We've got arctic air moving south bringing a windchill temp of -43C. (Actual is -31C). SOMEBODY south of me sucks big time. Yeah, well, thanks for the heads up, and the weather. Temps here in S.Ont. have dropped from +6C to -6C over the course of about half a day with windchill to -15C, and it's forecast to hit real -20C tonight. Sigh. |

Okay, who's got the gloat?
Hi Josh, I wrote back yesterday but I must of hit a wrong button because it
never went through. I actually have done quite a bit of hunting and fishing but have never met up with a game warden. I used to go up to Wallagrass (and still do on occasion) for partridge hunting. I'm sure it would be interesting to meet your dad some day, I'm always looking for insight from more experienced woodworkers. If you're ever in Presque Isle and got some spare time look me up! Jeff "Josh" wrote in message oups.com... P.I._Maine wrote: Cool! I graduated in '89 from Fort Kent!! It's a small world! I'll have to check you out in my old year book. Do you still have relatives up here? Looking forward to the dog sled races coming up in March. Hard to come by woodworkers up here in northern Maine. Too bad you're in NC. Jeff Morneault I looked you up this morning, and I recognize you. Definitely a small world. My parents still live up there. My mom teaches at Fort Kent HS, but she wasn't there when you were. My father is one of the most talented woodworkers I've ever met; I wish I had a tenth of his skill. I can send you his email address if you're ever looking for a good resource in the area. If you've ever done any hunting or fishing in Wallagrass or Eagle Lake, you might know him. He was the game warden there for 20 years. Of course, that also might change your opinion of him. ;-) Josh |

And it's in the man page, so consider me red. er -- email not valid |
