Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, ok not really but it sounded good...lol.
I used to build those prefab buildings like that. We used to have to free walk the beams, so I know the pucker feeling oh so well. Wasn't even as high as you were but I still never got used to it.

Great pics and thanks for sharing them.

So I'm back (again), from Mexico (again), and so I figured I'd just keep using this thread. This time we flew commercial From Tucson - Dallas - Monterrey and then met up with a guy who drove us 3.5 hours to Conception del Oro (known as "Concha" to the locals). We arrived in Concha after dark and the town was completely pitch black, no power. The two hotel rooms we reserved somehow got lost, so we were without rooms and so that took some "negotiating". No running water, so I smelled great the next day. The reason for the power loss for the whole town was first said to be due to a bomb attack at the local church... then it was an electrical transformer that blew up, then it was a fireworks accident. As it turns out, the fireworks accident was correct. The entire town celebrates "Conception" (the birth of Christ) for a couple weeks and tragically, two young boys were killed in the accident. Here's a picture of what's left of the building:

Pretty crazy stuff, luckily the power/water got turned back on the next day.

So the reason for the trip was business, so here is a nice picture of me, taking care of business. I'm standing next to one of the ball mills, which has a bunch of steel balls rolling around in it, crushing the rock to a nice fine dust.

No, those muscles are not photo-shopped, they are the real deal folks - 100% pure too, no roids used. Feel free to stare.

Glad to be back, gonna go grab some scotch and a cigar now and hang up some Christmas lights with the wifey.
