Diary of a Slagmonkey. So what could be more opposite than Texas? Great way to break the ice, especially when one's contact does not know a word in English. Without further to-do, I will present the rest of this post in picture format. Tomorrow I will be a tourist in the fab. town of Hohhot. I was hoping for Beijing, but this'll have to do. Denver from 10,000 Feet. Wheird building @ LAX, smaller than I anticipated. Yup, you can watch the shower from the room. Hover Dump, enough said. Shit no. At leas...

Diary of a Slagmonkey. New Mexican Pit Stop. Escalante Generating Station, the site that this all started 18 months ago. Kinda nostalgic sense about this place, especially in thinking about how much things have changed since those days. Most things have changed for the better. This day was rather uneventful, so there is really not much else to write about. The sunset just outside of Holbrook, AZ was stunning:. That's it for today. Thank you for reading,. Location: Escalante Generating Station. Ps Of cour...

Diary of a Slagmonkey. Wrapping Up This German Trip. So, visits to Niederaußem and Neurath generating stations finished up the last trip. Four boilers in three days. Noooo problem, right? Shit no. At least the drive into these places was nice, Neurath is to the right and Niederaußem is to the left:. As in what were they thinking? I guess we'll go anywhere to get our job done, all in the name of customer satisfaction. Talk to you later from Texas. Thank you for reading,. Location: Niederaußem, Germany.

Diary of a Slagmonkey. A Day Trip in Inner Mongolia. He's the one not playing pocket pool. His throne has a dais made of human skulls, royal Indian elephants, and lots of horses. Not too sure if this was a statue or a tomb. It is sacred to the locals at any rate. The statue was the only structure in this gigantic square. This square is adjacent to a large and old Bhuddist Temple. Follow me inside, if you will:. Major Bhuddist Symbol (Harmony): Bird on a rabbit, on a monkey, on an elephant. I do I did.

Diary of a Slagmonkey: Amsterdam

Diary of a Slagmonkey. Thank you to everyone that provided feedback from my last post. It was difficult to write, as it is trying times. Trying not just for me, but for my family as well. I'll be home soon and I cannot wait! One thing that I discovered in writing the last post may be embodied in a picture that I've shared in Facebook. It is as true now as it was back then: No matter how dirty (filthy, hot, cold, rotten, &c) life gets to be, the most important things in life always shine through. Cholla a...

Diary of a Slagmonkey. First Week In Deutschland 23 - 30 Oct 11. Completed our first week in Deutschland, Brett and I have. We've had one day of putzing around Schnaittach and Nurnburg, plus an evening in. The most frequent question that is asked of me, and us to be sure, is: "How the hell do y'all handle being away from your family so long? However, for the day of return I feel like this:. Pictures and stories from Germany, Belgium, and Niederaussem Power Plant in the next blog. Thank you for reading,.

Diary of a Slagmonkey. Break Needed in Deutschland. So in order to fulfill a selfish endeavour, I wish to relive for the time being the aforementioned 13 hours. Rothenberg Fortress, at least the remains thereof. Large caverns underneath. Picturesque town of Schnaittach from the castle. Danged if I can figure out how a New York mousetrap found it's way here. Hello to Brett! So after cruising through the remains of the castle for an hour, we hopped into the car and headed off to Nürnberg. Some douche bag n...

Diary of a Slagmonkey: South Korea
http://slagmonkey.blogspot.com/2012/05/south-korea.html
Diary of a Slagmonkey. The Koreans take their power plant security very seriously. There've been times in which I've had to take all of the crap out of my Pelican cases to prove that I'm not a sabotour from Pyongyang. Heck, they even give random breathalyzers to the driver after lunch. I'd hate to think what they'd do if we had a few bottles of Jinro (BTW: Mmmmmmmmm! Korean Super Trooper Guards. Just the tip," of an island in the frame. The rest of the island at high tide. View my complete profile.
