Hey guys, finally ive seen some more movement in my V02, up to 40 as of the start of this week, since getting back from the Invercargill trip Ive been either on the treadmill or out walking/ jogging tracking just over 100km so far in 2 and a bit weeks. Back into weights next month, decided to just do the walking & jogging only this month. But obviously still putting in the effort.
The Invercargill trip was awesome, but quite a whirlwind tour, didnt get much time to relax, straight to the smelter after landing, back to the hotel for dinner and then back at the smelter at 7.30am and then flew out at 4pm.
The Tiwai facility was huge and took quite a bit to work out where everything was and how it all worked, the staff were really amazing, friendly and informative, and you could see a real sense of pride in the workplace and the area as a whole. So much information was packed into such a short time, got to spend some time with the quality control people and also some time on a ride along in one of the machines they use to transport the molten aluminium. Really amazing how the whole process works, we saw ingots and logs being produced, walked through the whole process, from molten aluminium to finished product. Attended toolbox meetings, checked out health and safety procedures. Really cool time, enjoyed it alot. We managed to get up to Bluff hill and to Stirling point, was really windy when we went, but still enjoyable.
The sim racing group is going really well, getting about 10 racers most weekends. Ive been working on some mods for my rig, added an improved button box, and currently working on a flag/shifter light. Join the facebook group if your interested in participating, mostly Assetto Corsa, and all levels of skill Sim Racing Barons. We have discord chat etc, mostly short races 10 min qualify and 5 lap races, so we can get in about 6 events in the 2 hour block.
