Yeah cheers NMM
FTTM its all your fault My friend delivered some beds to our new house over there yesterday and had to dig the drive out first
Only another foot or so tomorrow , which is a day closer to Spring
Oh whoopie doo, Iām heading right into that, canāt wait 
Good luck with your new job Russā¦
Itās definetly tough at first, getting settled in your home, getting bank accounts, trying to become credit worthy in Canada just to get a basic mobile phone contract is tricky, studying and taking the class 1 in unfamiliar equipment in the snow and iceā¦ hopefully all this will be easier for you as you have some friends there who can guide you through it all.
Its all worth the hassle thoughā¦ iām still enjoying it and so busy iām just not getting the time to post stuff on here.!!
Have funā¦

Old news mate 
Read this on that other site a few days ago 
That place is nowhere near as good as this site and thereās no DH on here posting 45pages of drivel Although if you check out some of the other forums, youāll see we have our own versions here
I was in Regina yesterday, blimey theyāve had a beating from the snow, never seen anything like it, hwy1 from Moose Jaw to Regina was like driving through a canyon the snow was so high, it warmed up nicely in the daytime, but coming across from Calgary it was in the -20s
Anyway, good luck with everything, hopefully youāll be able to carry on with the posts telling us exactly what the job is all about
That was last Thursday , out in the valley the snow ploughs couldnāt break through the drifts so excavators were used , then 6 extra loaders were hired to clear routes ,it was messy . The grid roads are now like bobsleigh runs .
Yeah, Thursday, I came out of Kamloops BC, switched with one of ours in Canmore AB, went back to Vancouver, tipped, reloaded and got back to Calgary before the bloke I switched with made it to Regina 
Just thought Iād post another update as its quite relevant to our situation - Iām now a fully qualified driver having passed my class 1 test today, now for another 2 days training to learn how to pull āpikesā 
Excellent news Russ , welcome the band of idiots Not that hard once youāve got your head around the pre trip and air , well done . With luck on your side youāll miss the final dump this weekend and be cruising all summer long , Congrats and well done to Rob Davis eh ?

Well Done Russ! ,
You will never look at your coffee table and chairs in the same way again!
I passed through Regina yesterday (Wednesday) looked like i was passing through the aftermath of a canny bit of snow (and ice)ā¦ the ābumpyā roads were clear thoā¦ then thought i would press on to Saskatoonā¦ roads still clearā¦ pressed on a bit moreā¦10 mins later snow, loads of it, blazing downā¦ 10 mins later couldnāt see the road or even the roadsigns, I crawled along at about 40kph for hours and hours trying to get to Lloydminster, couldnt even see the parking areas, sliproads and wishing idāe stopped earlierā¦ ahh well, you will have all this to come at the end of the year i guess.
as Mick says above, you couldnāt have started at a better timeā¦ roll on Summer!
Well done Russ, just remeber to keep that hideous monstrosity of a pike way over to the right so I donāt knock your mirrors off when I fly by
