CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Busy, busy. Even in the cold.

-17 C = +1.5 F, -25 C = is indeed -13 F. The coldest I experienced was about 20 years ago. I was in New Liskeard Ontario visiting customers in January; -48 C for about a 14 hour period, day time highs were -38 C. -48 C = -54 F (-40 C = -40 F).
This morning it is -15 C. This is a picture of or house taken yesterday afternoon:

Thank you. You’re so friendly. Beautiful house. You probably like being there. Very cozy looking. We had snow about five years ago. Sometimes it stays. Pretty proud of this. Brings out the mountain man.

Great photo!
Days are somewhat short here in the winter. With the snow on the ground, our nights seem not quite as dark.
Yes, very small, but cozy. My wife always says that the "smoke" coming out of the chimney makes it look warm (natural gas furnace and water heater). Next picture is from Highway 7 near forest taken on the 12th, that is about an hour south west of us:

here is our back yard and the neighbors. A rare photo I got from my wife. It was too cold to go out and spend much time, about 0 degrees Celsius. Looks kind of neat and we were all rejoicing. It was when our daughter was still alive. Surprisingly the yard is still short cut. And I think we had a fire that day, in the fireplace.

Unfortunately, I could not load your photo:
A lot of people have fire pits out doors to extend our backyard season. We have a propane fire table and roll-up awning and it is nice to sit out on a cool evening. 0 C is about our limit for sitting outside. Speaking of which, if it is clear this week, there are a couple days meteor showers are supposed to be visible. I'm uncertain it will stop snowing long enough. LOL.
BTW, I bought a bit of a rough project gun at an auction, really rough British Fouling Piece, single barrel, 20 ga. I'm going to clean it up with the intent to get it shooting, but if it is not good enough, it will make a wall hanger:

O-o-h thanks for the pictures. It’s a mzldr, with the. Long barrel. I’m in the market for one. Does this one have any difficult gunsmithing for you to do. My skills are limited. But with the price of mzldr these days a fixer upper might be a good idea. Where did you find it?
sorry about the picture but I think it’s a google or apple picture. Neat back yard shot. We can’t have open fires here- chaparral- fire prone. Every 50 years it turns into spontaneous combustion. But we have had them started by the electric company too. Thanks I guess I’ll switch gears and do a search on gunbroker. This year promises mild, probably no snow and not enough rain. 50s this week. But you’re tough. Did you hunt this year?

No worries about the photo. I bought the shotgun at a local auction, $50 Canadian ($35 us), it is very rough, bottom rib needs reattached, rear tang on the trigger guard is broken off (tig welding), needs a serious cleanup, stock repairs., nipple has been dry fired to pieces. Only time will tell if it will shoot again. I hope so as it has a great feel and points naturally.
