We returned to Hercules Tower today only to be called back by
Rolla dispatch after setting up our gear.
There was a severe thunderstorm heading our way so we needed to return
to the Ava compound. The sun was shining
and there were nothing but puffy white clouds as far as the eye could see, but
we followed orders. Sure enough, 10
minutes after we got back there was a torrential downpour. Thanks Rolla dispatch!
While it was storming we performed a decent amount of tool
maintenance. After it was done…what
didn’t we do? We cleared the drains of
leaves and loose sediment, used said sediment to fill holes in the parking lot,
moved tires (one of which was so heavy it took 3 of us to move), consolidated
firewood piles, power washed the trailer we sleep in, threw away old signs, AND
took off and replaced some tin roof paneling.
I’d say my favorite task was working on the roof. I think I just love jobs with a view and
working at a new height grants a new perspective. Well I’m done for the day—one too many trips
with a wheel barrel filled with sediment up a hill. Night friends!
P.S. Our
blowers’ names are Tapanga and BilBlow Baggins.
How cool is that?
