Pay is amazing, OT is double time and I have a carpool of mostly cool people (the only other woman is the only mildly annoying one, she's a bit of a prig).

What's not to like!? oh yeah....getting up at 5:30 AM ...that is taking a bit of getting used to!

I go down into the mine tomorrow on a tour. 3200 feet down. Gulp.

I will take pictures and do a little report. Some may find it a bit interesting.
You going to duct tape a flashlight to that zipline / motorcycle / mining helmet you have. That damn thing sure is getting alot of use this year.
