Just doing my part feeding the world, I grain farm in SE Sask. We are very busy through the growing season but in the winter we get lots of chances to go sledding. Good local riding and we love coming out to Revy and Fernie.

you bet. Hamburg Gas Plant for me. What do you do up there?

Environmental Consultant, working on Berm Repairs for now. Do a little pipeline scouting sometimes, and potentially working on a flarestack project a little later on.

Uhh... no, more like 5 in 1 out (then my boss sends me to work for other companies). When the weathers good, we try to get done as much as we can. I was out of here last week when it was wet, but got to go to Noman Wells for a few days. It's ok though, I'm hoping that this should allow me to have some time off in the winter to go to the hills!:D

Have they got an Apache camp set up back there, or do you commute from Manning?

We have a great camp, only a few years old and its very nice. Nice and quiet too as theres not very many of us in it. I really enjoy the camp life. I work 8 and 6.

I currently work in a sawmill that manufactures plywood. I operate a Lathe that will turn a 32 inch diameter, 101 inch long log down to a 3 inch core in about 20 seconds. I get paid pretty well to sit on my butt and push buttons.
I am however pursuing a career as a firefighter/emt.

I am a senior forester with the Gov't of Alberta. Pay is alright and hours are good. Great career as I have done and seen lots in it from fighting forest fires to watching a wolf pack take down a moose on the Atahabasca River south of Fort Mac while flying in a helicopter.
