Snowy trucks

Dinner prep, found a spicy onion

❄️🐾💕🐾❄️

I call this one "Sky Walker" #cougar #mountainlion #painting #art

Into the second unit, mostly apart. Nice to be holed up inside today -18 out in the country.

Roads closed, perfect

So it begins

Was asked to help cater for a friends birthday. Request was appetizers.

Don’t let the 80v DC spicy wires touch

Grabbing ice and the guy next to me is dumping 3 litres of oil into this VW. Then goes back in for another 2. Sitting here just waiting to hear it start up.

A month after the election my advanced mail in ballot finally arrived

Getting that good scratch right in the ear 🎨 - @zephyxus.bsky.social

Things are progressing,

Checking over a few decks before commander night tomorrow

Nice to be inside for this cold snap

It’s gross out

Van is packed full for three weeks on site

Asleep after her big day, doing pretty good. @renegadelioness.bsky.social lives in the dog bed with her now.

Watson Gloves trucks always put a smile on my face. They also have great names for their lines and Canadian made. I’m a big fan of the Van Goats.

Syping tires in the dark and buddy drops a load of forms next to me

Blissfully unaware that she gets spayed tomorrow morning

Hanging out with the big dogs

Grippy again

Syping tires in the rain. At least these new knee pads are nice

Even better on tonight’s walk!

Not bad for behind the house

Fox and pumpkins. Oil on wood.

Aurora is not happy about the roofers on our unit today

Searing off chicken and cooking up mushrooms. Making Cacciatore for dinner.

It’s been a long week

Had to take out the whole alternator mount but I won.

First job after the 40 hour carriage repair. Start the annual service and find out the carriage bearings are pounded out and eating the rails. Guess I’m doing another carriage….

Pretty good view for a car wash

Made it to Canmore through the back roads. First stop the candy store

Aurora wanted a swim in Spray Lakes

Found snow up in the Highwood

Looking dark in the valley

Obligatory stop in Longview for jerkey and dog treats.

Quick stop in Bragg for a coffee and cookies at Mabel and Marie’s. Headed up the Highwood pass.

Ready to start test fitting in the morning. See how close my guess was at the shim packs.

20 ton bottle jack wins again

Changing mast lines. Chilly air up here

4 roller assemblies ready to go

Wish I still had access to liquid nitrogen, makes this job effortless.

Bake on convect at 350 for 30-45 minutes. Or until your house smells like hot steel.
