Misty Monday morning

It was a misty Monday morning , driving the Merc 609 to the job . Last week we finished one , so one to a new one . The 90hp diesel just kept tapping the 118 km/h on the scale , my co-worker Mark had a busy weekend so his feet where on the dash and his head sleeping in the cap of his hoody . Just a half hour of easy gliding and cruising the Dutch highways before things had to become busy .

The Mercedes 609D was not only for transport , it was a support base for two fully equipped construction site welders . A ton off tool's , two 350amp mig/mag Fronius weld machines , two Poucon 300 amp stick welders and a blowtorch rigg. Over 250 mtr weld cable and 120 mtr gas line . a netpower socket or generator in a 175 mtr reach is all it needed to operate . I used all my experience as a transport-truck builder , yes did that to ones , to design and build the inside off the mercedes 609D work fan . All equipment was placed ready for use , when fully max operational it could be transport ready in half a hour . Weight placement , like the 3 x 60ltr gas canisters 02 that where placed standing at the centre of the fan , added to driving safety and comfort ( it could drift true muddy corners or take speed-bumps way to faaast ;-) ) ,.... well , compared to many work-fan's , that tried to take me places i did not choose , it was a pleasure to drive . Pulling up the new building construction site , basically just a big 2 to 6 mtr deep hole fenced and enforced by metal sheet pile , i back up the Merc in to the site parking-place , notice a still locked vehicle entrance to the main site put it in first gear and park in front of the gate , kill the engine and kick DJ mark out of his slumber .

Look man , where at a infinite site , .... the morning mist of summer made it impossible to see the other side . Someone planed a big as office building , and we came to work on it's foundation . Start the fan , lets go.... we must be wrong , Mark's reply when wake made me laugh , no buddy you only trick me ones ;-) . i couldn't blame him for wanting to ditch work that day , a sunny 28 C+ hot day was predicted and indeed given to us later on . While dismounting from the Merc a slightly irritated almost exploding in rage ( i could feel that ) fast walking person comes towards me and my rig , What the hell i was thinking by blocking the entrance to his site with my hideous apparatus . Well sir , i do not block your well respected entrance , in fact it is your own closed and locked gate witch keeps me from getting to the job ,...sir , We are your ordered construction welders , we need the fan on site as a base , I assume sir is the site chief manager ? well sir , good morning sir . While apologising chief opens the gate in silence my co-worker hides his laughing ass in the fan .
An other week on the chain has started , a working class hero , pffff , it's something to be (bear) .

This short journal of randomness comes directly from the undocumented un-pictured (picture above is me back then ;-) ) un-digital storaged long gone past of small1axe a. k. a. Daniel , if appreciated i might continue this memoir . Who knows ? i might learn to improve my writings along the way ;-) . Questions on specific details are welcome and given my best to answer .

For now , i stay in peace , and peace to all .
