294.365 6:30AM

I decided to do a one day photo project today. Just with my iPhone nothing too serious. Just for fun. It started with the following image of my morning coffee cup and went on from there.

294.365 6:30AMFriday October 21 2011.

First conscious memory of the day. :-)

The Last Look
The Last Look.
This is the last thing I see when I leave for work in the morning. I get him up every morning and make sure he gets dressed and eats. He looks as tired as I was. TGIF!!
On The Road
On The Road
I'm on the road. As you see, it's fall in Edmonton, Alberta and it's dark when I leave for work at 7:00 AM. Still light when I come home but not for much longer. :( Nothing like sitting in traffic drinking coffee to wake you up.
Sunriise
Sunrise
I usually see this type of sunrise when It's dark enough out in the morning. Not the best photo but you get the idea.
Back Hoe Sunrise
Back Hoe Sunrise
You just have to love the sunrise on a shiny clean back hoe. LOL.
The First Of Several.....
The First Of Several.....
Walks to the main building 1/2 a mile down the road. I will drive if the weather is bad or I have lots to carry but I really prefer to walk. It gives me time to get over the anger on my way back to my office from the main yard. :)
Work To Be Done.
Work To Be Done.
We have been cleaning out our Quonset this week. It was a huge disaster thanks to the guys in the shipping department. Here we have to level this platform so I can erect some pallet racking on it next week. And you guys thought I just sat at the desk placing orders all day long. LOL.
Incoming Product.
Incoming Product.
Here's the most boring part of my job. Ordering supplies for the field jobs. They send me a list, I order it, I send it out to them. Woop-de-doo. I much prefer to order equipment but I'm done with that for this year I think.
Piles Of Paperwork.
Piles Of Paperwork.
This is today's pile. Not so bad. I still had time to get some work done outside.
Finally Home.
Finally Home.
Usually this is the one who greets me first when I get home. Today I had to chase her down. :)
A Canadian Institution.
A Canadian Institution.
Tim Horton's is a Canadian coffee and dognut chain. All my Canadian friends will be quite familiar with this place I'm sure. Mmmmmm Coffee.
Thus It Ends.
Thus It Ends.
And so my day ends as it began, with a large cup of coffee. Yes, I can drink coffee and fall asleep at the same time. :)

This concludes a typical day for me. Thanks for tuning in. LOL.

Hey, I just noticed I had the French side turned towards the camera....Oh, well I have enough French speaking friends that they will appreciate it. :) That just shows how tired I was by this point. What a long week it's been.

293.365 My Ride This Afternoon

293.365 My Ride This AfternoonThursday October 20 2011.

Yup, I get to drive the coolest things at work sometimes. This came back from a job site and needed to go over to my mechanics. Why bother them when I can just hop in this beast and drive it over to them. Just down the road a bit.

What a heavy machine. So far this is the biggest machine I've driven. Sadly, it's the biggest we have so I will have to be happy with that. :)

292.365 Dinosaur Egg?

292.365 Dinosaur Egg?Wednesday October 19 2011.

While walking around the yard at work today, I noticed this egg shaped rock. It's a bit bigger than a goose egg. I've been on the look out for smooth neat shaped rocks for the kids to pain this winter. This one is mine.

This will make a very cool Easter egg.

Maybe I should crack it open to see if there is a dinosaur in it first. LOL.

Monday October 17 2011.

Our receptionist here at work loves Halloween. The front office of the building is loaded with decorations such as this one. This one is on the door to the main building from the front office. They eyes light up and flash. Quite creepy when you are standing in front of it.

Friday October 7 2011.

A bandsaw blade slowly rusts away in the elements. Once it cut steel down to size so it could be fabricated into some amazing structures. Now it rots in a silent coil.
