Was just wondering if we as a group have any thing else in common than just our trucks, maybe occupation, where we live. (rural/urban/suburban) Maybe if we drink beer, wine, hard liquour or abstain. Is there anything else?<br><br> My name is Mitch and I'm an electrician. I live in Squamish British Columbia, Canada (pronounced Squaw- mish)<br> Squamish is located at the head of a fjord(called Howe sound) about an hours drive north of Vancouver B C. Its beautful here.<br> About 8 years ago I was in the construction trade and a friend of mine got out of the trade and into the growing motion picture industry.<br> I quit my job and got another job with a small company that rents motion picture lighting equipment including diesel generators. Didn't know a thing about diesel but I knew about the electrical part of a generator so after building a few and rewiring many I got quite familiar with them hence cummins was the engine to buy and it just happened to be surrounded by a dodge. So I got one, 96 4x4 dually which I happened to roll 3 times down the sea to sky highway. No breaks but some severe road rash on my left arm due to it smacking the pavement as I rolled over and over. Now I own a 95 4x4 dually and I love it.... now that its slightly bombed.<br> Anyway thats how I got into it, oh yeah I like beer and wine as I've been making it for 20 years.<br> Hope to hear from y'all.<br><br> sincerely <br><br> Mitch<br><br>P.S. Wear you seat belt, you never know when its going to happen, I'm here because of mine.

Mitch, I always wear my seat belt, and always have (even before political correctness and legal mandates). I am a computer software engineer for the mainframe computers, and have been in this business for 30 years. I drink beer only occasionally now, as I was consuming more than I could afford for too long. I am a deer hunter, and go 4x4 mudding several times a year when we have deer camp work parties. My wife is my motivation in life, and my truck is my entertainment!
