This is a video of last night here in Yellowknife. They really started to fire around 2AM this morning. http://aurora.phys.ucalgary.ca/summary_plots/slr-rt/yknf/yknf_latest_720p.mp4

My guess would be that it may well have been caused by the earth being hit by an M class solar flair and CME yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/RsoeEdis Geomagnetic Storm Warning NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify. Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur. Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California. http://astronomynorth.com/aurora-forecast/

Because I eat meat for every meal. Already costs me $135 a week in groceries just for myself. If I ate $15 steaks for every meal I would never be able to afford to build my lakeside retreat!!!! :tease:

Must be nice. I just have husky sized poopcicles in mine!!

Been living under a rock Brian? That commercial is 2 or 3 years old. The one with his honey is funny too.

Well we had a blizzard warning here yesterday. High winds and a little snow but it was fairly warm. Now it's -26 with -40 wind chill. I'm sittin' on the couch watchin' hockey.

I don't know what load tester they are using at your CT but the one they have here in Yellowknife is automatic. Turn it on, push the test button and it does the rest including printing off a report. So easy even a caveman could do it!!!

He's not the only one.

Damn skippy!!!!! I'm out there @ -40 with a 1500 watt electric heater blowing on my tank so the propane will vaporize!!!

Went to a bunch of Rock games when I lived back East. A couple of title games too.

Spring for me starts when I see my first robin. Yes we get them this far North.

I always stop my boat as I like to just fight the fish mano a mano!!! Besides most of time I'm alone and don't need to worry about the boats position when I should be concentrating on the fish @ the end of my line.

There are more than a few vehicles running around with my boot print on them because they did that.

Yep, pour that stuff on pancakes and waffles.

Ya caught that did ya Brian.

Fixed it fer ya. My guess is the issues are being nipped in the bud before he turns into another Evander Kane.

HAHAHA!!! Check out the video. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1051392258207738

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nazem-kadri-maple-leafs-forward-to-sit-next-2-games-1.2990325 Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri will sit out the next two games, the team announced on Wednesday morning. Toronto forward Nazem Kadri will be held out of the Maple Leafs' next two games. Team president Brendan Shanahan says the team is cracking down on issues with the 24-year-old centre. Kadri missed a team meeting Sunday and was made a healthy scratch for Monday's game as a result. Shanahan says that after consulting with general manager Dave Nonis and the coaches, the organization wants to make a bigger point by keeping Kadri out for tonight's game against Buffalo and Friday's game in Calgary. He adds that if things go well, Kadri will be available to play Saturday for the Leafs in Vancouver. Shanahan says it's time for Kadri to start making better decisions, but he did not provide further details. Kadri's teammates seemed caught off guard by the suspension. Captain Dion Phaneuf said he thinks Kadri has handled himself well through the situation. On mobile and can't view tweet? See it here On mobile and can't view tweet? See it here

Yep, got some big wood goin' on.

UH OH!!! What did I get myself into? Got my big wood delivery today. Now I just need to get it up the lake to the property. It's possible I may have bitten off more than I can chew!!!! I think it will take more than one trip.
