Good morning folks, have a good day.
4-5 months off gets too boring Gerry tho I don`t mind being in doors when it`s 40 below.

Being in the trades the income is pretty good. Hopefully after tomorrow I'll be a 4th year apprentice millwright. Another 8 weeks of school next year and I should be a red seal journeyman millwright.

Yeah I'm in the air compressor buisness. Mostly 8hr days and home almost every night but always overtime available and seems to be a week every 2 months I'll be out of town. Journeyman rate where I work is around $36/hr plus I get a company truck (09 f150 xlt) fuel cards, visa and blackberry do its a good gig. I like it there they treat us good. I still have use of the fuel card for my truck while in school thank god lol school is 18km from home and in the last 8 weeks im at about $570 for fuel lol but I'm loving being able to drive my truck everyday

My friend occasionally works in Alberta on oil refinery shut downs, at times it`s 12 hr days and 7 days a week.
That fuel card is certainly worth hanging on to, my son has a company work truck and a fuel card.
