Its been a cold winter for sure. We've had -30 to -40, 4 times this year for about a week each. It sure gets tiresome. But, kept the shop busy!

We've been really good. We've picked up a few jobs for the new bridge, a couple jobs for a pipeline thats they are building and keeping busy with our regular clientele.

How about you guys?
