My trusty steed
Lots of closings/delays in the area today because of a winter storm
warning or something like that. Blah, humbug! Went out to go to work this morning and scraped a little ice off of my trusty steed and we were ready for the 35 mile commute in to work! http://www.employees.org/~travist/steed1.jpg Got to work and... Hey, where's all the fancy 4wd trucks and schmancy Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc that are normally here?!?! http://www.employees.org/~travist/steed2.jpg http://www.employees.org/~travist/steed3.jpg HO HO HO! My left foot is toasty warm! :-) |

Two days ago we had 51,5 deg Fahrenheit during the day. This is Oslo in mid. January!! Some of us quite like the prospect of climate change.. J. |

I get here around 6:30 and leave around 3-3:30pm. I beat the traffic coming and going. Yes, one warm foot was better than nothing. :-) On the garage... I covered the roof with a tarp and the sides are covered in plastic for now. I'm waiting on a weekend with decent weather to get started on the tar paper and shingles. Looks like that might not happen this weekend coming up. |

My english dictionary between my ears translate this to Herpes Zoster - a late aftercondition of having chicken pox one time in a life. --- Olli |

For example Katepal products (http://www.katepal.fi/katot.htm). I would call them also "huopakatto". How about kattotiilet (tiles made out of clay or coloured concrete)? Are they called shingles? Or roof tiles as I would translate? --- Olli |

When I think Shingles, I always visualise thick tarboard tiles coated with fine stone granulate, as in flexible. The ceramics translates into something quite different over here, think I saw it mentioned on one of the sites, roof pans? J. |

Ps. Translated from Norwegian, Swedish and Danish to English it would simply be: Roof stone. Simple eh? } J. |
