Hi Sparky:
Thank Heaven you're back! Your fans were getting worried!
Here you were, out having a good time with your dog out in the snow, laughing and jumping around, and we were sitting here thinking you might be still stuck in the bathtub or something. Not that you should feel guilty about producing that special photo every day or anything like that. The pressures of fame can be intense, I guess. ;p

P.S. The sparkly pic of the electrocuted welder is great! I was hoping to do some welding yesterday in my back yard, but the ground was too wet and I didn't care too much for the thought of becoming a crispy critter like him.

Holy s*** are you on drugs, Scalp?? And I thought my posts were weird.


Well, her Feb 20 post mentions nipple clamps. So I found out what they were, having never actually used them. Now I see what they are, I'm still not sure what I would ever use them for unless I was a plumbing contractor. No, I don't do drugs, I'm naturally like this, but they call it eccentric at this point and they just roll their eyes.
Ahem, on further inspection of the picture, I now see that there are jumper cables attached to that poor man's shirt. Maybe those are the nipple clamps after all. What did you think she meant?
 
Feb. 21 = FSJ Night

Charla, when I subscribed to your picture of the day thread, I was under the impression that there would be a picture each day.

If I was mistaken and this is actually a picture-whenever-you-feel-like-it thread, or a picture-whenever-the-planets-align thread thats fine, but I think I have the right to know if thats the case.

You're not the only show in town you know... I could subscribe to RockDoc's Boring Mineral of the Day thread... please, please, don't make me do that.

:D
 
What exactly am I seeing here? Are those lights the fires on which you roast your whale blubber and seal meat or did electricity finally make it up there?

That's the view of FSJohn from the top of Toboggan Hill (the windiest place in town). Electricity - yeah we've had it for a couple years now. I dunno... something about it being convenient as there are two major hydroelectric dams on the nearby Peace River. :p

Nag. Nag. Nag. Nag. Nag. Nag. Perhaps you ought to re-read the first post. I made no guarantees about delivery! I hope that your appetite for pics will be satiated by today's selection (especially by the first pic) :cheers:

Feb. 22 = Escaped the office!!!
(proof that miracles do happen)

Went out and assessed a bunch of projects with one of my favourite work compadres, Hayley. I'm a magnet for dead animals, it seems, and today was no exception. We snow-shoed for ~8km. These are some of the 'extracurricular pics' I took today. Cold, windy, fun day. Thanks Hayley!! (I know you're lurkin').

Feb. 22 continued...

Saw a LOT of snow today and since we could've used some sleds but didn't... I was itching to do some high marking at some point. Managed to get the 77 stuck on a drift in my front yard (my neighbours love me).

The end of the day came at Casey's Pub with a bunch of coworkers I'm proud to call friends. XOXO! :D
