Who'd be foolish enough to give it to me...   B)

BTW.. I was talking about carefully walking out on the thin ice 2 days
ago to get water, staying where it was only a foot deep water or so..

Today when I went out I started to re-cut the hole and it seemed to
be really solid (I was jumping up and down) so I went out to deeper
water to chop the new hole and I had to cut through 6 inches of ice.

I couldn't believe how much it had thickened in 2 days.
I hauled out my big wooden box with a lid that I put over the hole
once winter finally gets here, so now I just have to wonder if
things are going to warm up again before true winter gets here
and I'd have to pull it all out again..

I got a note (and phone call) from Hydro today saying they will
be turning my power off on Dec 17th for 4 hours to work on
some local lines. I hope it's no longer than that, which would
be really annoying.. and maybe, with luck, it will not be quite
as cold as it was today.  (High/Low  -13c/-17c    10f/-2f)

You can't really go by their time estimates because my last 2 power
outages, one they said it would be off for 4.5 hours, and it was
off for 10 minutes, and the other they said would last 5 hours and
it was off for 27 hours..
