I heard a rumor that Bruce was looking for two Herman Nelson heaters recently. Who knows what he's got up his sleeve?

You can be sure Bruce doesn't do anything without a real good reason. Especially spend money.

 

Not working this summer Splitpin?

Nope!!! I retired at the end of '08. 50 years is enough. Enjoying life to the fullest. No more B.S. No more filthy camps. No more lying ops. managers. Playing around with a fellow retired A.M.E repairing boats. Better coin than effing helicopters!! Life is good!! :up: :up:

I will concur and agree, these are good reasons to say "enough" and get out. Only 20 years for this victim, will not last another 30 years. But good on ya for lasting that long.

 

BOAT- "bring out another thousand"

 

Happy retirement

There was a Campbell 205 flying around Lac La Biche, AB last week.

I think it was MQN, an old Campbell 205, now operated by Expedition Helicopters from Ontario. Must not have had time or money to repaint it yet
