My winter vacation

A good portion of Canadas backyard looks quite like that.

Bored. Sitting in the cab of the drill waiting for a reamer change...

Margins in boring and ROI are much better than farming roflol.


It's +8 here. Turning muddy.

Fun project were on. Something different every few days. Power to a ski hill. Power to an oil sands injection pad. Oil pipeline. Gas service to a grain dryer. Water to a resort... :P

Back in the day, my off-farm, self-generated subsidy check came from cutting/skidding hardwoods.

I can guarantee, there was no boredom on the job there LOL. 051 Stihl was the superbeast chainsaw of choice, then 076s. Heavy beast it was but smooth and steady.

One windy day when no one should have been in the woods, we had a few trees hung up real close together because they wouldn't go where we tried to fall them - too much swinging in the wind. Just stupid being there. Tried using one tree to knock the last one down - just stupid.

Then one tree finally went down and set off a chain reaction - like dominoes, trees going every direction around us. Surprisingly, neither of us got hurt and we up and started singing this song -

"Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive..."

LOLLZ! Oh the 80's, 10 ' tall and bullet proof...

Theme song below -

So, I like your cab....

That story had me laughin for miles. Ahh the 80s before big safety was a thing. I remember some uber sketchy shit myself. Got a scar on my nose from a wayward top myself. Knew a few who didnt survive the time period.
Klause when your over 40 you will appreciate being in that cab watching the young bucks wrastlin the iron in the mud.
Yup, breakup is here boys. Take care.

May we ask what you are doing, maybe a gas line?

The top pics were a power line going to a site.


The bottom one is 3 pipelines next to each other. Doing the 3rd today.



Sitting in a cab is nice but I still like being outside giving er shit too.


Missed this. Good small crew. All of us are friends... Work is more fun than work. Days go by fast
