Bio`s
Anyone want to share their bio`s with us? Mine is pretty simple...58 years old, married and a self-employed contractor living on a farm near Saskatoon (north of Clavet) Saskatchewan. Working on all sizes of Fords for 42 of these years, still don`t know any better. Been there, done it and forgot most of it.

I am 29 years old, married, living in Redvers Sask. I work at the John Deere dealership here as a technician. I enjoy working on vehicles too, and have always been a Ford man. I have worked on lots of Fords, but mostly on the trucks -- 60's and 70's -- and have aquired a few parts vehicles by doing this as well. My twin brother works with me too, and he often checks out this website with me as well. He drives a 2001 F-150 4x4 and has an all original 79 Thunderbird with rare options (full load + t-tops) and only 68,000 kms.
I enjoy snowmobiling in the winter and part of a pit crew that races at the Estevan Motor Speedway in the summer.
By the way Fomoko1 -- congrats on your 2000 posts!

Thanks 77SilverStreak about the 2000 posts. You are probably the only one to notice! This is a very quiet site here at FTE. 
How are things at the John Deere dealership? Great to hear that you are like me, always a Ford man. Say hi to your twin brother and tell him that I like his 2001 F-150 4x4 and the T-bird. How do they tell you two apart at JD?

Well my turn...........
Almost 40 (gulp!!) been in La Ronge 16 years, moved here from Ontario. Work for the Sask Gov. as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer on the fleet of government waterbombers.
Married with 2 kids
boy 17....good looking and knows everything
Girl 11........an awesome kid !!
First got into Fords in 88 when i bought a 67 Mustang FB, drove it 3 days and then took it all apart to fix the front seats and rusty floors. Still have the car and yes someday it will run again.
My other Ford is a 59 F100, rusty but very trusty. Splitting my time between Fords.
Enjoy fixing my own junk and riding sleds, boating, and tinkering, also enjoy summer time car stuff, car shows, Bridge City and S.I.R.

I'm next I guess...
46 years old, I live in Dog River and I have been working at the mine for the past 25 years and on the weekends I farm.
Married and just had our first child 2 years ago and she takes up most of my free time. She likes working in the garage with me, and she knows the diference between a wrench and a screw driver.
I have been a ford man since my first car 51 ford sedan. I have owned a few other cars and 7 pickups since. Right now i am looking for a 48 - 52 pickup.

Im grew up in southern saskatchewan, a small town called Central Butte. I left there and went to calgary and took a year of engineering but didnt get along well with one teacher so i quit... oh when i look back now. I did several other jobs and have been working as plumber for about 7-8 years. I am a forman and work on multi-million dollar jobs. I am currently working on a 29 dodge rat rod, but did buy a 56 f 100 about 3 years ago. I have taken it apart and put it back together about three times now, But have ner done much with it other than that. Some day ill get everything else out of the way.

I am 26 years old and currently live in Prince Albert. I grew up, well was raised, in Nipawin, and have lived in Saskatoon for a few years before I moved to P.A. I work at a tire and auto shop right now, and I am going to be attending SIAST in a month or so to do some electrcian training. My first ford I do believe was a 77 ford granada that I bought for 100 dollars, drove till I wrecked it! I have owned alot of different vehicles, and I buy vehicles and do some fixing up on them and make a little money on the side! Always looking for my own project though! Oh and guys, if you have any cute daughters from about 20-30 years old, I am your new best friend 
haha Cheers!

I have 3 daughters. Youngest 18 22 24. The oldest is involved. The other 2 are single. Ah but they play head games and that not fair and would not want to set anyone up. It's better if they meet someone who sees who they are and can decide if this is who they want to be with.
Come on there must be several girls in P.A. for yah.
Nipawin, that is where my sister lives in White Fox and my mother retired to White Fox. My other sister lives in Carrot River. No did not live there. Grew up here in Saskatoon and area.

Things are busy at J.D. here in Redvers. We have our greenlight specials on for $189.00, which has gone over well with the local farmers. Currently are greenlighting the rotary combines for now, and later will start on the tractors. Far as telling my brother and I apart at work is not a problem for everyone we work with since we been there for about 10 years now, but the farmers all get confused, and always check our name tags before calling us by name. This is normal for us, happens all the time! Oh well, its always good for tricking people, especially the teachers when we were at school! Some found out, others probably never did! Ha Ha!
