23, Project manager at a mechanical contracting company, I write operation and maintenance manuals in the evenings and I clear snow in the winter

For fun I sled, quad, fish, go boating w/ the associated boating activities, photography (editing too!), play some music instruments, guns, hunting and what ever else interests me. :)

Soon to be 46, my my does the time fly :( Trucking has been my life for almost 28 years. Long haul, but oilfield has been my main bread and butter. I've been an O/O for the last 10yrs. It's very nice to pick and choose my work (the oilfield revolves around me now ... LOL). We as a family (wife of 22yrs, three beautiful daughters, and a very energetic 2yr old grandaughter) enjoy camping, quadding, sledding, and just being in the great out doors. As the wife and I get older and the kids go out on their own (just the 14yr old at home now) traveling to other countries has become an all time favorite as well :)

Just shy of 57. Electrician/Engineering technician in the pulp industry. Spend wayyyyyy too much time chained to a desk these days. I wish work was just a hobby. Oh well, only another 3 years to go. :whoo:

Sledding for 45 years now. Quad, Jeep, camp and fish in the summer. Rode street and off road bikes for 30+ years till I crashed and broke my leg. Gave that up. Murder the occasional defenseless critter in the fall. Mostly leave that to the son now. Aaaaand I let my wife and daughter drive me crazy in their spare time!

Very smart career move. I have half my Third. With a Second you can pretty much pick your jobs. Where do you hope to end up? I work for Baytex and I know we are hiring for the upcoming steam project in Cold Lake. Might be able to get some summer work and maybe a full time job out of there.

Pm me if you would like info.

Associate Specialist Planner for a private company(has to remain private, security reasons) who has a military contract for building brand new LAV 111 Armoured Personel Carriers for our defense department. My job is to make sure the production line has their parts to build these war machines. Only thing I miss about not being on the production side is standing in the turret during road tests on public street. Love the looks, waves and honks we get.
Anyway I work hard so that my family and I can enjoy camping/ quadding with wonderful friends(all whom we have met on this web site and Outlaws) sledding and riding the goldwing.

Hubby is a mechanic with CN rail. We are practically empty nesters and that suits me just fine. Just hubby and I enjoying life.

49 y/o and a master operator at one of the largest natural gas plants in North America. Sweetening, Dehydration, Cryogenics, Fractionation, Condensate Recovery and Stabilization, Distillation, Power Generation, Sulphur recovery -- all around good stuff that smells like money.

I braaaap on Polaris! In my spare time I like beer.

Master operator....is that a title or did you just make that one up? Thats a pretty serious designation.
