Deflave has allegedly been forcibly removed from the building. Oh, the horror. Parting shot. Bedtime is getting nearer... Still negatory 47.

Want ice? A few miles south you'll find this ice berg the size of Delaware, 2300 square miles. It broke off the Antarctic ice pack in '17 and is slowly floating north. Usually bergs this big break up but this one hasn't yet. They figure it will when it get more into the open ocean. They've been watching it constantly as it approaches the main shipping lanes. The main berg is easy to keep track of but if pieces break off, they could be hazardous.

Parting shot. Bedtime is getting nearer... Still negatory 47. Great shots of the aurora borealis, be cool to find a dark spot and try your hand at a short video....

Possibly... PM me. CDL A with tanker and Hazmat mostly. Update See if I can find anything interesting to post for Saturday night. Hovering near negatory 49-50. Tired. That sucker will be around for a while. Want ice? A few miles south you'll find this ice berg the size of Delaware, 2300 square miles. It broke off the Antarctic ice pack in '17 and is slowly floating north. Usually bergs this big break up but this one hasn't yet. They figure it will when it get more into the open ocean. They've been watching it constantly as it approaches the main shipping lanes. The main berg is easy to keep track of but if pieces break off, they could be hazardous. We'll see. Usually in the work flow. A brief stop doesn't garner too much attention. Lol Parting shot. Bedtime is getting nearer... Still negatory 47. Great shots of the aurora borealis, be cool to find a dark spot and try your hand at a short video....

Great pics Boomer.
Does equip and vehicles run 24x7 up there? When used or not. Yes. We're all diesel here and everything is running unless fubar. Fifty engines or thereabouts. Generators, heater trailers, light plants, crew vans, water trucks, loaders, pickups, fuel trucks, graders, a Tucker snow cat, pump houses, snow blower, chippers, rock trucks, maxis, winch truck, crane, potable water trucks, all working or running high idle 24/7. Roughly 60 persons for now. Generally the boss won't allow gasoline on the rig but got overruled by the client for a van for the telecom guys that got the cell service going. It will be going out tomorrow. Imagine the bill, for just sitting here watching for leaks! Diesel is our life blood. Would get damned cold real quick without. Just sitting we've had multiple big rig tires go flat, a grader threw a rod, a few rigs have had radiators go to chit. Dick says he'll pack up in the morning, sleep until my ride is here and then start the journey out. Rollagon, then ground transport maybe a van, spend Sunday night at another camp. Fly to the big city Monday. It's warming up. Above -40, might start getting things going. Thanks for the Dick pics Boomer. You betcha. Always a pleasure to show....

Damnation that's a lot of rain! Those burned areas you mentioned get nailed? Almost certain to be a heck of a mess.
You ever get north of the line?
Warned up fast here to negatory 30F already. And hardly a breaze. Downright warm compared to last night.

Some sights from my outbound journey so far. Warmed up, negatory 20. I shed the longjohns for the last leg to the airport. A big ass mobile rig. There's two pieces there. Looks like a high dollar machine. Dick saw this. Transport thingy. Crane weighs 80,000. A camp.
