[Alberta's Child]

An old friend of mine who works in the logging business out in western Canada once told me that there is nothing more miserable in life than changing the oil in his heavy equipment out in the field when it’s -30 or colder. Holy smokes — I’m freezing cold even just thinking about that.

I can’t even imagine what -30 feels like, or how anyone functions in freezing conditions like that.

We have to pack it in when it hits 37 because any colder and our fingers go numb. We’ve already blocked out Monday because the daytime high is only going to be about 30.

“than changing the oil in his heavy equipment out in the field when it’s -30 or colder.”

...especially when you have to wait a day for it to drain! I’m changing the oil in the car tomorrow, and I will have to take it out on the road for a bit first...

My husband hunted deer in Alberta Canada. I went with him on one of those hunts. I took my south Texas hunting clothes, a down jacket and a pair of wool socks. That was fine, right? It was the first of November for Heaven sake, that should be enough!

The temperature was -20 and the wind was blowing so hard you could barely stand up. I nearly froze to death! Yikes! I like cold weather, Texas cold weather!
