    I received half of my order of 10 days ago from CorrosionFree, the other half hopefully arrives here tomorrow, probably delayed in Detroit last week
    included was a generous sample of this Nut-Z lube
    what are the many uses for it? I am thinking the hood latch and the notorious squeaky doors i have in the humid spring
    any other good ideas to try it out on? ... i have some crusty bed bolts & nuts to possibly soak them before I have to remove Taco bed in the spring

    Penguins are fun but tough to find here. Wolverines are more of a challenge.

    Hey Team Canada, what's north of Fort Mcmurray? It looks like a road all the way up to Richardson Lake. I've read about the mozzies being hell in Alaska during the summer, is it the same far north in Alberta? I'm thinking way out (summer 2022) but a drive far north as we can go then saunter back taking all the sights in.

    Like every good planner, I've discussed nothing with my wife. Ha ha

    The answer is Yes. Just as bad if not worse at times. Strangely, as you move towards the Saskatchewan side the Blackflies move in. Sky grows dark with ‘em. Almost need body armour to protect from blood loss.

    I briefly considered this on our move to Colorado next year but we'll be driving in March. With a pregnant wife. And towing a trailer. I think we will beeline it to Colorado and plan accordingly afterwards.

    I've always wanted to pick a road north into Canada and just take it as far as I can just because. I've visited Toronto but I think we can all agree that's only Canada by geographical requirements...

    That’s kinda like taggin’ up third base before you try to steal home plate. It counts, but just.

    Also a warning. The road north of Fort McMurray is somewhat seasonal. Past a certain point they don't open it until freeze up.

    Right now there are checkpoints on that road. Locals and people traveling for work only. Even next summer I doubt they'll ease up restrictions, especially for foreigners.

    Oooh, super good point, I never considered the roads that far up would be seasonal but that makes perfect sense. And yeah yeah, covid and borders. One day Team Canada, we shall share a pint like family again!

    I need to know about Yellowknife. I’m looking at taking an assignment there next summer.

    Check the sunrise sunset of december and june. Also check average temps. Groceries are expensive. Everyone has studded tires in the winter.
