Will be posting a thread on it if you're interested.

Another west coast welcome.
Some of the most beautiful sunsets were seen from the back door of 8 Platoon Cornwallis.

Other coast here as well - Victoria. Though high school and undergrad were in Halifax, some 40 years ago.

Well, hello neighbor! Nice to see that there's another enthusiast in this corner of the country! I'm near Halifax myself.

You have lots of interesting experience in your resume, looking forward to seeing you around the site.

Certainly hope you're battened down securely today. Good luck.
Thanks for the good wishes, we were out of power for 24 hrs (was predicted to be midnight Tuesday!) and spent the last couple of days cleaning up.

We made out much better than some folks, we lost 5 pretty good size spruce from around the property, one 75 ft high and I still have to count the rings. Broke off 6 ft up but thankfully fell away from the house. No damage other than that.

We were fortunate, there are still a lot of people out of power and out of house & home.
