Well G'day gents. It appears as though I was missed, at least for a while.
KSH had the right continent, wrong country. I am currently working on a new gold nmine project in Suriname. As he said, we're about 40 miles down a dirt road from the nearest highway, and a 4-hour drive from the nearest major town.
CM1995 emailed me a while back to see if I was OK. Thanks for that.
We work FIFO a month on, a month off. At work it's 13hrs/day, 7 days a week for a month, so not much time to spend on the internet. Basically eat, sleep, & work. Busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger........... The upside is that you only work 6 months/year.
What happened was that I came home on break for a month with every intention of getting back on here but then promptly went down with a bad dose of the flu'. I spent over a week in bed then the rest of the time getting over the symptoms. By the time I was right it was time to get on a plane again. SWMBO was not impressed.
The next break I was heavily into a house restoration project that I've been on for years and wanted to get moving because it had kinda stalled.
I arrived back home on break just a couple of days ago and had double hernia surgery yesterday, and although I was discharged from hospital the same day I'm now confined to barracks by the quack for 2-3 days and after that banned from driving for 10 days or so. So that should give me a bit more time to get back on here.
I guess I now have to read a load of posts and do some catching up .........
