Non Electric Fridge and a look at Curling along with a outlook on Life

<< < (2/2)

HH,
I never played curling but it looks like fun. I think there may be some consuming of adult beverages involved. Here is a picture of the 80lb stones they use. Looks like a warmup is coming soon so all this Winter stuff may be gone in a Month or so.
Take care,
brian

Another Winter time sport up here is snowsnake. It is played by Members of the Iroquois and they look like they take it very serious. Weighted spear like darts are thrown down a frozen slightly elevated icy track (not the best description) and I believe the object is to "throw / slide" your shaft the farthest. I have only seen it in videos but would love the opportunity to try it sometimes. Maybe someone on this board has some experience playing the game?

Russ:
about curling, with the target i believe its a huge game of sorry or trouble or whatever its called. try to get your stone on the bullseye and try to knock others stones out of it.

this was probably my favorite video!

Looks cool. Why take dap so early in season?

My grand dad cut it with hand saws and then hauled it on horse drawn sleds. Went into a stone block building that was half in ground Filled with sawdust from sawmill. I guess it was easy $ cuz it was right in front on his cabins on lake and main house was up hill across dirt road.

We use to make many gallons of maple syrup in March mostly had a stone firepit and large custom stainless pan with mesh cover 5’x6’ maybe. Back when you did buckets not pec lines. We barreled it and hauled it to pit. Last refinement was done on a propane outfit.

I like making cider vs syrup. Both are hood but nuthing like fresh mixed apple cider. I showed my wife last year how to make it after i found a bunch of wild trees that had lots of fruit.

Shawn~
