My African Adventure

[cobrajet69]

Got to cruise the Chianti Mntns in this last weekend. Thing hauls ass and is rugged as hell. Very stable too!

Make and model?

Polaris, but I would have to go outside to get the model numbers.

These things are badass. We took a tour of the outer perimeter and these things fly across this terrain.

NOT jealous. Well maybe of the dune buggy thing, but that's it!

The Indians use a lot of curry to help mask rotten meat and a lot of the spices that go into making have antimicrobial properties

I love moments like this. Last week I turned over my position in Agadez to an old boss of mine and I set out on a journey. Right now I am on a small camp in the middle of the Sahara desert south of the Libyan border.

I can't show pics of the base itself but here is some of the terrain. Hopefully the weather will clear up some and the dust will go away so I can get some better pics.

No pics today but I got my Warning Order for my next task.

Friday my replacement gets here. Funny that he is the same guy that the company had fire me almost 2 years ago, yes same company too. Shouldn't be too awkward, we've spoke many times since then.

Looks like I am heading to an ODA camp for a week or two then on to Senegal and a few other places. Hopefully, I can get to my room in Yaounde, Cameroon in time to relax a few days before my R&R around the 25th of July.

DOT would shit themselves.


After 500 km of bad road. I'm shocked it didn't fall when he set the brakes.

Having a chef sure changes the fricking morale around here. Fried chicken, homemade buffalo sauce that was better than BWW, chips (British for fries of coure) and a Bordeaux.

Figures the food gets good and now I have to leave.

Thanks for the updates

Cool pics again.

It would be rough being away from the family, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

This seems to be the work that fits me. I'm happy doing it vs working a 9-5 or slaving in the fracking industry. After not even 2 full months here, I am caught up on bills and a month ahead plus a week on mortgage and a month ahead on other bills. No big purchases or vacations this year and I will have debt back to zero by December and able to start stacking savings away again. My move in a few weeks to Cameroon will net me more each month too since I will be getting perdiem.....that is going to the Cobra fund.I

I certainly miss my wife and kid. I'm sure I will cry like a little bitch when Hailey comes running to me at the airport.

Sounds like its all working out for you then.

I would love a reset like that. The daily grind of 8-5 and making sure bills get paid is hard on the mind.

[KBScobravert]

Damn, Keith, you cant find a J.O.B. here in the states that will pay you near what your getting there? I guess I will answer my own question, you probably wouldn't be doing it if it did.


Stay safe man...
