A month on the next contract and by then hopefully one of our bids should be
successful and I'll be staying for another project. I'm hoping to keep
working until April and then drive my friend's truck from Yellowknife to
Halifax before the Mackenzie Ice Bridge closes... that's usually around
April15th.

That should net me the 50K I need to live the rest of the year without
having to work.... and I can collect pogey for 6 months as well to offset my
bar tab.
