Searchlight NV. Trip....

This trip was very busy and very informative. First day there I ended up doing some plumbing work on a 14x70 trailer that was on the property. It was a very long day but I was able to get all the plumbling done, and then retired for the night. The next day was interesting... I was told to go and organize the sheds that have all kinds of cool stuff in them. These sheds are no ordinary sheds, these type of sheds are actual 14x70 trailers modified into different storage units for different things. I was organizing a plumbing shed that has all kinds of plumbing parts in it for just about any task you may get into. The other trailer has eletrical supplies, (which my friend is an electrician who his dad owns this place) who was very excited to see and talk about parts for just about anything. The other trailer was the tool shed which I have never seen so many screwdrivers, hammers, sockets and etc,etc. except in a Sears store. The last shed was the nuts and bolts shed, and this shed had almost every nut or bolt you would need to put something together with washers, lock washers, and all the drill bits you need to drill a new hole. Of course that wasn't the only sheds around, he had other sheds that had items of interest in them that I had'nt gotten to yet. Later that day I was visitng with one of the workers who does Assaying for this guy I'm working for and he showed me around and gave me a somewhat of a crash course on how to Assay ore samples to determine what kind of metals are in them. I really like this part because I always wanted to know how they did this, so I was all ears during this period of time. The next morning we got up and ate out for breakfast, then when we came back I was put to another task learning how to fill out claim papers and how to read the claims on the map and write down the sections to be filed. Wow!! talk about a crash course on mining and other interesting work, I havent had this much fun at work EVER unless I go home and build things after hours. I'm headed back down tomorrow morning and I sure hope the weathers nice with all the snow we are getting here in southern Utah. We don't see very many snowy days here in the desert!! And when it does snow it usually melts off the same day or the next. Hopefully I can get some pictures this next time to fill you in on all the fun.
