220310 - Job in MN

Ok so I actualy stayed up most of saturday night playing computer games, until 4am where I decided to leave for the airport.

I parked the car in BWI express parking, and took the bus to the terminal. The flight out was a good one, everything went according to schedule and there were no problems with the flight.

At the other end, my contact, a maintenance man from the factory picked me up and took me to the site on sunday to do some peliminary work and basic tests to get them out of the way so on monday I can focus on the getting out early.

Well we found a lot of problems on the machine, the main blade shaft bearings were shot, so they needed to be replaced. I brought along some bearings that I thought were the correct ones, but it turned out to be wrong. We therefore had to find a supplier, on sunday to get some bearings. We were blessed, as we found a company with the equivalent bearings, and he was willing to stay open and wait for us to collect them.

We got the bearings back to the factory and fitted them to the machine. this was now at about 10PM. At 11pm we decided to carry on tomorow and resume the work.
