    I don't pay attention to rumours, only pictures and official updates, i moved out just over a month ago, that place has been leveled. Im OTR now out of winnipeg. my car is still at a buddies in gregoire trailer court, not much i can do about it there haha.

    sounds like fm is in for another rough day, Pete potipcoe posts regular updates from reliable sources on his personal facebook page

    I'm thinking I picked the wrong week to delete Crackbook lol. I was just downtown about an hour ago and everything was still there. Had to keep to the back streets to avoid attention from cops. We all moved back to the shop opposite of Taiga Nova today. Cooking up some chicken and pizza I raided from my freezer. Haven't eaten in over 24hrs. I need a belt. Gotta stop every 12 steps to pick up my pants lol.
     
    Prairie Boy and Junkyarddog5958 Thank this.

    They shut it down at 11 last night. His phones dead but I managed to get a hold of his boss and he said things are going good. I gave him a phone charger and some cash to take to my dad. Hopefully I'll talk to him tonight.

    Here's one for you heavy haul guys. Permits? What permits? The pic of its tri-drive twin didn't turn out though. This was just south of the Suncor overpass last night.

    Just heard a fuel truck rolled over and caught fire between Lac La Biche and Conklin on 881 about 15 minutes ago. Apparently its on fire and spread to the trees already.
