Trade firewood for booze? Craigslist!

Just to add some Canadian content to this thread- it should be spelled litre not liter, or especially LIETERS.. By the same token the length of measure is the metre, a meter is a measurement device. Even though your American spell checker says I am wrong.

Canadian content? You're going to give us Canadians a bad reputation for wanting to correct people on the internet! LOL!

Quick question about the metric system;how tall are you and what is your weight? LOL!

Not correcting just poking some fun at our American friends. As they were at themselves.
As for the other 182.88X10 to the 19th zeptometres and .0000001 teragrams. Yes I am a big sum blitch...that is why I like BIG saws! LOL
How about you?

When I am at the doctors or at the auto registries and they ask and I say 5'11'' and 230lbs and then they ask for
metres and kgs. I tell them that I have no idea but somewhere around 2 metres and somewhere over 100kgs! LOL!

Why Kodiak? Were you out on the Rock for awhile?

Just for a little while. I still entertain thoughts of retiring there some day. I just don't know if I can get used to the idea of not burning hardwood anymore.

An entertaining notion, indeed. I wouldn't worry too much about the burnables, since the climate there is so mild that rubbing a couple of sticks together will suffice under most circumstances. If you haven't lived with it, I think that you'd find spruce and birch to be very much adequate. And someone needs to hang out on the waterfront and correct spelling and convert measurements for the fishermen. They may be shy at first about expressing their appreciation, but they will be grateful.

The climate is surprisingly cold and it is a very damp cold as you could well imagine. Friends of mine in northern Ontario burn almost exclusivly birch with a little hemlock thrown in for good measures, and believe me their house is never what you could call cold at anytime day or night.
Fishermen (what few exist) don't require much help with si conversions, and it could be said that their vocabulary rarely requires any spelling corrections. I would like to get on at Hibernia if I was to go before retirement...I feel my talents could be most usefully utilized in that environment!

I spent a winter there working in one of the outlying vils, and from my perspective, the climate seemed beneficent, but then cold/mild are relative terms, and I am partial to storms. One of my fancies is a straw-bale silo on the coast, flying point where the storms hit, above tsunami-level, but close enough to feel the ground vibrate when the whales sing. Achh, enough now, I'm feeling landlocked as it is.

Fishermen--an oft-and-no-doubt-unfairly-maligned group when it comes to higher-order thinking skills. Ex: "How does a Newfie count fish?" "One fish, two fish, another fish, another fish . . . "

Hibernia? The cable system? And shouldn't it be, "which few exist"?

Never seen anywhere like it for "glitter" or freezing rain...just nasty!
Not up on fiber optics, I am trying to get into the power engineer trade (4th class to start) So I would be more inclined to go to the refinery in Come By Chance...but wouldn't turn down oil rig work if there was any call for engineers out there. The Gander area(AFB) would be another possibility, and I still have relatives in that area.

Sure, makes sense to me that if the weather on Kodiak seemed nasty, you'd want to go to Newfoundland instead.
