  • My dog associates food time with my meals. Food time is food time for both of us, and not based on what a clock says. So i can sleep in on the weekend. Works out since i generally only eat twice a day anyways. But she gets a treat if i have a third meal.

    She used to free feed and maintained a healthy weight. Not anymore 🙃. Having meal times at all has been an adjustment, but she learned over a few days.











  • This.

    DO NIT WALK/COMPACT YOUR REGULAR PATHS BEFORE SHOVELLING! SHOVEL THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

    If you have compacted snow you will have to stab it top down with a round end steel shovel crcking apart 10cm(4") sections the whole way.

    Spent the better part of last winter fixing the mistake i made in my first week of snow. (125m long path).

    If you have wood oven heating then keep your wood stock close to home. My shed is 30m away and it gets real old hauling across every few days. I also use a plastic bin to carry it now. A lot easier than a wheelbarrow as you can walk right into your house and to your inside wood shelf.

    Boot chains are really great, not the spikes, chains. Especially if you have a dog that gets excited and pulls.

    If you have a long driveway consider a plowing service, your local farmer will probably do it cheaper(than you think) than a commercial service if you’re rural.

    Stock up on food/water.

    Otherwise there’s not much to it.

    Freezing cold is +3C/-6C, then -18C and below. The -6C/-18C range is actually very comfortable.

    178cm is pretty average is it not? Though the seats need to accommodate women as well. So your average is closer to 170. Still, the seat is comfortable for my back, the had rest just push my head forward uncomfortably far resulting in neck soreness even with good posture. Maybe i have a long head? Idk, guess im a xenomorph.

    Turning it around is and feels dangerous, but extremely comfortable. Wish i could tilt the head rest just a bit. Maybe I’ll just permanently bend it. Feels like if i got rear ended there would be a lot of pressure on the base of my neck.



  • It can depend on the person so it’s a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I’m speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.

    Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you’re being an incessant little dictator?

    Mine forces bad posture. Sitting with an erect spine means my head is tilted steeply forward.

    I have to lean the seat back until I’m not resting my back against the seat so there’s less pressure in my neck. That means I’m not able to rest my upper back at all.

    What i wouldn’t give for 1cm of adjustment.
