Day two working in Oahu

It didn't take me long to feel really at home in the Hawaiian islands! 

Day two was happy day for me...

Lots of work to do so off we go

We traveled with company today...

Our cranky GPS named Jill and her GPS tourist guides
&

My niece Alicia who lives in Oahu

So more of this.....

 Picked up Alicia here

And with cranky Jills directions
We went to get Phil's key corrected.
Seems they didn't set his key
 up for Hawaii as
planned. 

No time for breakfast so Alicia and I, ever
watchful, saw a farmers market and walked down.
Oh heavenly stuff.

 Came back with Kaula pork yummy!

Off we go to the job site.

Jill's GPS travel guide friends pop in & out telling us the sites.
Once is good but we drove back and forth
Do you know how many times I heard about
Laie? At least 6 times!  These two Hawaiian voices
male and female really got into their stories...Actors really.
How can we turn this off?

These are the photos on the way to the first cell site
it was on the roof of a golf course building.

 
 

Tripod photos
no one was around

 

So that is the first cell site of the day.

It can take Phil a while to get into a location. It goes like this;
Get permission and passes to enter the site
(this applies to the inside sites)
un-lock the multi doors
(the locks can really freeze up between uses!)
Call some mystery line to report you are in a site
(This keeps them from sending security to see who broke in)
Take photos and record any issues.
These have been quality checks
Yesterday was meeting crew bosses to start other sites,
different drill.
Don't forget to call the mystery lne as you leave to
report you are OUT!


During that 30 to 40 plus minutes I just take wander around
taking photos looking for neat things!
 Adventures for sure.

Next cell site was on a hill behind a neighborhood
we had to wind and wind to get up there.
The brushy trees made photos challenging
 but A. and I managed some
fun shots of things far far away.

long lens

No one is around up on these high sites



A and I took what ever measures we could
to get photos and not fall off a cliff..
Look out A. That's a long fall.
 Her foot is tucked into a root I think

Now for the other side of the cell site

loved the red dirt everywhere.  Makes a colorful back drop

Heading down and out of the cell site.

We stopped for photos on the hill down
remember I said we slowed Phil down a bit today!

Phil wasn't smiling in his photos
 (he is work focused so we reminded him to smile!)
Phil and A.

This is just our morning.
I think I'll stop here and add the 2nd half of the day in another posting.
We ended the day late at night at a frozen yogurt shop.
There is lots more to tell!


After the next posting I'll re-arrange the posting by order
of day so check below for the next day.
