Re: The life of a country field tech.

Oh come on Shadow. You get to go salmon fishing every day after work. Don't kid me. LOL.

I've been to Ukculet fishing a few time. Wonderful part of the world where we live.

Most of the time.

Re: The life of a country field tech.

Mr Bill, I will admit that living back home here on the island has its benefits.
how ever I am the worlds worst fisherman, I don't like fish...........
and yes this is a great place to be.

I had a small Mazda car as my service vehicle and would have to drive through Blizzards to service some clients.

Holy crap, copier tech and gigolo! That's dedication!

Is your company hiring?

Re: The life of a country field tech.

I think there's at least one everywhere. Seems like some kinda scene right out of a cheesy 70's porno...

"Excuse me ma'am, I'm the copier repair guy, did someone call for service?"

Shortly followed by some music along the lines of "boom chicka waa waa" and a terrible pornstache.

I bet they never had a copier engineer porno that showed the man covered in toner, sweating profusely and the lead actress asking "can I make a quick copy" as he had 60% of the machine on the floor.

Or the snuff flick where he stabs her in the face with a Snap-On for her insolence.

Million dollar ideas, I'll write the script and you supply the camera?

Re: The life of a country field tech.

We still have you beat, from Thompson, MB to Lynn Lake, MB is 325 km/201.946 mi and from Lynn Lake, MB to Tadoule Lake, MB is an additional 401 km/249.17 mi.
Grand total distance would be 726 km/451.115 mi, or approximately 1 whole day of driving on a winter road as posted above by PASTech.
This doesn't even cover our actual service area that can be driven to, we actually offer fly-in service as far north as Baker's Lake, Nunavut (971 km/603.351 mi).

Check and mate.

I do, however, envy the fact that your entire service area can be driven to on a nicely paved highway... Would be a lovely thing to have up here.

Re: The life of a country field tech.

Ok Akitu, enough flaunting....This is our service area...the straight lines are flights, the other ones can be traveled by winter road but can also be flights in skimpy little bush jets, and the path to Churchill is on a Railroad that the train can only go so fast as it rides permafrost. If the Train pushes ahead of it's bubble it can break the track and be stuck for days....Good Times

Re: The life of a country field tech.

What I'd like to know is how much do you charge a customer for an all day call. ??? What if you get there and don't have the part? Darn.
