not really, you pay alot less for daily staples..... our minuim wages are similar.... so a uneducated job pays not very much.... a educated job would pay well depending what your education is in..... then there is the oil patch..... there you make big coin up and down the ladder.... summer we get just as hot as you.... max +35 in ab, max +40 in bc (specially the okanagon valley).... you get use to the temps... semi free healthcare tho.....

 

Well my spare head is all boxed up and getting sent to Josh tomorrow. If they manage to break my head in shipping then they're dropping it off a building lol. My boy Projekt thankfully works at Fed Ex and hooked me up with some cheaper shipping. Stupid Canada and your stupid outrageous shipping prices.

 

Nice man. Things are coming along for ya.

I'm coming for ya! Got the crank, piston and rods out. Just need to find a good machine shop an I'm on my way! Lol

 

Nice! When do you hope to have it done?

 

I'm shooting for spring. hopefully by june

 

Ill be sitting at the drag tree with slicks waiting for ya

 

lol wheres the like button

 

on facebook you goof! lol

 

really you knob gobbler? hahahahahah

 

I just tallied up all my bills for this motor. The only thing not paid for is the head work. But if nothing else pops up unexpected ill be $500 under budget which is nice. And I bought cams which wasn't part of the initial build. That built short block from kxrida2000 saved me a lot.

What to do with the extra $500... NAWZZZZ? Lol

 

YESS!! Think about it... no E so you gotta make up for it right?!

 

you had a budget??

 

If I wanted it turn key for spring I had to. Having my own house by myself puts a bit of a damper on things haha

 

lol guess I'm not in that boat. Still have my own house by myself but I wanted a built motor. guess everyone can't be the same!

Good on you for sticking to your budget!

 

Can you get me a job doing what you are? I'll move to cowtown tomorrow! Lol

 

hahahaha well do you want to work away from home? there are alot of oil field jobs down by the border in sask and manitoba. they are developing a new gas field down there!

Is that all it takes to bring you over to the darkside??

 

Well I'm currently jumping through the hoops trying to get on with the Winnipeg Police. If I don't get on I'm definitely going to sit back and weigh my options where to go from here.

 

I hate cops! Lol but they love me for some reason!

 

calgary police is always hiring, also we have the wanna be mounties here....

jon likes to rub it in that he has no worries.... i have learned to ignore it.... i still think the oilfield is nothing but a cover up for his gay escort service.... funny he is self employed.... hmmmmm

 

Ya I've considered Calgary Police. Being a Cop is something I really want to do.

 

i hope you know how to look in the other direction on and off duty....

 

Lol and show respect for your fellow ricers. Errr.... I mean cobalts! Lol

 

Soooo kxrida2000 just calls me. Anyone see or hear about that 86 car pile up in Cincinnati? Guess what was in that pile up...? MY MOTOR!!! Thank god the company staps the pallets to the deck of the trailer!!! Motor didn't even move. Gotta wait another couple days to get it. Gotta go change my boxers now.

 

I woulda **** my pants too

 

it's just a motor!

Glad everything is okay!
