Crazy day today....

My knee is still buggered, but I wanted to get the bearings sorted out on the dryblower so that’s what I did, EXCEPT...

I messed up the hydraulic gear puller a little while pulling the bearing off the shaker table shaft..... (cheater wrench) 

Then after I got that in to a Trent to fix and after we had lunch I went back out to reclaim some dirt.....first thing I did was raise the outrigger and because I still had the door open, it smashed it into my left window in all over me... 

So now I have to call HQ, who just happened to be working on my last f.up...

reported the news,,,,,,

He has given me a new name besides Yank, now it is Conan...The Destroyer....

He asked me to just take a break and don’t touch anything else until he could catch up....

Life in the fast lane....

I'm headed to Rye Patch tonight.  It is in the 20s (below freezing) at the beginning of the morning.

Good video.

Hello all,

Well I'm back in the USA working near Tacoma at a VA facility which helps vets suffering from PTSD and other who may be homeless, and then others who have pain issues.

I will try to get some of my videos placed here-- sorry that i could not work out the best way to update here regularly with videos.

It is very easy for me just to share on Facebook ...and a few of you follow me there... i really want to take time to learn how to edit my videos better so i can pit them on here. Some are just raw vids from my phone that would drive a lot of you crazy waiting for the gold picture.

Dig videos are really iffy because you dont know if the target is worth taking the time to set up a camera.... Carrying extra gear around to video is also a hassle... but this year i was close to camp in WA and i got some fairly good videos of me craking open pieces of the iron cap--- i did this on the flat bed of my car (truck) once again a pain to get everything set up to get a halfway decent shot.

I did get a video of Trent and me digging up the biggest piece i got --a 12 grammer and that was fun....

I will have 3 days off a week here so maybe i will take some tine to go thru the videos and post up a few. I left my phone with the SD card on top of a taxi in Perth and it ended up in a neighborhood near the airport (according to google "find my phone" so i had to do a remote erase on it--- i see google had backed up a lot of my stuff in photos so i hope i didnt really lose much.

3 in the morning in Tacoma---8pm in WA---- 86 days left on this contract and Trent already has some more ground for me to go over when i get back!

By he way what is the absolute easiest way to share videos in forum posts without having to create a link to my google photo account???

Or i that the easiest way?

I would rather not have to make people have click a link to see the video.

(and i understand why we cant just upload videos straight off our phone.)
