Oh I know it. The school has two Cascadias, one auto and one with a 10 speed but I keep getting stuck with these trash Prostars. They ride like sh*t, everything squeaks and rattles and the seat is painfully uncomfortable.

It's worse if you go drive the big yellow snow pushers! Rode hard, and put away wet.

Learn on those and you will appreciate the good stuff when you get in it.

Where's the hydraulic controls for the plow & salt spreader?
Supertrucker don't touch no salt spreader!

Lol these things get beat on... a lot. There is a new set of students "learning" how to shift on them every month. Many of them have never driven a manual car before and have no understanding of when, why and how to use the clutch. I'm told they've had two broken driveshafts and one transmission in the past 6 months.

Local heating and plumbing company was recently hit by thieves. They broke into a shop which housed the work truck with the keys in it. The thieves fill up the truck with copper and tools. The police found the truck awhile later an hr an half away cleaned out. Even the ign key was gone. Well after finding a new key the initial start up they were surprised with a new aggressive exhaust tone. Yep as a good guess the cats were cut off too. That was my job today was to install new ones. Bad enough replacing one or two cats a few yrs ago was expensive but now the price of universal cats have tripled and quadrupled. Frustrated to think the thieves will prob make pennys on the dollar vs the loss of this company has to take. Sure their is insurance, that doesn’t cover everything. Almost forgot a week later a business a few blocks away got hit similar.

I blame it all on battery powered tools. They need to be banned! When battery powered Sawzalls are banned, only thieves will have battery powered Sawzalls!

Watched an F18 pilot eject during practice maneuvers for the Lethbridge airshow in 2010. I was running the crane for a building supply company. We were working in one of the newer subdivisions at the time right by the airport it was essentially a front row seat.

Been working in the park last week or so , city is redesigning the river bank so we can keep the park from eroding and relocating to the bottom of Kamloops lake.
So far we’ve made a retaining wall/ bulkhead that also serves as a seating bench 59F36887-1ACB-4A5A-9B77-BEFA26AA807A.jpeg CA360A57-3E07-4995-B9F1-66FB21114177.jpeg 0C63738C-077F-44EA-B947-4759185B13C6.jpeg

There is about 8 yards of concrete in that stair anchor it’s 40” deep and full width and length only tax dollars can afford that kind of engineering lol
