Hey, @tattoodjay.
I guess there really isn't a way to prove that I recognized what this was from the first image. :)
Quite the experience. It is amazing, and scary, what we are capable of when we're young, but I probably would have attempted the same thing, though if someone else with me were better at driving trucks, I would have been the one in front instead. :)
I have to salute you, though. Who knows what would have happened to the truck had you left it there. I hope your boss/leader was happy you did what you did, despite some minor damage to the trucks, because I do think it was the right thing. Scary, dangerous, but ultimately, better than leaving the truck there.
I've done some stressful driving in my time, though, and now I avoid it as much as I can. :)
Of course no way to prove it, but i trust that you did :)
Yes looking back I do think it was a totally crazy idea to do, but it worked out pretty well, Luckily i was the boss of our section, so the biggest trouble I got in from my Boss was why I was on the trip and had not sent the team, I didnt exactly brief him on why the trip took so long LOL
Yes I to avoid stressful drivign these days I guess with age has come some common sense
I have been asked by a few people to share some of my interesting experience when working in the field in Missions, and believe it or not this as probably one of the less crazy experiences to relate and fitted these photos :)
Some of our churches are equipped with the larger satellite dishes, mainly for conferences held twice a year, but every once in a while there's a special broadcast in between they're used for. They generally sit right out front so you seem them going in and out. That's basically how I knew. :)
re: less crazy
Okay, then. Can't wait to read about the 'more' crazy ones then. :)
yes Satellite comms is still used a lot for news feeds and broadcasting and where other options are not available for audio such a telephone but its not ideal due to latency,
Dont hold your breath waiting for more of my adventures, I am OK with talking about them with colleagues at work who have been through similar, but for people that havent experienced that life they may seem weird bizarre or unlikely if that makes sense, but I am giving serious thoughts to writing about some of them
