sleds are bigger, more powerful, (more fun) than olden days...so is fuel a lot more expensive. However, most of us make a lot more than 1.38/hr. A person could have a much smaller sled, cost less, have less fun... I don't mind spending the coin... 
I like having fun...

Just got back from cleaning a furnace in one of my rental units.....if only folks would only learn to change filters regularly my life would be some much easier.

I'm at base mine, working for Aecon. They are well known for their expertise in infastructures, but they bought out a company called Cow Harbour, and this is their first attempt at mining, so far so good. they are spending millions on equipment repair, and setting up our own offices on site. As of today, we are now on a 10 and 5 shift, I start 5 nights starting Tues, and then have 5 days off. It will be nice to finally have a schedule so I can plan ahead.
Regarding the weather, I waited outside this morning (5:50am) for the bus going to the mine, it was 20 minutes late, and it was -37 without the windchill!!!! I was almost in tears from the pain in my fngers and toes. I didn't warm up till around 10.
I am counting the days till spring!!!

No problem with keeping snow around here, at least not till spring, if it ever gets here.
I hate what freezing rain does to the roads, sometimes it seems there`s not enough salt on them to be safe but we know what salt does to our vehicles.
