I so glad I was able to resist setting eggs. (for once) I can't even say my strength of common sense prevailed...it's more that I ran out of time to get the bator ready.

In any event, it's -22C (-7.6F) here this morning. It's a bit chilly.

It toughens us up. Those who are weak just don't make it.

Or they escape like we did.
Although the coldest it got where we were was -2 F that went on for a month. Too much.

Escaping works too!

I'm still only wearing a t-shirt or a t-shirt and sweater with summer pants when I travel between houses here and to get food from the freezer in the shop. No jacket all winter. I did freeze my finger on the steering wheel this morning driving down. (I'm not saying it's smart...lol)

Yea we got used to it as well. Work dictated I leave or I might, key word here, might have stayed. Whenever visiting parents in the tropics 45* we’d be stripped down to summer attire and all the tropicals would look at us as if we were weird. They had parkas on.
Once while framing a home in the subzero stuff I hit my thumb with the hammer, it bounced off. Didn’t feel any until the afternoon when temps went above freezing. I don’t really miss the cold.

Our last night above freezing, just in time to install the water heater.

Don't worry i covered up the sharp metal edges, just don't have a current pic.
I need to make another, this time it will be made from a metal feed pan.

Merrily-Merrily-Merrily, the chicks are doing keen!"

Oh dear I bought some eggs. Or wait, was that a dream? oh great, as I get my fuzzy brain going... I realize it was not a dream. What have I done?
