Originally posted by joe strong View Posti use to smoke all the time & it did help with the cold somewhat & even before work but drugtesting is rampant now so i'm on the wagon...you are right when it was -30c i would get destroyed & work & never had an accident. actually i wourk better high as a kite but those days are past. weed can get you through anything but those days are done as many jobs have random tests now & it will be everywhere in the next few years. if i fail a drug test for even weed i have to go to a detox center & hang with needle banging junkies for 30 days. it's a joke...i can see it know suzie stands up & says " hi i'm suzie, im a heroin addict, i've lived on the streets for 4 years, i turn tricks so i can feed my habit, etc. then i will stand up & say " hello i'm joe & i'm a recreational pot user. i have lived in a stable enviorment for 11 years, never missed a bill payment in my life, make $100000\year, travel all over the world & have had a solid career for 16 years, have been paying into a work pension for 16 years & have substantial amount of money in savings, rsps, guics, etc...so i quit weed so i don't have to end up there or i'd have a joint hanging in my mouth all day....
Yeah that's tough even though weed does get you by in those situations and I would actually work better as well. I zone out and focus on everything I'm doing. I'm sure Jose830 can testify that setting up bipaps and 840's and delivering O2 while high is a breeze. Damn goodluck though Joe because that does sound like a great yet difficult job

Worst part about working outside in the winter, is needing use of your hands. Mitts and gloves sometimes have to be ignored. Back in the day when I used to wire up electrical signs, during the very cold late January winter, my hands would get to the point of having no feeling and I would drop stuff.
When back out of the cold, and running warm water on your hands to warm them up, the feeling was so intense I thought I was going to barf. awful feeling

Originally posted by joe strong View Posti have used those before many times but they make your gloves moist & then icy. those are okay if you are on the ground & not having to handle small hand tools but when in the air my tools are steal & become very slick. if i drop something there could be a real problem. it's not that simple & not to mention if you have ever seen one out of the pack they are bulky & like a tea bag. can't hold on to tools as effectively. there are also the stick on ones but they too make gloves slick beecause of the heat & moisture which makes your gloves icy.
