Might want to get a better set of earplugs.
Are they bagpipe proof?

Even to Canadian bagpipes?

Forget the Velveeta.

Chocolate covered bacon on a stick.

. . . . . for those of you on Fahrenheit that just cold as...insert your own expletive
Colder than a well digger's backside.

I spent a few days in Winnipeg a week before Christmas about 8 years ago, parked next to this truck:





It was -50° C.

Spit would freeze before it hit the ground.

At some point I doubt the wind chill really matters.

That's one of the things that if you try to patent you need to show a working sample to make your claims.

For our friends in the US impoverished by their media not providing on-going commentary, England 3/130 at the WACA (pronounced like a naughty word, as discussed here last week).


Root won the toss and chose to bat. That is the standard advice.

Now 4/143. Only another wicket to start getting at the tail. And only an hour after lunch on the first day.

About 0410. Time to finish the morning cuppa joe and hit the trail.

Today is drill day.

A wing spar is patiently waiting for me to perforate it with a few hundred holes.
