sorry to steer you post off track.😀

Hi Jean-Guy,  

Good to hear things seem to be ok in your area. We are paying the price here for all the snow this winter. Epic flooding in many areas. On a positive note I did get to snowmobile today, moving my machines to higher ground!😁

Ha wish I could Jean-Guy, 

busy watching water rise here. View out my front window, if you look closely you can see what is left of our snowmobile trail heading down the lake.

Good luck with the water Norm.  Looks like there is still lots of snow and ice to melt yet!

Thanks,

Normally we have a spring flood but the house is built to take it. This  year we had tons of snow still left as the water rose from heavy spring rain, so we are pushing the limits of our flood proof basement. The garage first floor is flooded but it is cement part way up so no damage, all my toys from the garage are lined up on my road on higher ground, making it look like I am having a garage sale!😁

Hey JG, what are those orange "boxes" in your pictures? Thanks

 

hi jak !!!

 

 thats for truckers !!! we call that the '' mail box ''...

when truckers go up in the woods  for a loads of logs....the guy who load them ...give them papers ....(bills i guess )....so , everytime they pass by a '' mail box ''...they must stop and ''stamp / punch ...the papers ....i think there s a copy for the mill...one for the trucker and another one for the '' land and forest minister...

i ll try to go back tomorrow...not sure about the word...inside the box...there s only a '' punch '' to stamp the papers

at the same time...truckers check their loads and truck 

pic taken 4 miles before mill and 2 miles before tq 5 ...there s another '' mail box '' at the 14 miles and at the 88 km on the way up to la cache !!!

Better check with Flourette about the grossed pontine extra fromage, I ordered it for you.  She said you would not want it!!  That was the day we met you with Linda's crew.
