  • Colombia Pump Station

    Now that I’ve got a scanner. Here is an old photo from the helicopter (not taken by me though). It is from around 1994 when I was living in Colombia and flying around to the sites in helicopters. The pump station is, if I recall, Ecopetrol El Porvenir. The station is on the top of the mountain and we stayed in a camp at the base. The drive was quite steep. I remember one time I was sitting in the back of the minibus full of people going up the hill and the engine made a strange noise so the driver stopped and got out. Well, it was steep and the van started rolling backwards!!! down the hill which could have been deadly. And I was in the very back, no way to get out fast. But, the alert person in the passenger front seat jumped over and put on the brakes.

  • Ian at work

    This is a few years old. Like about 22 years ago, me hard at work getting my hands dirty. I did the engineering of the whole skid mounted vapour recovery unit for Eagle Pump and Compressor. The unit shipped to near Ponoka where I did the commissioning also.

    Well now I’m back to similar things, but 10 or more times more capacity and I don’t have to get my hands dirty 😉

    I’m not sure what’s about the glasses. I used to wear contacts, but sometimes probably my eyes were too dry.

  • Soccer Card

    Just in time for the World Cup final. This card appeared on my desk where I used to work at Telvent a couple of years ago!
