Re: The cranky thread
Cranky?
I'm currently living in a 20foot container remodelled as a bedroom with toilet & shower, in Siberia. We're 280kM from anything resembling a village in the middle of Taiga that, I think, first saw humans when our survey crew arrived. We get here by helicopter, stay for 2 weeks and then chopper out to where we can get a light aircraft to Tyumen and then a Tu154 to Moscow. We use the mobile satelite link to do all our work, communicate and stay in touch with families.
Unfortunatley the water pump on our temporary well broke yesterday and my mechanical man won't be able to fix it till tomorrow when the supply chopper arrives. So showers, laundry etc, are not on our list of activities. We take water from the river, boil the heck out of it and drink that. We know we can drink it as it is, there's a village about 280kM down stream that does fine, but we can't take the 5 days of diarhea that would result as we change out stomach bacteria.
So, cranky? I can do that!
