M37 Powerwagon Wheels

[Mike Baker]

Hmm, many a time my career manager has softened the blow of a posting by saying "at least it's not Shilo." That said, my only experience of the place was to stop on the Trans-Canada and look at the water tower from a distance.

And as for Australia, I have to admit that I seriously considered moving to Melbourne after my first visit there. That is, until I went to the Melbourne museum and saw the spider display. We may have crappy weather here, but at least any animal that can kill you is generally loud enough to hear coming from a distance. I reconsidered again when we got to Brisbane and one of the local breweries gave us 48 cases of beer for free. How I do love our Commonwealth brethren!

I saw more than a few of the mechanics (usually Sr NCOs) who I worked with get posted from Shilo to Wainwright. Not sure if the Wainwright posting was to gradually re-integrate them back into the real world, or as further punishment as a result of some previous mis-deed towards the career managers. I also saw a few of them quit the service when the Wainwright posting came up. So perhaps there is a place worse than Shilo. Guess I'll never know, I am a lifer. The vehicle lineup out back is now too long to ever economically move, and the quonset hut/workshop would be hard to replace.Besides, I get free sand for sandblasting in the summer.

You don't want dessert in the desert.

Only desert? There are several sand deserts in Saskatchewan, and almost all of the arctic is by definition a desert. And, to keep on topic, I drove an M37 three-quad in Alert in the late 1970's. Love that wide shift pattern!

Okay okay so I don't use spell check...But there were no camels in Sask like there was in Manitoba? And dessert would be fine in a desert as long as it was cool and drinkable...?
Still no fricken bike lanes!
