These pictures were taken in July of 2013, while working for Millar Western Forest Products in Whitecourt, Alberta.

A hole in the side of a jerry can. This is not good. Let this be a lesson to the industry ... when you empty a jerry can of gasoline into a generator (or pump), don't leave the empty jerry can sitting beside the hot exhaust of the generator. This could have caused a fire.
This was actually taken in southern Alberta, when a few of us were on a road trip to recover some of our trailers from the camp outside Bragg Creek, once they finally got the highway bridge fixed (35 days after the Flood).

When the weather is appropriate, with no significant risk of causing a fire, a moderate campfire on a night off is good for morale.

Scooter. Look at the yellow pollen on the t-shirt. Not a great job for people with allergies or hay fever.
Getting some sun.
