The arrow points to my home base → Calgary Alberta Canada.
Currently live on a farm, near the Millarville RaceTrack. Using Google Maps, the direct distance is about 35km SW of the Calgary Tower – located in the city core.
Back in Aug-2016, I purchased a 1988 GMC Grumman 23 foot StepVan.
Since then, I’ve put in about 350 feet of 1.5 inch angle-iron, to make shelving.
On Oct-12-2019, the head gasket blew out – on the motor.
As of Jan-19-2020, the truck is still out of commission. Perhaps by summer, I’ll have the funds to purchase a rebuilt motor…
When possible, I produce stock footage – for the Dissolve Stock agency.
There’s a link in the SideBar…
My main source of income for the past 6 years – doing handyman contract work…
