My sympaties to one and all! When I left Zim I initially went to England, stuck out more winters than I thought I was able, then decided to get back to a warmer climate, so here I am a weather wimp!!

Man I can't beleive how cold 35 degrees feels this morning.. Good frost last night (Yeah, no more flies, or at least way less) and snow fluries this morninga s we were putting feed in the self feeders for the calves to eat... The wind just cut throw me, have to get the winter clothes out but it strikes me as odd, because come January, this will be what I consider a nice day... Amazing how you get used to it.
Going to freeze me arse off tonight sitting in a ground blind doing some deer hunting... But they should be moving.

You're kidding right Lilly? A toque (french for stocking cap, apparently) is what you wear to keep your head warm and your ears from dropping off while you are riding your toboggan down the hills (its a long wooden or aluminum sled with a curled up front).

I'm the Canuck you asked! :wink: Technically, that makes me a "Canuckette"!
Speaking of toques, that reminds me. I'd better wash it before I stick it back on my head this year. Gotta get rid of the cow cooties, don'tcha know!

Just to increase everyone's fund of worthless knowledge: Toque (or touque, or tuque) is indeed stolen from the french word for "woman's close fitting cap". But its origin is actually Spanish, from the word toca, which were those funky looking plumed hats they supposedly all wore back then.

Nope I'm not kiddin...we grew up callin em tabogins......course we don't have any snow or hills to ride one like your talkin bout...all we had growin up were the sandhills......ride down those on a wood board with formica on one side, waxed to a high gloss with gulf wax .....and weeeeeeeeeeeee off we went......summer winter spring or fall....we could do it year round and ya didn't hafta wear a tabogin except in winter.
Tabogin = same thang as a ski hat....some had face masks, some didnt. I hated them thangs......caused yer hair to have static electricity and when you took it off.....ALLLLL yer hair stood on end....snap cracklin n poppin
