yesterday with the wind chill it was -50c so we did not doing anything except try and stay warm. the sun only comes up at 9am and it setting by 4pm so taking pictures makes it even harder. but we did get a few loose ends completed so we can go on an over night camping trip. the short video from yesterday is on youtube.

yesterday was a lot warmer then the day before and we got lots done at -30c. we had to clean off the deck sleighs and hand load the barrels which i can still feel on my back this morning as i write this. next we hooked on to the 2nd caboose to do a test fit on the cat train trail. it has been 2 years since the cabooses were down the trail because of the covid lock downs that is when the world stopped for us. the staff took nice photos of me being up in age working hard up and down the ladder trimming the trees which would make the Swedish Kid happy. full video of us freezing to death on youtube.

while i was freezing my a*s off in the Kingdom trying to mount the LED light bars on the welding sleigh which took 3 times as long in the extreme cold. the staff was at her house doing the Siberian Russia experiment that tourist do when visiting. the food freezes fast enough that it will even hold a fork up being so cold. the Kingdom and WHO-ville have the same weather, the same boreal forests, the same muskeg, the same wild animals as Siberia Russia including the government which i am calling Stalin's Russia to even get the same roads too. oh well complete video of me freezing to death to get so little done here on youtube.

yesterday was a nice day at -32c but felt like -43c to start the Famous Black Cat and do a little speed dragging. plus the weather network say we are in an extreme cold weather warning which makes it feel even colder. once the dragging was done we moved the 2nd caboose to be with the other cabooses to make it look like we are big time winter freighters again. full 16 minute video on youtube.

it was a nice day yesterday to get the D6 9U known as The Hood up and running at -30c to move some sleighs around. since our sun only rises and sets in the south with only 6 hours of day light it is hard to get good pictures. but we did get enough for a 20 minutes video on youtube.

Dec 04 2022 update 7:49am
it was cold on saturday because the slight breeze made it feel even colder then when we had the -41c. the staff did not bother with her ski-doo because she knew it would not start because of the new world battery which is junk. i drove her in the Book Burb to get the weekly food supplies then fill up the Book Burb and 4 gerry cans at $1.55 a litre which came to $243.95 cdn funds. it was too cold to work outside so i mixed up some "red" paint since i am colour blind then finished painting in the caboose. full youtube video here

our first real cold day of the winter was yesterday which meant we did very little other than stay warm. we used to be able to order from Sir Rodney at westrans in winnipeg 1200kms away and receive the next day. now in the new world we live in means order on monday and receive on friday through the post office. we have now learned not to plan anything right away but to do it when the parts or supplies arrive. we have the new LED lights to be mounted on the 41 4x4 truck and welding sleigh to make things bright for any filming we do at night. the video of staying warm here on youtube.

yesterday while it was cold in the morning at -31c, i decided to play with water to show that hot water freezes faster than cold. i made a mistake by using too much water volume but i did show that the battery powered clock dies in the cold weather. plus it warmed up very quickly during the day which did not help with the freezing of the water. i forgot the term used named after the fellow in africa who discovered this but a Kingdom Follower told me it is the Mpemba Effect. not sure how a fellow in africa figured it out because it is such a hot place not a frozen wasteland where i live. it only took 12 hours to turn the frozen water back to a liquid in a bowl on the kitchen counter. plus during the heat of the day of -23c, we started the wood stove in the caboose for the first time in 30 years. full video here on youtube.

because of the nasty wind the day before that blew in the back drive way to the Kingdom, we had to start the Famous Black Cat at -30c yesterday. i did not let the thermometer be outside long enough to get the correct temperature but the cat did start. once stated and warmed up, we pulled the chain drag with the big tires on the back to prove that tires do nothing in the form of making a road better. once finished the fun outside, it was back in the caboose to weather strip the door using trucker's tie down straps that Sir Rodney has sent up from westrans in winnipeg. the best weather stripping money can buy in the new world we now live in. my second book of my hot rod or Naughty Natalie book series is on for being FR*E for the next 3 days.

with the cold weather coming we had to drag the dog walking trails to get the fresh snow to firm up. i was "allowed" to ride the staff's ski-doo because she did not want to be in the pictures or film. only 2 passes with the pallet being dragged behind the ski-doo and the dog trail will be rock hard like a cement side walk in the big city over night. once the fun on the ski-doo was finished it was back to working on the caboose with installing the wood stove and heat shields. full youtube video here.

it was a nasty day yesterday weather wise so i hid in the shop to whip up a wood stove for the caboose. i built this one like all the other stoves in the past out of recycled steel. at 7pm at night the new wood stove did a test fire outside to get the paint and oil burnt off over night. then in the morning when the staff arrives we can put the wood stove in the caboose because the cold weather is coming. my second book of my hot rod or Naughty Natalie book series is on for being FR*E for the next 5 days.

sunday was another warm day in the Kingdom which we got a lot of work done on the original winter freighting caboose. the staff showed up to clean off the shelves so i could splash the paint around at the end of the day. full video on youtube of the fun and explaining my ex-fiancé too.

with the motor changed in the 41 4x4, it needed good spring shocks on the front to stop the bouncey bouncey. that was no problem because 8 years ago i got the wrong parts shipped to the end of the world which cost more money to return then the cost of the parts. it only took a few minutes to weld the spring shocks on with the 41 4x4 hanging from the Green Toy. now the 41 4x4 looks and drives normal with the spring shocks all around. we also have a fox in the Kingdom that thinks he is a billy goat by jumping up on all the vehicles and sleighs. i have never seen a fox jump this high just to check out what is on top. i hope to get film and pictures of this fox soon. yesterdays fun in the youtube video thansk

in the heat of the day of 0c, we finished changing out the motor on the 41 4x4 to the junk yard 350. the test drive was in the dark which makes it all the more fun. there is a big different in power and sounds compared to the lame-ass 305 that we had tossed in the truck a year ago. but i do give the 305 credit for starting and running not like the IH motor that never started and ran for over 10 years no matter how much money i tossed at it. the youtube video is here.

it was a warm day yesterday in the Kingdom with it melting but we did change out the motor on the 41 4x4 using the M816 known as the Green Toy. we are not buying 4 new batteries for the Green Toy at $250.00 each landed at the end of the world only to have then fail in a year just like the new batteries we bought 2 years ago. there is no quality in batteries any more and we have batteries 10 years old in the Kingdom still starting the old cats. so just like the SR-71 Blackbird plane of the usa air force, we boost the Green Toy with the 48 sedan delivery as if we are living in the 1950s all over again. once up and running the staff operated the Green Toy while i was the ground crew on changing the motors out. full video on youtube here

it was a warm day yesterday so we took the Rat Rod out of a spin on the winter road. these was basically a 2km trip that the back wheels spinning went 200km because of the lack of traction. once back in the Kingdom, we popped the motor of the Rat Rod because the 41 4x4 needs it more. complete 21 minute video here on youtube.

yesterday was way too warm but we had to drag the fresh snow on our winter road to show the world how use-less a tire drag is. i compare a tire drag to dragging the ex-wife behind on a crazy carpet because that is about same results. then the new HEI ignition on the Linn Tractor acted up and cause the motor to quit. Thor the plow truck was used to tow the Linn Tractor back to the Kingdom. the 37 minute youtube video is the longest video we have made to date which is longer then my honeymoon.

the staff went shopping yesterday morning on her ski-doo with the toboggan only to pick up $316.00 cdn money in supplies. most of the items were on sale that she bought and we usually don't purchase to eat but it all about survival. the beer truck did not make it this week at all due to road conditions, computer-DEF-re-gen issues that would not happen 20 years ago. so with no fresh beer from the south, we had to buy the old left over stock on the shelves. yes the case of Labbatts 150 beer had dust on the box but beer is beer in theory. the only memories i have of the Labbatts 150 is seeing it in the family photo album with it being in the pictures of me being breast fed and wearing a poopie diaper. my winter road book that tells about my fame from Ricochet Hill on Ice Road Truckers is FR*E as an ebook.

since we dragged our winter road with the Double Z Drag and the Linn Tractor, we had to test it 24 hours later. the best vehicle to test the snow conditions was the 48 sedan delivery with 1 wheel drive and all season "smooth" tires. the only problem we had it snowed overnight plus got very windy which is a calm windy day in the south. the 48 sedan delivery was to drive along to find any soft spots because the snow we dragged was sugar that now firmed up. but we built the road perfectly and the 48 sedan delivery just drove along through the fresh snow as if it was the 1950s all over again. because of how it was so windy, the videos the staff recorded had wind noise on it.

we had the linn tractor out pulling the Double Z Drag with the tires on the back to make the drag cut the ground even more to make it smooth. we also proved how use-less the linn tractor is with traction and steering problems. the sun being in the south low in the sky gave us good pictures. the full 23 minute video of the fun we had yesterday.

it was a loose ends kind of day in the Kingdom which i got a lot of things done. i made a video pointing out how the Linn Tractor is unless like a lawyer because they are highway truck for the bush and need a support cat along all the time. plus the staff and i are the only ones left in the world that have used and worked the linn tractors in the bush hauling freight. the video got lots of views and reviews last night on youtube. it only took 2 days to melt the ice and muskeg off the big wheels for the 41 4x4 truck which is another reason why we don't like sinking anything any more because too much time and money wasted clean up the machine. i had to use the mini Hoe to put the tires in the box car until they are needed. the last picture is the propane tiger torch that turns in to a flame thrower when the propane gas turns to a liquid.

it was a boring day in the Kingdom which we thought there would be excitement with taking the TD-6 known as Aggie for a swim. but the muskeg was frozen solid even if the Double Z Dragg was pulling hard. the little cat walked right over the muskeg and the drag cut all the ruts off to make it smooth. then we did a little more dragging to finish up the day with moving the Linn Tractor up to the shop. full 23 minute video which will require popcorn and beverage to watch.

we had to use the mini Hoe to find the Double Z Drag in the snow plus use the Hoe to un-stick the drag from the ground too. once we had the Double Z drag ready it was time to fire up the TD-6 known as Aggie since he is a southern Ag cat from the south. we were not sure if the little cat could pull the Double Z Drag because the cat is a little small for the weight being pulled. but Aggie had no problems and we got some nice videos here.

sunday fun was back to the muskeg to fill in the ruts made by the 41 4x4 with water. we even towed the yamaha ski-doo along so the staff could take videos from riding in the A/DC sleigh. once on the muskeg the 2nd creek gave us lots of water and we were able to give the muskeg one complete flooding. for a snack on the muskeg, we had the "cooler" with left over chicken wrapped in "foil" like in the video by "Weird Al" Yankovic but we did not bring any tin foil hats. my 5th book in my winter road series is on for FR*E which is my 15 seconds of fame.

it was only going to be a warm -20c over night but we woke up to almost -30c instead. we had nothing plugged in so they would start so the diesel heater had to be used to get the 48 sedan delivery up and running to go shopping. there was no sense in even trying the new style 2013 Book Burb with all the computer stuff. a little heat and several pumps of the gas pedal and the 48 sedan delivery started no problem. last day for my 14th book being FR*E.

a simple little fun project of drive the 41 4x4 across the frozen muskeg did not end well due to the lack of power in the 305 motor with the lame-a*s camshaft. but we are still surprised that the motor starts and even runs because it was in the scrap pile. the Green Toy was made for off road recovery so it was a simple job with no dramas.

for remembrance day, we made a 11 minute video of the 7 military items in the Kingdom from airplanes, cats and trucks.i was surprised that i had that many living at the end of the world. the Beech 18 is a 1944 and flown by the ladies of WASP which are the not the groupies for the rock band W.A.S.P. with Blackie Lawless. the red crane cat i have owned since 1987 and it is a 1941 used my the US Navy. then the D7 4T which we built 13 miles of ice road to get across the lakes to good ground. it is not a D7 3T because the 4T were military issue. my 14th book is FR*E as an ebook

it was a nice day yesterday at -22c, we had to drag the muskeg ice road which had the fresh snow. we used the yamaha ski-doo pulling a wooden pallet to drag the snow to fill in the low spots. the pallet works good and when damage beyond being use-able then the wooden pallet goes in the wood stove. of course any muskeg that we did not soak down with the water hose is still not frozen because the muskeg is warm and the deep snow insulates it from freezing. hard to believe my 4th book in the winter road series is based on the year 2012 which if FR*E as an ebook.

finally yesterday the forklift known as the Rut Maker was loaded up and head south where it belongs. it was a surprise call from Dr. Hook Towing that they had a tilt deck in the area doing a recovery due to the slippery fresh snow. i had to heat the forklift and give a little boost with Thor the plow truck which made the forklift fire right up. then i had to find the other pallets of parts to go south in the snow. when the tilt deck tow truck arrived it was only 30 minutes to load because we were ready and the driver knew what he was doing. now the forklift can be fixed properly in the south with the electrical problem so it will start when it is not warm. my 4th book in the Ice Road series is on for being FR*E for the next 5 days.

it was a fun day yesterday in the cold temperatures of -22c which we made a cold day video for youtube. this was for my Kingdom Followers in australia and new zealand to see and understand how we live. it was cold in the morning with day light at 9am. then we did a little ski-dooing on the flooded muskeg to see how it froze up. then at 4:30pm it was getting dark and we went in to WHO-ville to pick up the pony for a walk in the Kingdom. the 48 sedan delivery performed well in the cold temperatures. last day for my 3rd book in my ice road series for being FR*E.

it was a boring day in the Kingdom yesterday so we will celebrate with it being 1 week ago Sir Rodney took care of a little problem. he picked up the promo bike on a saturday and asked for the paper work 3 times so insurance could be purchased. one would think the builder would have the paper work ready so a cash paying customer could buy insurance for a fresh build incase of an accident. the insurance company would want the original builder to do the repairs since he was the builder to get the same quality of work done. the paper work was to be emailed on monday which we knew would never happen. Sir Rodney went to unload the promo bike out of his ford truck when he returned to winnipeg but the junk yard starter jammed in to the ring gear to grind it self to death. that was when Sir Rodney made over 20 minutes of unedited video of all that was wrong with the bike. that was when it was decided to cube the promo bike to end it once and for all. i have $42,000.00 invested in a "cube" which is now being called the "coffee table" with nobody getting a ride, no videos being made. it had to be ended because it was going to take another $10,000.00 to be able to go for a legal ride which was not worth it when the promo bike has no vin numbers. Sir Rodney has now begun the build of the replacement bike because i am not wasting any more time with custom bike shops thinking they build a quality product. the last thing i need to do is another product review on the replacement bike to have matching "coffee tables". my 2nd book in the winter road series is on for being FR*E
