Ric, you crack me up. You claim to have Canadian citizenship yet you asked what the C symbol was about. Then you try to enlighten us on your knowledge about where the two temperature scales meet.

My mother was/is a (French) Canadian citizen at the time of my birth, which instantly made me a Canadian citizen all I had to do was pay $200 and fill out 3 sheets of paper to validate it. Apparently I have 40+ relatives up around Montreal that I never met.

I was joking about the C symbol, 'Murica!

Went out on the boat to watch the rocket launch. Awesomely freezing time, mid 40's on the water is COLD!

Any photos of the launch, Ric?

One last oddity, is that vehicle rim diameters are still measured in inches in most cases, even on imported vehicles....

...and the width is measured in millimeters, but the sidewall height is measured in a percentage of the width. How's that for crazy? Always thought that was stupid.

We're finally warming up a little but just for today. Supposed to be 20 today. But we are enduring wicked winds with blizzard conditions all day. We went to town yesterday to stock up supplies to ride out this storm. Just around the corner from here, BANG! A front strut breaks on the wife's van. I'll be changing it in the driveway today. :twisted:

Warmed enough here in PA to allow me to thaw out my garage sink so that I could turn off the water at the valves and open up the faucets to prevent any damage due to freezing. 10 years living here and I have never had the water lines leading to that sink freeze. Barely ever goes below 40F in there. Could not believe it when it happened. Hoping my winterization holds up! If not I guess it is going to be a 5.7 upgrade spring
