every 13 years...just like clockwork

yup, that's a new winter jacket I'm wearing. The last time I bought one was 13 years ago, i wear stuff till it wears out, but the missus has objections about me going around dressed like a homeless guy who's down on his luck.... When I travel for work it's sorta expected that a feller presents himself in a certain light. " oh, YOU'RE the airport guy, sorry thought you were a homeless guy" I've actually heard that before- I think deep down I like shattering that first impression.

Frank, i will trade your +18 of the other day for my -18 of this morning. Old man winter is not here yet...but he sent his missus the BVSQ on ahead to get things ready for him, hence the mongo-drift hanging off the edge of the roof.

well, I just got back from Wrigley, NWT, pop. approx. 150. Flying back today was kinda cool. The cloud deck was maybe 500 feet above ground most of the way back, so the tree tops were not too far below us. With the mountains going by it was pretty cool. Of course, I didn't have my camera...next time. there is a road to Wrigley but because it's on the other side of the Mackenzie river, you have to take a ferry, but with freeze-up going on, the boats are done for the season. I was up there training a gal to work at her airport. Which is a vital link for an isolated community at this time of the year. maybe some kid pics and whatnot tomorrow maybe.
