You are so gay. A real man would have an air freshener that smelled like a T-Bone steak. :lol:

No Sheet, if they made it, I would have it. Woman's perfume should be made of those smells also like steak and fresh cut grass!!!

I'd prefer racing fuel scent. Also, I'd shower with sawdust scented soap while using 60 grit sandpaper for a washcloth. 8)

I believe that in the Winter they use an ice road to reach Fort McMurray. The dirt road you have to use this time of year isn't a real picnic.

Are you going to be coming through winnipeg, mb on your way to fort mac?

The highway between edmonton and fort mac is insane, I'm warning you. Four wheelers will pass you like crazy.

From what I hear, there's not a single truck stop or anything between Edmonton and Fort mac. Next to nothing in fort mac either. Good luck.

Good luck finding a load out of there too.

Ya, I hear it's a trip heading out there. I'll fuel up one last time in Edmonton then off into the wild woods of Canada. I was also paid to dead head back to Montana. I think I have a load out of Calgary on the way back though.

Well, I made it too who knows where I am. I was told to keep heading north until I saw a sign for Suncor Fire Bag and take a right into the woods and drive for about 60 miles.

There are moosie? meese? Mooses? How do you say more than one moose?
There are animals running around and I have no idea what they are. I rolled down my window and got out of the truck for a minute to walk around and when I came back there was a swarm of the biggest mosquitoes I've ever seen around my window. I got in and rolled it up but my cab was filled with them.

I got going as fast as I could, maybe 45 then put down both windows and most all of them were sucked out. They were all over me trying to suck my blood out.

Before I headed into the woods it was 1am and I realize I can see without my headlights. I figure the moon must be full. I pull over to make coffee and get out and notice there is no moon but to the North the whole sky is lite up. Now it's 3:30am and I have my sunglasses on because the sun is right in my face!!!!!!!!!!! WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So into the woods I'm driving and all of a sudden there is a clearing and an airport with what looks like an A300 Airbus. Keep in mind, this is in the middle of Bum F*** No Place.

Over the next rise and it looks like an oil refinery. Now I'm passing hundreds and hundreds of huge trailers that each have 28 rooms. I'm assuming each A/C unit counts as a room.

They have their own Hospital and everything. It's like a city in the middle of the woods. They have a truck parking area for us and I see the sign for the cafeteria and told to go eat. I walk in and the place must seat at least 500 people or more. They have every kind of food you can imagine 24 hours a day and all really really good stuff!!!

After your done eating your meal you go into another room with 4 massive tables about 100' long and stuff on both sides. There are paper bags and containers and you make your lunch. You later come back for dinner but I'm assuming there is no hot lunch served.

No cell phone but a great broadband connection that they supply. I noticed that more than 1/2 the people working here seem to be just out of high school. This has to be one of the best jobs you can get. They supply room and board. It's called a camp.

This sure beats bumping a dock at Walmart for sure!

Consider yourself lucky to be in Canada. I'm sitting in St Pete doing my civic duty,.......jury duty.
