Wiggo’s been quiet for a few days. Any ideas?

I hope he is O.K.

No news about Wiggo. But I did like the musical interlude.

What a crazy day trip!

So that was three days wiped out and a dodgy stomach for the sake of a short onsite meeting in the food desert... Ok, so there was half a day of debrief also.

And so... The news is very good for the short term results. We've a worrying outlier longer term that is being chased up, hopefully not a killer. Hopefully, all good enough, especially after all the effort that has gone into reshaping operations there.

So, good enough for installing some new equipment!

... Even when one panel of that equipment is twice the price of the modern stuff for the sake of going 'retro' due to requiring levers and analog control knobs to interface into the existing workings! Surely... A few digital encoders/converters as a bolt-on to interface to the new electronics don't cost that much?!... (For that thing, I'm also very relieved and reassured that there is no network connection either!... Or is that why it's more expensive?...)

So... All useful, and my interpretation skills were indeed very much needed at the meeting. Also, quite some coordination was needed to make it all happen!


Now back in Civilization and back with a poorly stomach again! How? Why? For just one day!!

Next suspicions is something about the canteen over there, or the bread, or the water even? Or just a totally disrupted routine??

Hey ho!


And...

Cue a posting from Wiggo?

(Hope he's shown those Triffids who is still Boss?!)

Hopefully Wiggo is enjoying a good fun holiday in the sun!


And just a day later and my stomach s fine oncemore. Quite a curious contrast...

And busy, busy, busy racing up to a deadline...

Wheeee... How time flies?...

Deadline met...

Even better, the rest of the team finished off their bits just in the nick of time!

Hopefully all for a good result.

And I've been sat hammering away at a keyboard for far too unhealthy long...

All to be made healthy again tomorrow deliberately away from the computers stuff!


Then again... There's some new parts orders to chase up... Ooops... That's likely one for the Friday rush...

All good fun!


And we'll have to guess that Wiggo is laughing and dancing in the sun!

Thanks...


So... After the rush... Enjoying a moment of being unhassled.

Here there is subdued mild sunshine, only a few calls and one schedule change, and a good pause for clearing up the workspace. Most of the others have cleared off early.

Dare I chase up to see how the food desert gang are doing?... I think that one is for later. Don't want to spoil the schedule here!

All good fun :-)

And the beautiful springtime weather helps. Definitely feeling the benefit of falling over the Equinox!

Very comfortable 50f low and expecting 65f high. This is perfect weather for my tastes.

After somewhat of a rush for the morning, I've been able to enjoy a good catch-up relatively undisturbed for the afternoon. Just the one extended meeting but otherwise, the rest of the world seems to be enjoying an early Friday escape into the springtime sunshine!

... Which comes to... Sheesh there's a lot of clearing up to do from this week! All of admin, orders, and actually doing a clearup...

I've had some surprisingly good feedback from the report from earlier this week. Hopefully, from that we get equally good results...


And now comes a good brew!


And... My stomach is perfectly fine. I do wonder if it's the complete lack of fruit, and the excess of ultra-processed foods + dubious additives, that is suffered over in the food desert. Unfortunately, that gets tested again... Next week...


And, and... How BIG is that "Where's Wiggo" wanted (alive) poster?
