Long Trip

All right, so big update. We've started our second job after a couple weeks with time off. After 5 days on the road and in the air we've finally made it to Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan, where our next job is. Its a very small job, only about 4 flights worth. The time its taken us just to get here has literally been double the the time its going to take to finish the job. But that's how it goes sometimes I guess. I don't mind, it was pretty cool to make the trip actually.

From the last job we left the airplane in Geraldton, which is a couple hours by car to the Northeast of Thunder Bay. There the airplane had its 100 hr checkup done. So we had to drive up from London again to get to the airplane. I left on Monday, spent my first night on the road in Toronto, then we spent two days driving to Geraldton. Our first flying leg took us 4.6 hrs Northwest to Thompson, Manitoba where we crashed for the night, and finally another 3 hours this morning onto Stony Rapids. That's 5 towns, 3 provinces, and 3 time zones in 5 days. A lot of miles. I was looking on a map of Canada today and we're actually closer to the Yukon now than we are to Toronto. Kind of funny. If anyone's counting thats 1300 km by ground, and 1600 km by air.

Tomorrow we stop being hotel hoppers and start getting actual work done.
