Good morning all. We have rain here and temperatures around +5. Going to try going to work today, gotta get out of the house before I drive myself crazy thinking. Have a good day.

Good morning 0 and rain this afternoon. Well that was a slobbernocker of a storm 300,000 without power at one point about 60 thousand still without. I thought the old Costco garage was going off into the wild blue yonder a few times but its still here so once the sun shows up I will survey the damage around here in the neighbourhood. All I really care about is the Dart and the fifth wheel, the house is easily fixed if need be. Dan take it easy don`t be doing too much take care eh.
Have a great day

Good day Mopar brethren, not a bad here hihj of 3 and low 1, not much change for the day.

Reg good test for the Costco garage, if it can stand up to that kind of a storm it's got to be a fairly sturdy design.

Take it easy Dan, and have a good day.

TGIF boys and have a great weekend.

Thanks for the concern guys. I’m certainly not pushing myself, but I had to get something else on my mind. Good news is that I made it through the day. I did pick up my Nitroglycerin prescription to help me get through any chest pains.

[quote="Ragtacker"]Could you imagine the fuel bill? My 3270 Bayliner was 700 to fill and that was 6ish years ago, I`ll ask what a top off is for one of these floating palaces lol[/quote

I hear you on that my boat holds 2000 liters lol .

by Ragtacker Fri Dec 21, 2018 6:01 pm

I asked and I am pretty sure he said it holds 2000 liters...yikes.
I do all the upholstery and mattresses on these yachts. On this one we are building a custom L shape sectional so it will really be alot of fun to plan build and upholster this particular boat.

Good morning, yesterday early morning the low was -11 the high yesterday got up to 13, today the low was 6 and it is now 12. We used to have nice clean white snow but now we have some green lawns in spots and dirty and muddy snow and lots more water than we want. Today is mostly sunny except for the odd sprinkle here and there. Christmas does not have much of a chance of being white.

JG answered: Reg's Costco garage is wedged between the house and garage...if I remember correctly. That could be an advantage.

Have a great day to one and all!

Good morning 4 at the crack this morning and another wind warning headed our way for this afternoon/evening. Lots still without power, some of my friends are approaching 48 hours now. JG you are real close on your recolection it wedged between the neighbours garage(great folks) and our home. This spring I thought I should replace the roof as it began to look thin and when I pushed up on it my hand went through it! So I sewed a new roof then a front panel as well. I have replaced the tie downs with vinyl covered stainless wire and turnbuckles, the frame is awesome 2 inch powder coated aluminum, the cover was great for almost 2 years but the UV just eats up the covers now. As protected as it is between the 2 houses it still scared the beejeesus out of me watching it shimmy and shake. This next storm was not even on the radar 2 days ago now its going to be another pain in the ass all night.

Good morning, yesterday was real wet and got up to 12, lots of excess water in places. Today is cooler and more normal with sunny skies for now. Low was -3 with high being -2 to 0. Santa is going to need a whirley bird for the wet coast and east coast at least.
Have a great day to all guys and girls with wheels.

by Ragtacker Sun Dec 23, 2018 7:44 am

Good morning 6 raining but the wind has finally died down. JG the weather is gradually going to get a bit more stable over the next few days so Santa should be good to go here! I think I will enjoy an eggnog and rum today some football a junior hockey game and call it a day ya kinda like that.
Have a great day

by **smoken340** Sun Dec 23, 2018 10:47 am

Weather is a bit cool today, but it’s dry. We are supposed to get a little snow today but not much.Not doing much of anything today. Fighting off a flu now. Have a good day all.

by Ragtacker Mon Dec 24, 2018 6:01 am

Good morning its 9 its dark its wet its winter on the coast! Just want to take a bit here to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I really enjoy this forum although its not very busy it also has no drama which is wonderful in this day and age. We are all busy we all have so much stuff going on around us but I find taking a moment here to talk about the fkn weather or what the latest wth car issue is kinda makes my mornings kinda like meeting the guys for coffee or something. Theres a few health issues amongst the gang and I hope for those guys to get back on thier feet and have a healthier 2019.
Dan that flu as I am sure you are finding out is a real bugger, i know people that have had it for 2 weeks so please lay low watch a bunch of car shows and cruise the internet for more Mopar sites!
All the best boys
Merry Christmas

by JGL Mon Dec 24, 2018 8:12 am

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL

by mikes mopar Mon Dec 24, 2018 5:56 pm

Merry Christmas everybody. No white Christmas in Toronto. Been going over a week with this cold that won't let go, had to cancel dinner at my place because of it. Our mopar friends out in Vancouver Island hope you get over that storm. I see I'm the maritimes in going to get cold. Take it easy and have a good day tomorrow.

take a few pics along the way Reg i'm very interested . I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and enjoy your family's .

by Ragtacker Tue Dec 25, 2018 11:12 am

Merry Christmas, 7 and sunny but calling for snow overnight....we`ll see about that. Just sitting here by myself before mom arrives and before the kids arrive thinking what a lucky sob I am. Di and her sister are off seeing her mom at the home, poor ol gal is totally oblivious to who they are or what day it is..sad. This picture is from #1 son he has a friend who is a political cartoonist but does some commisions for friends so #1 son had him do this for me for Christmas like I said pretty lucky guy.
Still 16000 without power hope they are all ok and looked after.

You bet, I`ll keep a photo log of all the steps along the way on this yacht.
Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours

Good morning, bright sunny and cold. The day started at -14, now -10 ish and not much more for today. Sounds like a good day to stay inside.

Good evening all. Very cool here but they claim that we will reach +11 tomorrow. Well I have to see a heart specialist tomorrow, apparently they are going to inject radiation in my blood, its supposed to be able to find blockages and or any leaks. Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Enjoy the rest of your day/.
