    Cabin fever

    It's been a bitterly cold winter so far and I haven't ventured out of the house any more than necessary. Until today, that is. Today our temps rose to nearly 0C (32F)...quite balmy after the -36C with a -52C (-62F ) windchill that we had earlier in the week.

    As it was so nice outside, I decided to dig the hotrod out and do some cleanup in the garage. While the truck was out, I figured it couldn't hurt to go for a short drive. Then I figured...HEY!...I have this brand new camcorder that I need to test out. Hmmmmm...wonder what kind of trouble can I get into?

    This is what some of us Canucks like to do in the winter...

    That's very cool!. (pun intended) Thanks for sharing. A nice job on the hot rod.

    Cabin fever in Canada? Funny, we see a lot of Canadian plates around here this time of the year.

    That's an excellent cure for cabin fever. The truck looks great.
    Here in the South we don't see much, if any snow, so we use mud instead. Great fun!

    You're lucky you're in Manitoba, we don't allow such hijinks in Ontario... Much.

    After the cold spell we've had here I think a winter home in a warm southern state might be nice. LOL

    You forgot to post that very important caveat...."kids don't try this at home as this was done by a PROFESSIONAL DRIVER"

    All the best to you and Karen.
