Mainiac Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Been traveling again and now back home. We are in winter and having a tough go of it. We recently had a bad ice storm ( rain that freezes on contact). 50000 people without electricity which means not power lights water or heat ). currently -30 c with a wind chill of - 40 -50 c good lagering weather ;) As some of you know I ride snowmobiles a lot but this season I have been grounded since I rolled my sled at about 40-50 mph and this is how my arm looks Hopefully I can recover soon and my wife lets me out to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back Mainiac - maybe best you stay indoors for a while :-) We're currently at the other extreme here - X marks my spot. Red figures are temperature (Celcius)' date=' blue ones the wind speed and direction, and the green ones are the rain!!! Good DRINKING weather...

antiphile Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yikes. I'm glad I'm near Newcastle (Aus) today. My brother-in-law is at Summerholm, my sister-in-law at Boonah, my parents at Brisbane, and I lived for 12 years in Towwoomba. I just hope Maniac is staying inside and keeping warm (I was in Mitchell, Western Qld when it was -10C three nights in a row and that was not much fun), and Ramjet doesn't have any brews down at the moment. Take care wherever you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramjet Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Shame on me - I've not been keeping my profile/brewery fully up to date. For privacy reasons, I morphed yesterday from RogerH4 to Ramjet, but I do in fact have a beautiful winter brew fermenting at 13C at present - 'Mr Sinister'. (Now if only the brew fridge was bigger, I could "sit in the fridge for 24hrs" with it!!!) Had a nice session yesterday afternoon (also a hot stinker of a day) - One of my new Steam Beers, followed by a nice clean straight 'Lager' after I'd done my quota of outside work for the day, and rounded off with a georgeous ESVA while I watched a movie on telly. Next stop - 'My Profile" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 That is very harsh weather there Mainiac. :( Do you guys have your own backup generator there? I've heard they are a good idea given the conditions you guys sometimes experience in the winters there, with power outages etc. Petrol-based, car/truck battery started. As for the arm bruising, stop trying the full back-flip on the snowmobile in a last ditch attempt to make the Winter Olympics team! Hehehe! :D Cheers & good lagering (since you can't do much else atm!) :P Seriously, stay warm, & stay safe Mainiac. Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainiac Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I do have a back up generator and a wood pellet stove. The only problem is last time we lost power I did not think to move my beer out of the basement and up stairs. I froze a bunch of it :( It is suppose to warm up to -10 celsisus tomorrow so I should be in shorts washing the a car. ps is there a way I do not have to type in my log on everytime? The old site I never had to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muleyinoz Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yikes, Ouch, and Stuff you can't print! Glad you are OK but looks like your drinking arm is out of commission for a bit. Hope your you have plenty of brew stashed away to get you by mate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Eh!L Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 As some of you know I ride snowmobiles a lot but this season I have been grounded since I rolled my sled at about 40-50 mph and this is how my arm looks I hate sleds!! I'm often asked to do some rediculous stuff on a sled for the sake of getting to work. I'd say that operating a sled has injured me more often that any other aspect of my job. I think people who snowmobile for fun are crazy! I'm glad I get paid to do it, although it's still not enough. I don't own a sled of my own and I don't think I ever will.
