Brrrrrrr looks cold! It was a very pleasant 82* here today. Light breeze from the west and sunny with no chance of snow! I have the same view of the pit minus all that slippery cold snow.

Sorry gotta convince myself that days like today are worth all the 110+ days we have!

No it is for desiel fuel for a fresh air recovery system that heats the air before it goes into the mine. I will post some shots of that tomorrow the pump unit that is in the pictures will have a fuel heater to warm up the fuel before it goes into the burners along with some other components which have yet to arrive the herc is apparently broken should be back in the air in a week or two. Nothing happens fast up here.

Not that I have any intention of going but, prison would be a cake walk after this place. When this contract is over I would have a hard time doing another I don't care how much they offer
