Scottish heavy equipment mechanic

[digger doug]

Been doing over 20 years, if I go in a workshop I come out in a rash

Because your toolbox (on the truck) has a fully stocked bar, and in the shop you can't hide it ?

Nah, it ain't fully stocked, it's all scotch!

In the 1700's my really great grandma left France (German part) for the Volga river area Russia, then my 3rd great grampa left Russia in 1876 to settle in Kansas. Both voyages we're by ship, a proposition that would shake me pretty hard even now. Many people left for better life and I congratulate you for doing the same.

You're going to need it, being a field mechanic in Canada!

I work in a much more hospitable clime, and I like Canadian whiskey!

 

[Victor mcdade]

I can honestly say I've never tried Canadian whiskey, but I will give it a go

, No I just could never stand being stuck in a workshop, even as an apprentice, when I was 17 my boss came up to me with a set of keys and a sheet of paper and said, I can't look at your face any more get out there's a list of jobs and sites go do that.

I'm just trying to figure out what he's gonna sound likewhen he says "eh?"....

No offense Victor, my grandmother was a Scot, a Melville.

Some say a good Canadian whisky is much better than American whiskey like Jack Daniel's. Sorry I'm not a whiskey drinker but know some who are. Canadian beer has more alcohol content too.

You guys do realize much of Canada is further south than Scotland, don't you?

Best wishes on your new venture. Part of my ancestors left Scotland just ahead of the kings men. They made the mistake of backing Bonnie Prince Charles.

I think if they done one for Scotland it would probably be the same just more aggressive for no apparent reason

 

[skyking1]

gratuitous aggressiveness, kilts will do that for ya in the winter.

Jack Daniel’s is cheap crap. The better whiskeys and bourbons aren’t lighter fluid.

I do enjoy Canadian club and sprite for smooth cheap easy drinking.

Can’t say I have run into much Canadian beer, I prefer Mexican beers over American beers by far.

Buddy of mine. His wife went to nursing school with a friend of her's. They both got jobs in American hospitals. After a few years of working in New York city, buddy's wife got a call from her friend about a nursing job at the hospital where she worked in Texas. She applied and got the job. The friend met and married a state trooper. Brian Stubbs. My buddy went to Texas to meet up with his future wife. They had went together in highschool and decided to meet up. He and Stubbs hit it off. buddy ended up getting married, and Debbie moved back here to NB and she got a job at the local hospital. The 2 couples would visit each other every couple years. It was cheaper for the 2 in the US to come to Canada. Stubbs fell in love with Canadian beer. We used to be amazed at how it set him on his ass so fast. She got tired of Texas, and with her parents getting older, she convinced Stubs to leave crime infested Port Arthur, and move to New Hampshire so she could be closer to her parents. Used to all the action in Texas, Stubbs couldn't handle the quiet of being on a police officer in such a quiet area. He started drinking, lost his job, and became abusive. She left him, and came back to NB. He moved back home, and roomed with one of his old co workers. His room mate went out for a morning run, and when he came back, Stubbs had taken his service revolver and ended it all.
