breaking the ice...

so i had a busy day today, first off was changing light bulbs. The emergency exit signs in the store happen to die... a long time ago. it finally got sighted last year, so I'm fixing it today, about a month before they come check the fire extinguishers. 2 are no problem standard bulbs for an emergency exit. But the one right at the front door is older. I did a little research and learned no one has made that kind of bulb since the 50's....

Then the normal lights. Easy as pie when i can remember fix of the fixtures is broken and which tricks to work on each. I remembered all the tricks to get the touchy one's going. I keep forgetting the 2 broken fixtures down in camping...

After lunch I'm told to grab my coat and head with the boss. Mystery trip! good for about 30 min of non-customer work. Get told to grab a flat bladed metal shovel. On the way out i called back to the cashier "Off to take care of the bodies" nice thing about this time of year, not many customers....

Nice hour worth of ice chipping.... 5 inches... solid. it's plus 4 C and there is no thawing the blasted ice...

*steps on soap box*
Other news, I watched the most Canadian movie i have ever seen. it would have been awesome if even one character in the film was Canadian.... Every single Canadian Actor/Actress was playing the role of a Stater... even while in the story they go to Canada the only lines by a Canadian character were the hot dog vendor.... one of the few parts in the film played by a Stater...
