The past few days (all 7 from the whole week, really) have been pretty hectic. We tried to get ahead with the work on our truck (which had nothing wrong with it from the get-go), but ended up having more truck-related crap piled on for the next day, every day. I'll sum up with this: we put at least 100 man-hours into that damned truck this week, and nothing was wrong with it! We just kept having to add stuff to it. A few days ago, our resident electrician had to mount and wire some lights on the mine-roller. It took him 3 hours, and there was a dust storm going on the whole time. Yesterday, our FO and I swapped the blue force tracker (I've told y'all about this thing before) from some other truck to this one, and it took us 5 and a half hours (same dust storm raging). We were beat and pissed off by the time we were done, but it was a job well done. Well, to mess with that other guy's head, we told him we had to ruin what he'd done a few days earlier and he'd have to redo it. He was about ready to shoot someone until we told him we were kidding, hehehe.
A few days ago I found out I'm heading home a little sooner than I thought. Pretty kewl!
