well it's time to go

Post by **axbaby** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 7:43 am

well my hope is ..6 months africa heat 6 months arctic spring as a normal routine.

i can honestly say i would rather heat then -50 C with high winds.
you people have no idea what cold really is until you spent 15 years in the arctic.
famous last words i know i know but at least i get to skip one winter.

god i have no idea what creepy crawly things i'm going to see .. yuk
i'm used to grizzlies ..i wonder if Lions are worse

When you come back you're gonna be all like: "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving"

the horror... the horror...!

Take care ax - and try to have fun dispite of all the craziness i'm sure you'll see :icon14:

Don't take pictures of the airport there, you can get in some serious shit, as I found out.
Note: depends on country.

So what exactly do you do, are you a geologist?

Post by **axbaby** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 7:17 am

i make shitty quake4 maps and i'm a prospector ,geophysical technician ,big bad boss.. i use electronic devices to detect how magnetic and conductive the rock is under your feet and hundred of feet below that and then i take the data and make pretty maps to be used later to drill for orebodies.

in Africa i'm there to train the locals to do what i do ..basically to train my replacements and to pass on a good work ethic.
apparently they lack the will to work hard and i'm supposed to help with that.

nothing new ..i have been doing to same thing for 20 years with the native people and the inuit people.

i can't sleep but i have 16 hours on a plane to take care of that:)
