Workplace "window"

[Achto 27,563]

Gotta say, I'm kinda jealous of the views that some of you guys have from the "office". The only view I have is a generator, viewed through a dirty window with the reflection of my computer.  

A 21.9 liter 400kw unit running on natural gas today.

@Achto how much hot oil has covered that window in the past… and not your face?

Not that much oil, but a fair amount of coolant has adorned that window for sure. Much better than in ones face.

Shush Kev ....he was too busy putting up  here when the genny had a runaway.  Let's just blame it on the engineers.

We might have a mess in our window, tornado warnings just went off.  Yay Orlando!

Tap yer heels three times together....

There were warnings followed by tons of screams from neighbor houses as the warnings came in.  I heard clean up equipment this morning for an hour or two, but no visible damage.  Last day of vacation coming quick

And people wonder why I put up with the nasty Winters in Maine.....

 

I don't think I really need the tornadoes. You Southern folks can keep em. 😀

We visited Uncle Joe and Aunt Debbie from northern MI yesterday for lunch.  He was kind of bragging about the fact that FL doesn’t get tornadoes like the northern southern states (AL, GA, TN, etc..). Then that!

Orr's Island and Bailey Island, Maine. 

Proper rocky oceanfront.

These are on my way to work.

 

On Wednesdays they had a open mic afternoon. Alot of folk music and free hotdogs.

Spent a few days at lake Georgetown. Good internet so somebody did some work,  I just worked on a small project.

Here's a view looking out the north door of our shop last summer as a storm was coming in

 

And a couple from a couple months back when I had to go down on the river in the wrecker...these are about 40 miles south of where I live so it's not completely flat everywhere here

 

And finally these were taken yesterday on another little road trip into Texas in the rollback

I got 2 Louis Lamour books as a gift when I was about 12 or so. 

One was Silver Canyon. Theo other I can't recall.  

I've had a fascination with that type landscape since. 

Trina and I went to N Dakota nearly 6 years ago. 

Went to see the Painted Desert and some other reserved lands. 

Incredible.

This guy has all the cool toys.

Here's a time lapse I shot from our shop window of Marine 1 being loaded and departing a few years back when Trump was visiting Chicago. Air Force One will fly into O'Hare and the support aircraft usually fly into Midway. My wife was working at O'Hare that same night and got the pic of Air Force One from her "office."

@ebinmaine, while I was out there I would have went to see the real desert, and not just the “painted” desert… duh…

[Oldskool 6,643]

Yesterday's view.

I'm afraid will be much of the same for a few days to come.
