You don't have to tell me...I'm already watching them

Are you going to bid on them ?

I don't want to get into a bidding war

Post by **joerg** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:24 pm

No! I´m not bidding on them! Just watch them too! I just like to see that there are still people out there that know the good old stuff! They jumped to 500USD in very short time!

Post by **joerg** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:25 pm

I never bid on items i got no use for! What´s the purpose of taking an item away from somebody that might have use for it!

Those Orion NT's are just nice to look at

I sold all of my Orion's, so I guess I don't need them either

It's very mentally draining to have 6 months of winter. It's so cold and crusty out, you spend no time outside beyond what it takes to clear the snow off your car. Home - Car - Work - Car - Repeat. The only time I get to be in the sun is on the weekends, which have been considerably colder than the weekdays all winter!

We had three days of REAL spring last month. I felt reborn!! I was happy as a pig in shit, laying out in the sun, riding my bike, messing with the car, etc. And then we went right back into winter... AND HOW!

That is why I am moving to Vancouver this year. The winters might be wet, but at least you can still go outside.

Dood, you call the mid 30* weather you were getting SPRING?? I'd call that "fuck it, I'm moving from this icy hell hole" weather!

The trippy part is... 30* is the HIGH temperature, which generally lasts from 2-4pm. Other than that it's much closer to the low temperature, which is usually a good 20-30* less. Today it was 5* in the morning, and it will be 40* this afternoon, only to drop back to 10* tonight. The temperature fluctuations here are crazy. That's one thing Vancouver really has going for it... since it's next to the ocean (large heat reservoir), you're lucky if the temperature changes 5-10* in a day.

The only thing I have to look forward to in spring, is that my drive back from work is a bit warmer. But by the time I get home and eat dinner, it's cold as hell out again. Spring in Calgary is much snowier than the rest of our winter, because it's finally warm enough for snow to fall. We get "normal" winter in spring, and our winter is just... dry, windy arctic tundra.

We rarely get a weather pattern called a "Chinook". Moist air from the coast is blown up over the rocky mountains, where it dumps all of it's moisture. The friction caused by this causes a very warm eastward wind that usually raises the temperature above freezing, sometimes for a few days at a time. Some years, we've had tons of Chinooks, and very mild winters. This year though, I think I can count them on one hand. Instead of Chinooks, we've just had the most ridiculously cold wind you could imagine, times ten. It pierces you through four layers of clothes.

Fuckin sucks.

The summers here are usually pretty awesome though... dry, steady heat, 70-80 degrees. Rain is rare, but when it rains, it POURS, and we have the wildest thunder sleet/hail storms you will see. In fact, the hail storms are so bad here, that insurance companies pay "cloudbusting" planes to fly into clouds, in order to disperse them before they cause too much damage. It's actually cheaper than paying for the repairs...

Dang dood. If there is one thing I hate about winter here it's the friggin wind. It may not be nere as cold as you guys get up there, but when it's below freezing with the wind blowing, and the humidity is over 50%, it covers you in a blanket of ice.
