I plan on having a MangoMeet up here in my house at some point soon
I good idea. Like, this afternoon? LOL
-
I sometimes meet mangoes at my local IGA but not often. Hard to find good ones.
-
We have Mango Beer for today, too.
-
I just arrived at NTG HQ. The global command center. The heartbeat of the organization.
Was hoping that @jenuinecase was going to be making an appearance in the office today.
-
We have a vendor here too much to do already and so not today.. But soon

Is that another excuse for not giving us our well deserved cookies?

Vendor is not far away now...

Bridges are crazy busy this summer, we've avoided going to Canada just cause of the wait times. Over a 1/2 hour one day at 7:30 AM, usually its a couple minutes at that hour.

Half hour, ha ha. The bridge crossing from Chisinau to Bucharest is a 3-4 hour delay, even on the train!
-
The Danube crossing for Bucharest to Sofia is nearly three hours.
-
OUCH! yeah that would be bad with 2 very young kids.
-
You fancy people and your bridge crossings into other countries.

Yup, ages 5 and 7. They are used to it though. They like the Chisinau crossing because a crane lifts the train up while they switch out the wheels underneath. It's very cool.

Why do they have to change out the wheels?

Different gauge tracks. One country has narrower tracks than the other... I think

Hanging out with the EMC Isilon guys on a call.

CIS (Russian) world and EU worlds have different rail gauges. When crossing from the former USSR into the EU you have to have different width wheels for the different gauge tracks. CIS is narrow gauge, EU is wide.

Moldova narrow, Romania wide.

Hello EMC lads (and lasses... if there are any)

Here is a picture of the wheels sitting on the tracks next to our train ready to be swapped out below us.
