Snow

I'm in Campbell River tonight but when I get back yo Gold River I will post pictures of the snow covered roads I traveled on to get to Campbell River so I could get a new windshield again. The rocks this year have been bad. So Pictures await.

What to say?????

I have been doing this blog for over a year now and am finding that there are times and long periods when I don't blog. This I guess could be because I was never really a journal er when growing up, or nothing really exciting happens here. There are times when life just seems way to routine here.

Now that it is a new year I guess it is time to get on here again. Well I finally have water again as of late yesterday but there was a dripping pipe that lead into my hot water tank. The guys who got the water running didn't want to deal with that as well yesterday. Its a good thing I know people. Romeo came to the rescue and fixed it in 2 minutes, it was leaking at a valve that turned would cut the water off from entering my place from the main line through the ceiling. Apparently it just needed to be tightened.

After a fitful sleep I felt like I really never did get into a deep sleep my alarm went off and it was back to work after a couple weeks off over the Christmas break. No one really wanted to be here and we are all dragging our butts. The band office is closed today due to a funeral so it is very very quiet. And to top it off it started snowing 45 minutes ago, the weather forecast is for rain. But there is a snow fall warning for the island so I shouldn't be to surprised to see snow. I should bring in my camera to work the long house has had a bunch of work done on it and I should add more photos.

Pipes

GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....
It might be time I moved. NO water AGAIN...... This time they can't figure out why I don't have water. I need HELP.

Weather

It's 2300 hours (11 pm) Christmas Eve and I just checked Drive BC to see how what the road conditions are in Gold River since I plan on going home day after tomorrow. I might have to call up and see if the road is passable as here is the road report currently....
Muddy with slippery sections
Water pooling
Heavy Rain Fall
And of course that is for both directions in and out of Gold River ugh I don't like winter for a reason.

Mountains

I think the snow is beautiful as long as it stays where I want it to be and it can snow all it wants on the mountains just please not where I want to talk my car!!!!!

Winter Came

This is the first snow dump of the winter season. It came at the beginning of December.

Above is the view I get as I make a run for my car every day.

The Long House and yes the guys have been out working on it even in this weather. Yes we all think they are nuts as they don't use safety harnesses and it looks way to dangerous in dry weather let alone adding snow to the mix.
What our vehicles look like after a few hours of winter..........

We almost didn't make it home for lunch...

Below is the road out of Gold River a few days after the now fall...
