Out of the fog

[expat]

Probably not so clever to be taking pictures over your shoulder whilst towing $70 million  (plus or minus a mill or two) in thick fog, but I think it came out quite well.

Interesting, hopefully you didn't jack knife it!

Can I take a guess at what it is?

Too late, I think it is a 737-??? Air Berlin

Yes, I don't know how I managed to contain myself...................at 5 kph

Wow what a great job you must have!

You would not think so when it is two in the morning, the rain is coming down sideways and you have a main wheel to change [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]

I know that feeling so well... you forgot to mention the almost freezing temperature that goes with the sideways rain, and the windgust...

when you are wetsoak up to the underwears at the end of the first hour of your shift...

when you can't touch the parts you are supposed to replace without being either frozen or burnt...

when you get temporarily blind due to that @*#$& hydraulic fluid jumping into your eyes while holding a very expensive and sensible parts in your hands, while being 10 feets high trying not to fall down....

and so, and so... the life of A/C engineers...







and you like it, so much, don't you?

PS I will trade being a trucker with you......................sitting on your rear all day (air con in summer, heating in winter) with a portable coffee machine at hand and reading the paper whilst some one with a fork lift unloads you


PPS I have a truck license, a just in case to fall back on and ...........................you could not pay me enough. Respect to you.
