Nice one grumpy, i see in the second pic that the bintangs were going down well.
You still in balikpapan or out in the sticks?

[GRUMPY]

Still in Balikpapan. Got a site visit to do next week. Head off Monday, home again on Wednesday.

[GRUMPY]

That was a fooked up site visit. Cnuts are breaking my gear.

In a great big pond like that why would you suck up the shit on the edge?

[GRUMPY]

A bloody pig pond that.

Wet season, it's been whooping down. There's a heap of water to get rid of.

Those chickens look quite large for Asian birds. Look tasty though.

[GRUMPY]

The chooks weren't Asian. Local chook is like a road runner.

thats exactly what i have always found haha

noisy fukkers in the morning though, big competition for the call to prayer from the mosque

Having said that, I actually agree with my missus now, local bird is much tastier than imported!

Perhaps an organic vs farm fed thing?

[GRUMPY]

It's a bit dry and stringy but tasty, the local chook. KFC isn't the shit.

Built a new barby for the container...

A cop shot one the illegal miners on site yesterday. They went tits.

The camp....

[GRUMPY]

The mess...

[Mid]

Jezee Grumps stay safe mate

[GRUMPY]

I'm not there.

Was booked to travel on Monday but I'll pass. All my crew got out, the workshop's been looted then burned to the ground. The site rents all of their cars from us, last report is 6 have been trashed and burned.

[GRUMPY]

I'm getting all this by remote...

[GRUMPY]

It's a gold mine, with the drop in gold price I don't see a restart coming anytime soon.

^ Looks like thats the end of that project Grumpy, Hope your Light vehicles were insured, Tough times ahead for gold miners i think?, our plant is still pumping the oxide through, and they are making money still , but we are a fairly low cost mine to Run, Also mining Copper which is the one making the bucks so we arent relying on the Gold output , sure hope the copper stays strong though .
Having said that we are committed to drilling through the wet season which is unusual and also a logistical pain in the arse, but at least we know they are serious, For now

Bugger, lucky none of your colleagues got hurt. I can understand the frustration but sorta cutting their noses off, aint they?
