I spent the week traipsing around British Columbia on business. Flew in to 
Vancouver, spent the night near the airport. Took a car ferry to Vancouver 
Island, and drove to my company's office in Port Hardy. They have a wind 
farm in Cape Scott, 55 wind generators generating almost a gigawatt of 
power. We were there to install a Nutanix VM cluster and replace the 
networking - and fix whatever niggling problems popped up along the way.

Getting up at 4, into the office by 5, an hour drive in an AWD vehicle up a 
dirt road to the farm, off the hill by 7, find out all of the restaurants 
close by 8, eat at a pub - and repeat.

The last night we decided to split the drive up and stopped at Painter's 
Lodge in Campbell River. It's a wonderful fishing lodge with a riverside bar 
and restaurant. We ended up resolving a networking issue at a table at the 
bar, laptops out and beers drunk. Ended up drinking shots made of spiced rum 
and butterscotch ripple that tastes like a shot of torani syrup. Staggered 
to my room, woke up at 3, out by 4 to catch the 5:45 ferry to the 
mainland... no travel surprises.

Back in front of my computer, downloaded a 1.2 mb QWK packet and sorting 
through the messages before I look at work email.
