Gales "smoke free" diesels use alot of nitrous, not something we can run all of the time to keep the air clean on my way to work.

anyway yes hopefully i'll make the event this year some family coming out from winnipeg to watch, not sure about the sled pull chances of getting axle loops and ladder bars in before then is kinda slim.

Well, Im a single 20 year old guy with no ties back here...chances are I'll be taking a suitcase of clothes and my couple pieces of plastic money...Not to mention some spare parts. I have friends that live in Calgary and they said I can stay there If I wanted too....Anywho, I still need to get the truck done if I plan on driving out....

Tons of work in Cow town, just depends on how hard you want to work. E town is also quite busy. You could almost find a decent job in any town where you want to set-up home at. Good luck, I like to see the rig. My record for making it out to the blackout isn't good. The last years outting I spent the entire weekend fixing fuel leaks and the year before I just got stuck working. Any time you have a long weekend in the summer (mixed in with good weather) I usually have to work.
