3D printed myself a table for the truck. Pretty pleased with the first iteration. I’ll see how it’s going after 7 days but, so far, version 2 only needs a few small changes.

I’m not sure that is entirely comfortable.

Oh lovely - the flies are at the “let’s constantly land on his ears and nowhere else” stage. I friggin hate that!

I JUST BOUGHT SHOES! And they’re not steel caps! Or boots. Or waterproof. Just shoes for wearing…around. Totally out of character.

“Modern art” vibes. Well, kinda. Just sanding and repainting an interior wall.

Kind of feel like like I need to paint a dick and balls undercoat on there so the next person to sand that wall back has some real art to appreciate 🤣

All day I haven’t been able to get warm enough. Now that the temp has dropped and I’ve pulled up for the night I’m sweating my arse off. Let’s just say it’s been a rough few days and I really don’t want to be here. Haven’t had a flu for a few years. Fucking sucks.

Heading home from Kalgoorlie but I haven’t got any interest in arriving at 3am - I think camping up and having a beer, a steak and some garlic prawns sounds way better👍

Passing by Amelup. The Stirling Ranges are looking impressive in the late afternoon sun. Nearly home.

Stupid bloody fuel unloading pumps that time out after 1.5 compartments. Why? I have three trailers of diesel to unload and I have to keep restarting pumps all the time? Obviously an engineer designed the system - not someone who has to actually use it.

Also first time onsite. I hate it when the first time is in the dark. A lot easier in the daylight - always embarrassing finding yourself at the bottom of an open pit mine with a triple roadtrain.

And repeatedly pressing the start button doesn’t restart the timeout for the unloading pump - tried it. You have to wait until it shuts off then restart. Fucking engineers 🤷‍♂️

Final (I hope) online inductions module. This one uses a really shitty text-to-speech voiceover and is definitely the most insufferable so far.
