My full time job that pays for this expensive 33x112'lot (no g.d. room for Power Wagons here) in the very beautifull city of Vancouver B.C. is working for Terasen Gas as a pipeline inspector but my part time job (I can't believe I get paid to do this) is driving a 2.5 ton Gun Tractor w/Howitzer on training exercises with the Royal Canadian Artillery. It's can be a lot of fun especially when the gun crew is switched on but unfortunately there is always the potential for accidents in this line of work. I also work in the MT section of the Regiment and have been given the assignment to maintain a refurbished 1953 M-37 that belongs to the Regiment's Museum that will soon be sharing stables with a fully restored 1943 C.M.P. Field Artillery Tractor w/limber & 25pdr. I feel very fortunate to have a part time career that combines my interest in the Military with my passion for vintage vehicles. In the "whip" department I have a thing for big old Hemi Powered Chryslers and C3 Corvettes and am slowly trying to complete a 1948 UL "hillclimber" project to complement my old Husky and CanAm dirt bikes. Ive really got too much on my plate but I can't seem too part with any of them just yet. Nuff said, Barry
