nice to see you made it ok,with the price of fuel over there you're probably glad you don't have the f150!:)

Glad to hear from you. Hope the weather is good
Big thanks guy's ... The weather's nice .. although windy.
Iam living in the North East part of the country .. 2 miles from the coast .. Nice to be home.
Canada: Well we are thinking of coming back late 2009 poss 2010. I passed my Red-Seal IP heavy Duty Mechanic Cert so things maybe straight forward.
Contacts in Fort-Mac say .. Wait till things pick up as they have frozen any out-side labour. Will be the first inline once things pick - back - up.
I'll be back ... This time it's All out F150 Warfare ... Supercharger's ... Big brakes etc etc ..
Thanks again ... Ross
