Just a brutal cold stretch. Coldest since 1983 or so. Hasn’t been above -30 in six weeks, -40 for a month, and -50 for six days. I’m beginning to question my life choices. When it does finally break 10 below will feel like T-shirt weather.
Stunning. Reminds me, were you able to finish the renovation projects on the "in town" place? Are you having to check in on it regularly in addition to maintaining normal life in your cabin? Not yet. Winter caught me. I’m trying really hard to talk Mrs. Moose out of hardwood floors, but she is standing firm. Looks like I’m going to have to learn how to install them.
And not to believe their good guy with a gun John Wick fantasy where they are bad asses with large penises and in complete control and will be the hero
I’ve played that game lots of times. Now that I have a company rig and don’t pay for gas I just leave it running. It’s been running non stop for over a month 😂
If you’re dressed for it, I don’t think it’s that bad either. Now, having to work out in it for extended periods of time sucks. For me this type of cold brings about little pains in the ass. Having to wake up in the middle of the night and reload the wood stove, the propane freezing so there is no cook stove. I had to change the frozen tank out with a warm one this morning before I could make coffee. That’s depressing.
That is a Nenana Heating thermometer. A coveted item around here because they are the only ones that go to 100 below. Most thermometers stop at 60 below. Coldest we’ve seen was 72 below.
We’ve had our longest cold spell for at least 3 or 4 years. Has been below -30 for three weeks. Has been below -40 for the past 5 days, bottoming out at -49. It don’t make a shit, Magnum is still running to the cabin.
This Abilene boy who had the temerity to matriculate to the beautiful University of Texas at Austin instead of that shithole in Lubbock has an unnatural hatred for all things Tech. Fuck their school, their teams, and their fans.
All the hotels in Fairbanks do this. In fact if you leave it in the winter they’ll plug your car in for you if you call them the day before you arrive so that bitch will start at 40 below
Anyone have a go to for hard to find parts?
I have a stainless pre-Taurus Rossi M971 357 mag that needs a new crane.
I’ve ordered a couple off the internet but they don’t fit.
Suggestions appreciated
I don’t technically have an address, so I cannot obtain a Real ID.
We just use our passports for air travel.
I will be arrested when I refuse to pay the fee I’m sure.
We’re down to about six hours of daylight per day rand still losing light. Sub-zero temps are the norm. Great time to take a nap on the bed next to the wood stove in the sunlight
We live about 3 miles off the highway. Magnum likes to run ahead of the truck to the cabin. At 11ish he can still make the 3 miles but it’s at more of a jog now
