Underachiever

Ever since we bought the cabin, I have wanted to go out in March and spend a couple of days at the lake.  Every year since then it has been cold, snowy, and miserable…. basically seasonal temperatures in Saskatchewan but it stinks and we have never managed to do it yet. Growing up in Calgary, [...]

How cold is it in Saskatoon today?

Cold enough to do this.  Seriously.

Blackberry Curve Build Out

On the 27th I went to Best Buy to take a look at DSLR’s on sale.  I didn’t see any DSLRs but while I was there, I saw that Koodo had dropped their price on Blackberry Curves to $150 and no contract.  I had thought about getting a LG Rumor 2 this year but after [...]

Overnight, Saskatoon received approximately 80mm (almost 3 inches) of rain in three hours. In some areas, [...]

Thawing Out

I worked from midnight to 8:00 a.m. on Monday.  After puttering around the office for half an hour, I decided to walk home as for the first time since early December, it was nice enough to go for a 16 block walk.  I had hoped to get some photos but I left about 30 minutes [...]

I am melting

The weather finally broke today in Saskatoon.  I went out today in only one jacket and I didn’t have to get a court order for the dogs to go outside today.  At work it means that guys who have been doing nothing but watching television and trying to stay warm for two weeks are all [...]
