(from scratch - with bacon)
Have a good day all ;)

I do so go out in winter...
Thinking back to my summer bounty of outdoor photos and videos, it would appear that I don't get out in the winter. I do, but, it is a pain in the ass when it is cold. I thought a little video for those in the south would clear things up.

I have been walking with an upstairs friend this last week, because she's crazy and I need the exercise. I was going to film this when we were both out last night, but it was so cold we didn't go. I damn near froze walking from the office - a mere 100 yds (give or take) from the wind chill and we do about 2 km (yes, I grew up using imperial then they brought in metric). By the time I went out and filmed this the temperature had risen and the wind had died, it was almost pleasant - I should have done the whole walk.
It is supposed to warm up even more over the next few days which will be nice. I can go out and restock my cabinets with food.
Sorry, the sound sucks - and it is not a very good video.
Have a good weekend all!

Baby, it's cold out there!
Well, I managed to reprogram my computer, but it didn't help. By the time I got all the updates and stuff added on, I had used up over 8 Gb of hard drive. I didn't even load all the crap that came with the computer in the first place. BTW, 8 GB is outrageous! As soon as I can go a buy a disk (all of mine are in use), I will be downloading Linux and loading it in hopes of extending the use of this box. I really can not afford to replace it. In the mean time, I have no photoshop - sob! I guess I'll have to make do with the editor that came with the camera.
Except, who wants to go outside and take pictures when it is -26C (-14F) with a windchill of -37C (-35F)? I'm not even walking the 100 yards to the office today, I am checking for messages on the phone from home. (the boss okayed that) I doubt sincerly that we will have anyone drop in to look at suites today. With the slow down we are experienceing in renting...I doubt we would have anyone even if it weren't this cold. The good thing about that, my rent won't be going up!
The manager & her husband took the staff out for Christmas dinner last night - in the cold. I would have taken my camera, but both sets of my batteries were dead...I guess I have been a bit too busy to take any photos lately. Why is it that restaraunts can't seem to grasp the concept of allergies? J & myself are both allergic to shellfish and mushrooms....most dishes are served with one or the other at this place. We both ordered the beef tenderloin, with no sauce and asked that it be cooked on a grill that had not just been used for shellfish or mushrooms. We both had to send it back. They serve the steak on a bed of mashed potatoes and the juices had run into the spuds, so they had to change the entire meal. We could both taste fish and poor J, her tongue started to swell, good thing she had some meds with her. I didn't escape my headache either, but at least I won't die from it. The good thing about it having to be redone, it didn't have to sit under the heater long enough to dry out waiting for one of our party to finish their appetizer and change my steak from med rare to med well. Of course, J's wasn't quite well done, but she ate it anyway. Why do people insist on ruining a good steak by overcooking it?
I still have projects to finish and I seem to have started to ramble, so I will sign off now. I will be back soon, but I still have some stuff to load on this computer so that I am fully functional.
Take care all and stay warm.
