Winter is a reality we have to live with here in Canada, and some places get it worse than others. Our country is so large, the scope of winter ranges drastically, from cities that barely see freezing, to towns that see temperatures sub -60. My home town sits somewhere right in the middle of that. Throughout the winter we will see a constant fluctuation, ranging from 0° to -40°, but this year we hit -33° before the lakes were even frozen. This is a strange occurrence, but it provides some remarkable views. At this temperature, water does not behave as you would expect it to. The temperature of the lakes and rivers remain slightly above freezing, but the extreme temperatures above create steam, almost as if the water was boiling.
I have not been overly excited to be staying home for the winter, but when you get to see things like this, I can not complain. I had so much fun racing around the Cariboo and Chilcotin, making this video and taking in the beautiful sites. I also had to leave town for a week and deal with some tax realities that come with this line of work. I hate to see the truck project sit for a week when there is still so much to do, but I am happy to be back home and back at the build.
The killer dowl pin is a job I have been kind of dreading, but in the end it was really not too bad. These type of jobs look very intimidating, but if you can tackle it one bolt at a time, it becomes quite manageable. I am very thankful to have so many people supporting this project as well. Chucks Auto in Williams Lake has jumped onboard with some big support, as well as First Truck Centre. I feel truly honoured to have this support from my home town and the big businesses. I knew this truck would be a big undertaking, and I have been preparing for it, but this support means we can make it even better than I imagined.
