Today at Work!

[lfteixeira]

This one IS work related.

Someone called telling that the printer doesn't work.

Well, i found the source of the problem!!! :thumb2

 

[lfteixeira]

One more.

 

[lo_zarro]

quite unexpected, i suppose!

Well, in the spirit of the topic.

Not today, but working...

Note: My work is not plane related... But it was cool to be "close" with the airplane.

The airplane is an Airbus A340 and the airport is somewhere in Portugal as the handling equipment is from Portway. Looks to be somewhere on a freight apron as the building on the far right is DHL with what looks like a Netjets hangar to the left of it. It is not Lisbon or Faro so my guess would be Porto?

Not what you expect to find when you get called out to a malfunctioning printer. What sort of snake is it? Poisonous?

Not at all. But it was fun to show around the company... :naughty

Yes, Porto Airport, cargo "side".
Near DHL and other freighters.
It's a A340? Nice to know...

I don't know the species, didn't search at the time.
But in Portugal we don't have poisonous snakes... that i now of...

I was checking to see if the tyres would fit my Maverick... :thumbs

But after closer inspection, i don't think it would fit. :lol

Airbus A340-300 operated by AirX based in Malta. Thought I recognised the freight side of Porto

The nose wheels are a bit smaller so the body lift required will not be as high.

 

[Flying Torquewrench]

Not really today but yesterday. Flew into Lisbon to pick up some freight. Beautiful day to be flying.

Now 3 weeks off, going to Portugal for a few days of R & R followed by some digger work when I get back.

Spend the last week on a Caterpillar 349E working on the HS2.

Not allowed to take a photo on site, so you will have to do with a stock photo.

I'd love a day in one of those

Rick, have a look at the Antonov AN225. That is a real beast designed to carry the Russian space shuttle on its back. It can take up to 250 tonne of cargo internally or 200 tonne on top of the fuselage.

Not so much at work but at home I changed our two 50w LED floodlights to two 150w floodlights. (Separate corners of the house). What a difference that makes! Supposedly 16.000 lumens each.

Perfect for letting the dogs out in the evening before going to bed. Lights up the garden quite nicely.

Did a bit of tiling over the last couple of days.

 

[Flying Torquewrench]

And some floor tiles too.

 

[solarman216]

Looks nice but is the cold feed to the WC on the wrong side? and the waste pipe looks a tad high, but pics can lie, Rick

 

[Flying Torquewrench]

Cheers Rick. As far as I am aware everything is correct but I was only there to do the tiling. The pipework is all done by the plumber.
