Morning Grant,-27 here this morning

 

Yeah, cold again and it looks like it's settled in for the next week.

Found this and I'm starting to think something is seriously wrong!

Thats it Ray...I'm moving to Alaska.

 

Unfortunately it looks like it`s cold all over ...except maybe in Alaska.
Hopefully this maybe of interest to some of you, Grant:

Thanks Morris. The reason it takes so long is it takes 8hrs just to check the tire pressures for the pre trip inspection.

 

Seen this on the way to Combine World about a month ago

 

It would take me that long just to find them all...
What the heck is that?

 

An evaporator I believe is what they called it.

 

What`s it weigh and what`s evaporate, Great Slave Lake?

 

It was on its way to K+S. I met up with it just outside Simpson.

 

You guys are giving me nightmares!

When I worked on the railroad, they were always moving dimensional loads through Raymore on Hwy 15 and Hwy 6. I had a cantilevered crossing there that always had to be watched.

 

A couple of those things were build in your back yard Ray, right there in B&W. Some 200K# of steel rolling down the highway. I kept thinking perhaps SK was trying to set the record for the worlds largest still...

Still chilly out there boys...

Made a career change yesterday. Ending my self employment and going to work as a project supervisor for a growing developer here in town. He's been after me for about 2 years, I finally submitted. It'll be a big change, but at the end of the day it'll be nice to have a steady paycheck, know exactly what I'm bringing home every 2 weeks, have EI and other benefits, paid holidays etc.

Continue to stay warm out there boys...

 

Happy Tuesday mornin'all. Way to go Sherm. Wishing you all the best. good luck. Have a great day guy's.

 

Man this is getting old, I'm sure everyone feels the same about this.

Watching over sized loads rumbling over a cantilevered crossing doesn`t sound like a lot of fun Ray.
Good luck on your career change Sherm, hopefully you still get lots of seat time in your Super Duty.
Is it extremely cold in Winterpeg too Grant?

 

Morning boys... I wish someone would leave the door open to the outside oven. This cold is kicking my hiney. But...who's complaining? Only another 3 months if we're lucky. It'll pass like a wet fart.

Thanks for the good luck wishes. It'll be a change. In some ways welcomed, in some ways I'm a bit apprehensive. It'll be great to know what my income is at all times, and have a steady income I can depend on. With the family to support, this is the main reason for the change. There are so many new "contractors" in town that its hard to bid and win a job and have any profit in it. It will be different to have a schedule and routine. I know many of their guys already, so there shouldn't be too many hiccups getting along with everyone.

I'm not sure what I will be doing with my Super Duty yet. I will have a company truck in the near future, and being that I won't be able to write off the expense of the Super Duty anymore, I may have to consider letting it go. It will be replaced with a 4wd/awd family vehicle, perhaps an explorer against my better judgement I have the Cummins for a beater/farm truck, and it is reliable enough for as much as I will need a truck. Either way, I think a change will do me good. Sheryl Crow says so.

Perhaps I'll even have time to take on a project...finally buy back my '96 and give it the love it deserves.

Take care and stay warm today boys!!!
