"Copy, control? Can someone please come get me? ...again?"
Illustration of my morning:
What you cannot see:
-that the underside of the car on the driver's side (ie, side closest to camera) is, in fact, resting on the 'ground'
-that the car is in fact on a 30° angle, listing to port (ie, not the driver's side)
What I pretty much now owe the guys at work for having to tow me out for the second time in a week:
-a box of beer or equivalent
Heh. (At least it was clearly and spectacularly stuck this time. Last time it was just up to the rims in loose gravel which meant I needed towed out but it looked like I was just a moron. This time I was clearly screwed. And as S. said -- at least, unlike my bossother people, I only needed another ute to tow me out and not a 20 tonne digger. \o?)
What I have learned today:
-Do not try and reverse with the sun in your eyes, because inevitably you are FAR CLOSER to the sludge underneath the plant than you think you are. (Seriously, if I had waited five minutes? The fog would've come up again and I would've been able to see. That sentence should not exist, and yet- is the truth!)
