Man I was whinin awhile ago that it was 31. That is probably a heat wave for them.

What do you do up there. it sounds like you are a crab fisherman, the way you said you got a few months off.

just checked the temp its -28.9 °F
ive been on boats since i was 2 months old for the last 3 months maybe 4 ive been captain on a boat on the salt lake in utah they have a brine shrimp egg harvest down there in the summer i gilnet usually in the winter i do non destructive testing (xray ultrasonic eddy current magnetic particle etc) on pipeline or anything metal on the north slope but havent done that since last february. never liked crabbing done it once have an opportunity to do it again this year but the captain is one of those guys that likes to scream and yell. ill either go to bristol bay or the prince william sound for the summer. the bristol bay job also requires me to go to kodiak for a month. i think im just gonna go to the sound though. if all goes as planned ill have my own boat by next year then im never gonna work a regular job again ill just fish which isnt work to me

Do your balls hibernate? Mine usually don't leave their den 'till about March. Seriously, when peeing outside a guy has to be careful not to shake it too hard. You'll snap the knob right off. ha! This winter has been harsh in Alberta.
