    Careers as a Heavy Duty Mechanic

    Oh yes. Open Gear Lube (gear dope) One little dab hidden somewhere on you body, say behind an ear, that you didn't get off in the nightly steamclean at home (shower) and there goes another set of sheets or pillow cases. I tried, lord knows I tried to make sure that I got it all off. But if you...

    Careers as a Heavy Duty Mechanic

    Hey Kg. I started my career as a heavy duty mechanic on June 20, 1976 and retired on June 30, 2018. I was 22 when I got my TQ. I had a pretty good run. Most of it was keeping the westcoast logging industry running and most of that was working at in the dark, (afternoon shift). Lots and lots...

    VW bug

    Oh Gawd. Nothing to do with green bugs, but... Going back to about 1974. Was out for a ride with some friends. Dan was driving his car with his girl in the front, I was in the back with my girlfriend. My memory is failing, can't remember what he was driving, I think it was a Beaumont with a...

    I just wanted to let all you guys know that on this holiday weekend..

    Hey Vetech. Thanks for holding down the fort, means I can stay retired and not have to worry about things. I worked many a long weekend in my day. When you do get done, the beer tastes just that much better.

    Household paint question

    We can still buy the good stuff here, takes a bit to find it. I might still have some in the garage, somewhere. Garage clean up is on the list too. Fun Fact. TSP is also found in breakfast cereals...

    Household paint question

    Well that might be interesting hahaha. Not sure what the wife would make of that. It's not that bad, not like a greasy spoon restaurant kitchen. I think Delmer's idea probably has the most Merritt.

    Household paint question

    It is time to paint the inside of the house again. One of my most favorite jobs in the whole world. Yup, just love it. The kitchen ceiling. This house has a really stupid design, there is a skylight that is pretty much just about over the stove. The range hood fan is pretty much useless, so...

    Hey everyone. Just checking in. Not much new here. Still just hunkered down. I popped in once or twice just to see what was happening, but other then that, have pretty much kept off the computer and any other kind of social media. I can honestly say that I haven't missed it. It is a...

    Vancouver Island, BC. Logging at its Best!

    Sorry Camptramp. I enjoyed my time with the Timberwest crew. There were some damn fine people working there. We made the company lots of money so it really was a bit of a shock when they decided to toss us away the way they did. Still a bit of a raw nerve.

    Virus Shutdown

    My plan last night when I went to bed was to get out to the stores and take advantage of the early opening for seniors and people at risk. Stores open at 7, so 7:15 I am ready to roll. Standing at the door thinking to myself, what was it I needed to pick up. Asked my wife, she couldn't remember...

    Vancouver Island, BC. Logging at its Best!

    I know what you mean, I have worked with some really good people too. It was always fun moving jobs and getting to a new camp, see how many people you knew from previous places. I'm also guilty of not taking enough pictures. I have some but I have no idea where they are. We packed up for a...
