Just amazing.

I would have never thought all the excavation would make so large holes. :o

With all these "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies that have come out. I've often wondered how many Pirates that sailed the Caribbean thought that the Big Blue Hole off Belize was the lair of the mythical "Kraken".  :-/

I was just about to mention that series, but was beaten to it, but yes, excellent series.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

As a strict Freudian I could make a lot out of Romulus hole fixation.... not so much a gynaecologist as a pot-holer ;D

I was so fascinated by that TV Documentary Series "Ice Road Truckers", and watching those big trucks hauling machinery across the Ice Roads to the Diamond Mines, that I purchased; "18 Wheels of Steel across America", "18 Wheels of Steel Pedal to the Metal, and "18 Wheels of Steel Haulin'" to simulate the experience...
...I even purchased a Steering Wheel and Pedals to go with them!... :o...!
How's that for a keen "Trucker"?....;)..!

...LOL... ;D...!

All that Diamond Mining certainly makes an unsightly blot on the landscape... :'(...!

Paul.... 8-)...!

Keep on Truckin'... ;)....>>>>
