BYC Café

What did they call them before? Here they were call pineapple express storms

Ours here aren’t warm and are a different type, not Pineapple Express. I think they were usually referred to by the direction of wind and considered varying degrees of rain or snow storms. The meteorological jargon wasn’t there. This coming Monday’s storm is setting up to be a good old nor’easter, but we’ll see what the media terms it.

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks for the coffee, Shad.

Am I the only one who has problems opening those dog poop bags? Probably as I also have problems with the plastic vegetable bags. The Princess had to open a jar of tomato sauce for me yesterday.

Nope, you're not on your own on this one. I have trouble with the poop bags and a lot of the plastic bags and packaging.

Ohhh, given how close Sackville is to Nova Scotia, I wonder if DD1 got some of that.


Those bags are the pits, especially the new compostable ones. Pre Covid the process was to lick a couple of fingers to get some friction, not sure people want to see that now.

DW tried to do the same with a jar of dilly beans for me the other day, she couldn't do it either. I got out my Grandmother's

It dented up the cap a fair bit before the seal popped, I guess Heidi's canner did a good job!

They must have sold pretty well since she lived all her life in So. Cal after being brought from Spain by her father when she was about 3. The opener was made in Burlington, VT, < 1/2 mile from our old house.


It was 19°F when DW left for work just before 7. Made it ALL the way up to 21°F now. It might make freezing later.

I give the edge of the lid on jars a hard enough tap to break the seal. Most will undo then.

Lovely sunny morning here.

Good morning Cafe and thanks for the coffee, Shad.
It's drizzling here but warmer.
The chickens appear to be getting used to the idea of snow on the ground again. There were hundreds of chicken footprints in the snow around the pen.

Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Good Morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee!

A Happy Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving/Turkey Day to everyone across the border.

I awoke to snow on the ground and black ice on the steps. The roads are okay thankfully Just hovering above freezing. It's a grey, but not terribly dark day here.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! BYC and everyone here are some of my many, many blessings.

I'm taking care of the neighbor's chickens while they're in Kentucky for the holiday. Nothing like seeing an over crowded, smelly, under ventilated coop with a postage stamp run to make you appreciate your own setup.

Good Morning Cafe! I've put a pot of coffee on.

It's grey and dreary here - looks like rain. We were lucky to get a small peak of the sunrise before the clouds masked it.

Why don't you invite them over to show them how it's done?
