I'm happy that the friends I've got up there made it out. From what they can tell, their house is okay, but their business is likely gone. But everyone made it out alive. Hope you guys have all been able to get in touch with your peeps from Ft. Mac, because, drat.

For what, I'm not sure but it sounds like Griffons are flying non-stop out of CFB Edmonton. Verified with some friends who deal with this stuff for a living. Makes zero difference on ability to access federal funds. And the mayor declaring it is enough anyways, even if it were the case. Be safe folks.

I think you are doing a charcoal/wood roaster, correct? If so, get a nice hot roaring fire stoked in it for a few hours. Throw some bacon in or something to grease it up early. First cooks always end up funny, so if you "waste" the first cook on something, the pig'll be better for it.

Slung Blade posted:Yeah, charcoal with wood, will definitely do a burn in. It'll likely flake off, but I'd do it anyways. Gives it a layer of protection before the smoke/grease form a loving bond of happy flavor. Definitely do a pre-smoke/heat up to burn off any leftover chemical poo poo, and to see how it holds heat, etc. I'd legit find the cheapest, fattiest chunk of meat you can get that you don't mind "Wasting" and do a big pre-smoke before anything expensive. Lets you get a feel for heat distribution, hold/burn times, etc. And gets that nice greasy-smoke layer going. gently caress I wish I was out in AB to hang with you guys hahah.

Otherwise, even with oil at like $40 a barrel, it was $1.10 or higher. And somehow, when oil recovers to $100 a barrel, we'll be paying $2 a liter... I hate this place hahah.

slidebite posted:Do guys have a stand-alone Carbon tax? Albertas gasoline is going to jump by 4.5c per liter Jan 1. Carbon tax is coming in Jan 1st for us as well. We just get hosed on gas. This is also why people (general public not myself in particular) hate on Alberta. How is oil in the shitter, but gas hasn't really dropped? I'd guess its the companies trying to keep the bottom end going by subsidizing extraction with post-production revenue (albeit I still feel hosed a little), but a lot of people see "Alberta's in the shitter" yet the pump price never changes. Basically, don't come here. Its horrible, and once mining recovers and the wife can get a job elsewhere...I want to get the gently caress outta dodge.

ExecuDork posted:I've lived in four provinces so far, based on my driver's license history, and my quality of life has never been affected in a noticeable way by the price of gas. I don't drive for a living (I know some of the goons ITT do) and I've never regularly commuted by car, so my exposure to gas prices is relatively low. Problem is, where I am, price of gas highly affects the price of...everything. I'm not even that "remote" and I'm approximately 50-60% more expensive for food than my brother in Ottawa (I'm up near Timmins, Ontario). When gas jumps, my groceries jump within a week. When it drops, they slowly go back to 110% of what they were. We also put a lot of km on, and even with a somewhat fuel efficient vehicle, we notice the price fluctuations. To be fair, we get hosed on everything in Ontario - never live here (unless its Toronto-Ottawa-alongthatcorridor) because holy gently caress we just don't exist/matter to anyone. Rambling and bitching about my inferior Province in the AB thread :P

McTinkerson posted:Another thing to add that no one ever even thinks about is a dehumidifier or at the very least an exhaust fan connected to a humidistat. When your garage is at the minimum insulated, ever time you park your vehicle's in there in the winter and all that snow and ice on them starts melting, things are going to start rusting way quicker due to the spike in humidity. This man quotes truth. You then either need to flush all your nice, expensive warm air, or just deal with it. Get something to vent it/suck it out of the air and enjoy eternal happiness.

Fuuuuuck. I'll take this mild (so far) winter NE Ontario has had. I do not miss that frigid cold bullshit. Also, gently caress Canadian Tire and their "Battery Warranty". Fuckin crooks. Time to just buy a new battery for the truck, since the 3-ish-year old one in there goes hosed as soon as the temperature drops below -25C or so. Then 15 minutes on a trickle charger to warm it up, and its fine. Things like a goddamn iPhone with how it hates the cold.
