Long day

Last night I had to go back to PSNY to finish that antenna job.

On the way to catch the train I hit a curb and blew out both of my left tires. :={

I missed the train I wanted to catch, but was able to get on an Acela for the grand total of $5. :=3

By the time I was done I didn't get home until ~12:30p this afternoon. I went to a tire store and got one of the tires replaced. The other one will be replaced on Friday. I caught about a 1 hour nap between New York and Philly and another 1 hour nap while waiting for the truck shop to open at work.

As far as I know I will be paid for 16 hours of work, because I was only off the property for ~45 minutes when I got the new tire.

BTW, I did take some picture while up in NY with my camera. I apologize for any blurring as I didn't take a mono/tripod with me. These pictures were taken in available light, with no flash, and only sharping done post production. These picture were taken at about 11p or so.

Click on the pics for larger versions.

This picture looks east towards PSNY and was taken along the side of the south ladder from the South Tube under the Hudson/North River. This ladder leads to NJT's side of PSNY.



This picture is looking east towards PSNY from between both tubes. The track to the left becomes track #12 in PSNY while the track to the right becomes track #11. The retaining wall to the left is the LIRR going towards the WSSY.



Where is the light at the end of the tunnel? Actually it would be in New Jersey, ~2.75 miles away, as this is looking west towards NJ down the South Tube. This shows that the ladder actually starts in the tunnel. The long line on the wall, on the right, was the antenna cable I had to work on. The blue looking light in the distance is a blue light and it marks where a call box is located in the tunnel.

Sorry to hear about your tires. Is the antennae adventure wrapped up?

As for the antenna adventure, as far as I know it is.

I like the somewhat eerie greenish hue to the first two. Makes them kind of surreal. :)

Reminds me kind of like the railyards in City 17 (http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/City_17).
