Howdy! It's been a while since I've been around but I thought I'd drop
in and say hi!
I think we have a few Aussies here? It's voting day and raining so we're going to get wet :(
Anyway if anyone is around I'd love to hear from you!
Cheers,

Not from Australia, but will the USA do? We had rain in SE Texas today, but it's clear and sunny now.

My company is based out of Texas, and I'm apparently going to be
traveling through Texas quite a bit. I just finished a trip from DFW, Anson, a couple of other small towns, and ended up flying out of
Midland. I'm supporting solar and wind farms, apparently there's lots of land to spread out there. :)

They do say everything is bigger in Texas lol. Sounds like you'll have a lot of travel to do especially if they build more solar/wind farms in
the future. do you get to go up in the turbines? I'd love to go up in
one but I don't think I have the courage to go up on top held on by a
tiny rope ;)

To give you an idea of how big Texas really is, Interstate 10 (I-10) that traverses the south of Texas is about 880 miles long. I-5 in California is just short of 800 miles.

..... In steel toe
workboots and a hard hat, which is quite funny after a career of working in server rooms and corporate offices.
I haven't gone up in a tower (yet), my work has been in ops buildings managing the systems that manage the wind and solar farms. In steel toe
Just remember, safety is number one! Even in the office!
I've always thought I would make a good long distance truck driver, I've seen a few youtube channels by long distance truck drivers and it does look like heaps of fun.
I did get a certification in health and safety, boy was it a lot of paperwork... I did always wonder what the point of a safety helmet was
if the crane fell on you =p
Mostly because the working conditions can be... not great. Things like, "You _have_ to be in x place at y time". You show up at y time, and there'll be no one there to deal with your load for 3 or 4 hours, during which time you will not be getting paid, and the delay interferes with your ability to be home for the weekend.
Help protect the head for your open-casket funeral.

But I think it might be somewhat better outside the US. Not sure. Just that,
