You lucky, lucky bastard...
Sounds so much more interesting than what I'm doing these days :-(
Don't worry about the dust - probably won't show.

Subject: [OM] dust on lenses


I'm pooched...I have dust inside my lenses and on my viewfinder, I have
tried everything.. any suggestions..can I fix this myself or do I have to
take it in to get cleaned? How do I prevent this from happening again.. I
use this thing in the field all day long..


 FYI: my trip in Baffin island..
  If this thing isnt a full blown mine in 3 years. I'll be very surprised...
68% iron in the ground.. nothing grows here..just red and black rocks..they
say 35 years of mining..I've been asked to come back in March to re-open the
camp and build the new camp for the mine..$$$ dictates..

 I'm flying home friday night.. this has been a long and difficult shift,
the camp is like an international airport with flights going in and out day
and night, 3 helicopters flying drill core down and supplies up to the
drillers on the mountain all day long, hercules flying in fuel all night
long, and the skyvan shuttling bodies at 5-6 trips a day back and forth to
Pond Inlet.

 Sleep in tents, outhouse for toilet, 3 showers and a full camp of 85
bodies, at least the food is good and plentiful.. imagine watermelon in
Baffin Island, and I got to eat some seal, Caribou, Narwhal and polar bear..
I liked the seal best.. it gives you a rush of warmth, and the vitamin
content was fantastic.. I didnt catch any Char, didnt have time to go
fishing..
 There is an inch of snow on the ground now, it is overcast and about -2C,
last year this time it was -25C, so I am glad to be going home now.. I'll
see enough of the cold temps this winter before Egypt.





Cheers.. Tim Randles
