Not a question of enjoying myself... but more of a question of a big fat pay cheque.

Actually its a return to my old stomping grounds. The new "Kids" seem to have become clueless about working and details in the High and I mean High Arctic. It has become civilized since I was last up there. I hear there are STOP signs now in the hamlets. I wonder if the local mountie is going to be issuing traffic tickets. LOL

On the plus side, I hear its a reunion of old farts up there. My buddy Rudi is one of the project managers and I will be replacing him so he can take a break and go south for a breather.
 
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....Cold............Good luck Cap'n
 
Good luck up there Harvey, and be safe

At the risk of being un PC.... Rudi is probably chewing the ass of the newfies and city slickers up there. He was supposed to do a 4 week gig and that was several months ago. He asked for me to haul in some wine. Its a dry zone up there.

Hopefully the project is going to speed up, as I dont relish -60 and 24 hour darkness for to long. Its great when you are young and foolish but I need sun and wine and woman and song <eg>

I will know what is going on tomorrow as I have a meeting with the project engineers and project manager. Dayum last time I saw these guys they were still in nappies and now they are the managers and chief engineers. lol
 
I don't doubt that for a minute, I can imagine what hes like, and I shouldn't think that wine will last long!

I don't think I could cope with the cold and darkness up there, I am a sun and sand person, and no women or booze would drive me crazy.

Any chance of taking a few pics while your up there to share with us?

Will do... but most of it is endles tundra and snow. But will do as soon as I get up as later there isnt a flash large enough to take photos lol.


Also got to pack a cushion or two as the seats in the jerky herc are throwbacks to the old rumble seat.
 
Sorry :o A bit late I know
But thought I'd wish you
Good luck
Lots of Thermals :nod:
& good fun :D
Can't wait to see any piccys you get :nod:
 
Coming Home......

Info has reached me that Harvey is returning home from the frozen wilderness this weekend :nod:

Its going to be good to see him back safe and well, and just in time to join in the remnants of the 15M Points Party at the Tavern!:D
