Punching a Portal....
Not like the movies at all
 Just inked the contract, going to blast a portal in horizontal at the bottom of a large open pit mine so they can continue underground mining operations. Also have to blast a fresh air raise shaft from tundra grade all the way down. Ducting, heaters, 600hp fans, stench gas, should be fun... 55 miles from the arctic circle - wish I could type 43 miles  Now to find out how bad of shape I'm in, ECG/Lipid Profile/Fasting Blood Glucose/Mantoux (TB)/Chest Xray and run my sorry azz of on a treadmill with wires attached lol What a time of year to start this, we have to quit at the end of Nov and come back late May..... Dirk

Up on the 550 in CO between Durango and Oray...
"In 1906, the Red Mountain Mining and Milling Company started a project to drain the mines in the district. In 1904, work began on the Joker Tunnel, a 4800-foot bore, that went from the level of Red Mountain Creek to the Genessee-Vanderbuilt mine. There were also branches that went to the Guston, Robinson, and Yankee Girl Mines. The Tunnel was completed in 1907. The Red Mountain District saw an immediate improvement in mining activity. The tunnel drained the mines of the water that had caused their closure. When the first branch of the Joker Tunnel was completed to the Yankee Girl mine, which had been closed since 1894, mining resumed immediately. As the other mines in the district were drained things began to look up." http://www.coloradovibes.com/2010/02/ironton/

I can't think of anything more fun than playing with dynamite at the North pole

Well, enjoy the call of duty. Blow some stuff up in our honor please sir!
 I've been on the road for the last six months. This latest job is all travel and no play. It's all about traveling, to a new location or two weekly depending on the contract. I do get most weekends home Bob
