Back at work - trying disparately to get caught up. Things remain very busy for Synchro32. Simon is just back from South Africa for a software installation. Soon, Simon and Richy will be crossing the pond again headed to North America for more installations. Then, Chris and Simon will be headed to the land down under for more installations and the Australian Foundry Institute - AFI - Conference and Expo in Melbourne. Chris will also be making a "side trip" to Brazil for more work there. Before long, it will be October and Richy will be back in North America for more installations, customer visits, and to meet up with me in Indianapolis for the Investment Casting Expo.
I was on vacation last week going to Colorado for some well deserved R&R. The weather was cool and crisp - highs in the 70's and lows at/below freezing - nothing even close to that temperature wise here in Texas during the oppressive summer. We covered 2616.4 miles in 9 days spending 55 hours and 38 minutes in the vehicle, burning up 144.7 gallons of petrol, getting an average of 18mpg in my huge heavy Chevrolet Avalanche, made in Mexico, 4x4 Z71 edition. I got an oil change before we left and burned up 25% of the oil change.
Very Short little videos I shot going to Colorado Taylor Lake area with my next door neighbor last week. I've got a slew of pictures to go through before I post them - I'm sure you don't want to see 500-600 pics.
We were lucky that we were just pulling into a town when the storm hit and were able to park under a gas station awning to ride it out w/o damage. I'm always worried about the sunroof getting cracked. It was a wild frightening looking storm - for a while it looked like we were going to run right smack dab in the middle of it. Fortunately, the road curved away from it. See attached pics. Reminds me of the Poseidon Adventure Adventure - the Original Version -
"That's a frightening target sir and getting closer".
I've got that on DVD - perhaps I'll watch it tonight...
