Recommended Posts

Well another year has passed and it’s time to get your trail passes and break out the hardware.

I must say so far some encouraging signs for November. Been fairly consistently cold and we have frost in the ground almost a foot in places(according to my excavation buddy). Icy mix all night and today here. With snow in many places already things are looking much different than last year. Now we wait and see.

Stay Tuned here for all the action and real news not “Fake”news. Be it Good or Bad. 

Standing by.

A foot of frost.  Wow.  Thats a good start

The ground was very saturated so with the cold setting in it froze up nice. Big Big difference from last year this time.

So you are a glass half empty kinda guy...  ;)

 

I agree with you though....

 No it’s my reverse psychology, if I believe it’s going to happen there’s not a chance so I have to a pessimist.   Like showing up in time for supper with a fork in my hand expecting that I would be fed ......pointless. Therefore I expect not to be fed and everything works out fine !  🍝🍷

-16c wind chills of minus 29c overnight wicked cold. 

Just got home going to bed. Trucked the neige all night from 7:30pm to 8am. Gotta be back at 6pm tonight. And today is Mrs. Ice’s birthday, no festivities for me. She gets it, it’s all good. Getting aquatinted with the operation and learning all the streets of Trois Riveres at the same time. I will say nice working overnight a hell of a lot less idiots on the road. Nice Rig they gave the Rookie, Kenworth semi trailer, been 4 years since I drove the big rigs. Used to the 10&12 wheelers. No problem. 

Until next time.
