Gilliangirl Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Can I sleep on your couch?........ Sure! Don't forget to bring a down comforter that is good for -40celsius' date=' a toque, down jacket, ski gloves, and get a block heater installed in your truck, or you'll never survive up here! Think 'North To Alaska' ...... [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Karen... Yeah, every time I think it's chilly here, I remember it's chillier north and east in that odd oval of arctic air that usually - but not always - misses where I'm living now. Still, yup on the engine heater and apparel. I've probably got more weight in "winter disaster gear" in the Jeep than stuff I'd carry on a summer vacation. <grin> As for sleeping on a couch... Remember the old blues/folk thing everybody did "Make Me Up a Pallet on your Floor?" Different words from different folks and I doubt it was even all that original with Mississippi John Hurt. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the mountains we get the worst and the best of it, the best being these great Chinooks that come in for a few days when everyone else is freezing their yingyang off. I do know that pallet song.... Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings do that song (really well) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Gee Karen... I figured you were too young to know the song... When I was 18-20 it was pretty much a song that had the sorta reality reflected in everyday life. <grin> Actually if I don't need a parka hood, mostly I have a cupla heavy felt hats that have most of the starch outa the brims. If it gets really chilly I've some "hat earmuffs" or sometimes the old line camp "doo-fer" of a scarf. The brim keeps snow outa your eyes, at least kinda. If the hood's needed, then an Elmer Fudd hat under the hood. I really like a brim when it's blowing snow as long as it's not much colder than your -40C. If you've gotta use the snorkel hood... I hope it ain't blowin' too bad. Actually this winter it's been what, maybe -31-32 C, so my winter stuff is still in the closet. ************************ Birthday Murph... groundhog birthday... It's great to hear a picker kinda pickin' up again. I think as long as it isn't overdone (which a lotta us have done), it's even good for your health. A bit of exercise and a positive attitude (mostly.) In fact... I can't think of a much better birthday present... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
