No hydro poles in Saskatchewan.
We have power poles, telephone poles and targets.
I believe they are in the buck yard actually.
I’m sorry to hear that.
More times than I would like, I too have the dogs of depression biting at my heels. What’s really great is that since I started buying metalworking tools (Lathe, Mill etc…) the excitement of that has kept the dogs at bay over their usual winter appearance.
Better to buy tools than be depressed. Buying crappy tools would probably make me depressed though.
Nah, they do eat the evergreens in winter, but their main diet is browse on shrubs and grass from under the snow.
In summer and fall, they are corn and greens fed. It's the best tasting venison you will ever have. Even the old ones taste great. Most of the deer I have harvested were from the north. I don't know what I was thinking back then.

We are at Perry Sound, at a nice Comfort Inn. Passed 3,000km today.

Driving from Sudbury to PS in driving rain, against the wind in the dark. And 2 lane undivided, and people still left their high beams on(!!) I have a migraine. Time for a hot bath in a dim room.

Going to see @thestelster tomorrow just after noon. good times!

Had a great time with @thestelster
Then I made the (stupid) mistake forgetting Toronto has a rush hour, so we took the 404 to the East side - and paid the price - 90 minutes to cross North Toronto and Brampton using hwy 7.... Once on the 401, it was minutes to Guelph line exit!
I'm just not used to rush hour!
Now in Burlington for a few days. 3700 km so far,

Don't feel too bad the last few times I was in Toronto the traffic is so bad. A couple of guys told me rush hour in Toronto starts around 6am and ends around 8pm. I can't imagine doing that everyday. safe travels.

I know this first hand .
This all depends on your definition of rush hour. In my experience, the big rush to stop and take a nap in the middle of the highways in the Toronto area (Kitchener to Oshawa) starts around midnight and ends around midnight the next day.
On weekends there is an 8 hour overlap.
