I was thinking of something more Canadian.
I know...but you didn't specify how far north...!
Yea, at the time, I worked for an oil tool company. British Petrolium (at the time it was Arco and British Petrolium) used some of our equipment, but they wanted and paid for us to do the manual labor part of it.
I actually went twice about two months apart. I didn't know all the behind the scene happenings, but the main guy was quitting the company and I was gonna be the new main guy. I didn't know this. And yea, really good money.
Well to ruin a good thing, I also had just accepted a position to go work for B&M Automotive (yea, that B&M). Overall...not one of my better moves. Long sorta funny story, but I was only there for about 6 months.
Quit a fair paying job that was gonna give me 100 bucks a "day" over my reqular pay when I was to make the trips to Alaska...every two months. Normally lasting about 10 day each trip. That was GOOD money back then.
Hey..I was (sort-of'a) a kid with a Pro Gas Anglia, that had a B&M converter. How can I pass that job up..?
And...no, never been to Canada. The farthest north I think was a trip to see a friend in Portland, Or.
