Been almost a week since I last wrote anything here, I'm getting a bit slack. However, I am writing something now.
Very interesting week this week, I have been getting a bit more involved in the projects side of the business which is more up my ally. It basically deals with the big repeater systems and installing new towers, microwave systems, etc.
Tom will be pleased to know that I've been driving a landcruiser most of this week, I am looking forward to getting hold of a landrover at some point to keep the balance.
I've been sent on a couple of wild goose chases this week, first one to locate a dozer which turned out to be pretty nearby, only 26 km from where I was sent.
The other one was a remote site I was sent to find, with pretty average signage so I managed to miss the turn off and ended up about 20 km further up the road than I needed to be. Never mind, I got there in the end. This site had some good sized ants, I'll add a pic if I remember. I also met a brown snake... luckily I was inside the truck, and the snake was not.
Spent a couple of days putting up large microwave dishes which was interesting, I'm learning a fair bit about the new gear.
We have had the usual vehicle troubles, running around trying to locate serviceable vehicles is a constant battle. I've grown quite used to driving the landcruiser, it's pretty well worn in, with nearly half a million KM on it. Still runs OK, with a few minor issues.
Not much else to report at this stage, long weekend this weekend so will no doubt have to find something to do for a day or two. Might give me a good chance to build a better rat trap... the pesky pest is still on the loose, running around in the roof. Nothing like a challenge...
Right, in that case, I shall leave you with some pictures.
