What's the temp? If you need fresh air and a walk, crack a window and get on the treadmill.

We also ended up going out for a wintery trail walk of 1 hr 40 mins.

My friend's wife (and mine) were trailing us and she snapped this pic. I'm not quite sure if these trees would fit in our living room or not. 
My friend of 25+ years and I were discussing the wonderful, exciting topic of estate probate (he is currently running through the joy of being his uncle's executor), as well as how to settle into a "retirement investor" mindset vs an "I'm working and accumulating" investor one. Things like draining down your RRSP in a tax efficient manner instead of waiting to convert it to a RIF at 71 and its associated mandatory withdrawals, TFSAs (designating spouse as successor rather than beneficiary) , having a joint non-registered trading account vs an individual one (income splitting and probate avoidance), and what kinds of investments go in each of the investment buckets/rooms to help best manage taxes. All the fun stuff to really help you enjoy walking in fresh snow through nature's wonderland.

Nov.29: Injector I2 w/Personna(1) ..... Paladin Sumo ....... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Nivea Protect & Care balm
As is my custom, a new injector blade after 14 days with a Personna. Shave was good, but the neck is not yet back to 100%.
'Tis a little chilly out this morning, with a wind chill of -12C (~10F).
Today's workout was:
- 30 mins elliptical

I think if you just took the top 12 feet of the second tree on the left.. it’s just climbing up there to get it.
You know, if you run with the wind, it takes away that whole wind chill factor...

That's an excellent point. Or walk, a nice stroll by the lake perhaps.

7C today... supposed to be 10C Wednesday. This is completely unheard of in December in the BC Rockies.

Bowl lathered with the boar this morning and it did make a difference. I think that I was simply adding too much water through my tip-dipping when face lathering for pass-1 in the past. More experimentation is needed. Weather-wise, just below freezing, so that is a nice improvement over yesterday.

BTW that "freezing" comment was full-on imperial this morning; I left the metric version out on purpose to see if anyone would pick up on it.
What do you do while you're on that thing? I was wondering what you do so you don't get bored, but then remembered you play long version chess. So maybe you just stare at the wall...
Is that like it's freezing in Canada but not in Texas?BTW that "freezing" comment was full-on imperial this morning; I left the metric version out on purpose to see if anyone would pick up on it.
