Today is the last day at the transmitter site. When we left, I thought that a month was a long time. It is not!

Tomorrow we have staff meeting so it is a half day. When we are done with the meeting we will explore some.

On Friday we will be going to Kruger and we will be staying for one night.

Today was the 40th anniversary of TWR in Africa.
Yesterday we got ready for today. I also helped fix some feed lines.
This morning we started a fire for the braii (grill) then we cooked a lot of meat and some corn meal.
Enjoy!

Yesterday someone found a snake in the building. It died soon after.

–WARNING! THIS NEXT PICTURE CONTAINS SNAKES!!!–

Today I helped at the transmitter site.  This morning I helped replace some switches in a transmitter. There was only a set of two that needed replaced.  The contacts were bad, and the transmitter that needed them was the only one with wires that clipped on even  though they are all the same. (That one seems to be the odd one).

After we fixed that, Opa and I went for a walk around the site.  We went over the bridge that I took the picture of Opa on his birthday on. Then we went down a old road to the site to where they put the road over a donga (ravine).

In the afternoon I worked on some school, and chatted with Mom.

We went to Milwane game reserve today!

We saw lots of animals including a baby zebra!

 

Yesterday night a owl landed on the power lines and got zapped. So when we got to the site that morning one of the generators was going. It was LOUD!
We worked on different things around the site after the bird was taken down.
Sometime around lunch it rained and a ton of flying termites took off. I tried to get a picture of them but I could not. I did get some of some birds that were feasting on them.
After it stopped and we ate Opa showed me around outside where the old roads are and the other places.
