Great video
I was watching him do those snap rolls and thinking that my stomach would have lasted about 2 seconds

If you like the war of 1812, you should try Pierre Burton's books on it...written from the Canadian side

I was amazed when I saw this........the problem ( if there is one ) is that some twit of a PR guy put this man in front of a camera. His comments sounded about right for a guy that you want to do away with your enemies. If folks want to hear nice platitudes talk to politicians....not soldiers.

OH CRAP.......I've grown up

I have a mate who's a chief.......I think I'll send him this

A fine looking youngster Gunny.......must turn after his mom

I just looked at that link for prices in Virginia.......don't complain about the price of your gas....converting for the $US and gallon we pay $4.60 /gal for gas.......on the bright side though we can by Coke ( cola that is ) for $2.11/gal

Free enterprise Donnie me lad........it's what makes the world go round. The latest and greatest of the free enterprise countries is ( would you believe it CHINA ) they are "out competing" the rest of the world in manufacturing........of course the fact that they pay their people about "$2 a year" helps.
This has the makings of turning into a political discussion so I'm going to run & hide now

Congratulations

It's Monday

Another 25cm of snow last night followed again by heavy rain. Catche basins & storm drains are blocked by the snow so you can white water raft on half the streets.....thank the lord that there's no flat land any where around or we'd be flooded.

Crap.....if he had won I could have sued my boss for giving me too much work and stress

Still snowing
-
Good morning......sort of....... 65cm of snow on Saturday, 25 cm on Sunday followed by heavy rain ( snow did not melt ..it just got soggy ) 15 cm last night and a further 20 cm forcast for tomorrow......125 cm since last Saturday. I guess winter has arrived on the rock.

I certainly agree that there seems to have been a major change in the way actors think about serving their country and that all the people mentioned deserve our greatest respect.......however as a Star Trek fanatic and a Canadian I couldn't let that little error about "Scotty" pass.
Sulla must not be awake today
The Dude should have picked it up too

"James Doohan ("Scotty" on Star Trek) landed in Normandy with the U. S. Army on D-Day."
This is not true. He was never ever in the US armed forces. This is some stuff from his biography
"Doohan was born on March 3, 1920, in Vancouver, British Columbia, and spent his early years in there and in Sarnia, Ontario. He left home at age 19 to join the Canadian Forces. He became Captain in the Royal Canadian Artillery. While leading his men into battle at Juno Beach on D-Day, Doohan was wounded in the leg and hand, and eventually lost a finger. For the remainder of the war, he became a pilot observer, and received the dubious distinction of being called the "craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Forces."

Hey CFran......Coolhand is over there somewhere ...... so if you see a crazed looking CPO mumbling about Spitfires and Mosquitoes...that's probably him

Had 45cm of snow on Saturday night with 90kph winds, had 25cm of snow last night with 70kph winds. Right now its RAINING with 70 kph winds. Heavy rain on top of 65cm (about 25 " for our US friends) is not a good thing. and it's Monday bleah

Yesterday at 0700 it was snowing heavily with 80kph winds from the NE and many roads were closed due to blizzard conditions ( and we don't use the word blizzard lightly ) by 1500hrs it was +9C and raining madly with 60kph winds from the SW.
Today it is -4C and blowing at about 60kph from the NE again, and the whole place is like a bloody great skating rink
I HATE WINTER

Believe it or not I hold the rank of Major in the CLB....the uniform has changed a bit since then though.......and no that is not me in the picture
-
Snowing & -6C this morning 50-80kph from the NE.....forcast says +9 & rain by supper with 80-100kph from the SW.......I wish the weather would make up its F#@&%ing mind
