The work week was pretty uneventful. Regular day to day stuff and some testing and planning. I did an in-service at one of the schools as many of the teachers didn’t understand how to correctly log into the network and didn’t understand the difference between logging into the network and the workstation.

Here are my thoughts and recollections for the past week:

-42°C this morning. 0.2° from tying a record for the coldest temperature ever on this day in Yellowknife.
We drove to Dettah this morning on the ice road. It was pleasant but cold. The trip out on the ice road is 6km and the return trip [...]

Here are my thoughts and recollections for the past week:
